Cheap and nasty is what you'll get with $30. Save up a bit more if you can and buy something like an s340. It'll be much better in the long run.

Yes, it will be very cheap. It will work though if that is the primary concern. You pay less and have to work more (generally) to build in less expensive cases as there is less features added to make building easier(like having to do a lot more manual installing of drives, using screwdriver more overall in a less expensive case as opposed to something like the 200R or S340 where they have a LOT of ways they make the building easier.)

 

From your description it appears that you are prepared for this though. Good luck!

 

Note that if willing to go up to $40 range this is a very good case for the money. :

I have about $30 to spend on a case.  I'm using a micro ATX board with an R7950 and a full size ATX PSU.  The GPU doesn't have a blower so I need a case with good ventilation, maybe even with built in fans.

The case with the best airflow is the case that isn't here at all.
