Is this a good case?

[Okjoek]

I don't feel like spending a lot on a case since it's mostly aesthetics IMO which I don't really care about. I'd rather be putting my money into stuff that does... well stuff. But there's been some problems with my current open air system where it's vulnerable to having the cats mess around with it when I'm not around and closing off the room just isn't an option. It has to be an ATX because my motherboard is HUGE. 

 

This one seems to offer the most for the money + has free shipping. Am I missing something? Any better deals?

How do you "break" a case??? To be fair though I've never shopped for just a case before.

The headphones jacks and usb headers fell through

You get what you pay for with the real cheap cases.  At that price range the materials are pretty much junk.  You don't have to go all out or anything but I would try to stick in the $60-100 range for better quality.

 

You can of course get something like that, people use them all the time to save a few bucks.  It's ultimately up to you, the specs say it allows for pretty decent sized video cards and cpu coolers, which is another big thing you need to watch out for.

NZXT S340 and the Corsair  Carbide 100R would be my top choices for the lower end market, as I just wouldn't trust a $30 case to last several years. Having one break would be hell.

Alright. I'll keep looking for other alternatives. The budget for this case must not go beyond 40 dollars though. I refuse to let it.

Oh wow that Corsair one looks fantastic quality and utilitarian design. I might just be willing to be a little less cheap for something that good looking.

I brought a cheap case once and let me just say never again!

 

Spend a bit more and it'll last and save you money in the long term.
