Best case for 150$

[onsali20]

Hey guys, so I'm really stuck with this problem so I've got a shitty case right now, its not standard ATX, something smaller so I wanted to upgrade even though I have a small motherboard, I know it's smaller than standard atx, cant remember though.

http://computerpad.ae/product-category/computer-hardware/computer-cases/page/14/?orderby=price

This is the site I'll be ordering from, its ok if the casing isnt on the site, just tell me the name and i'll get it from somwhere

Basically i'm looking for good cooling, sleek design that is simple yet amazing, I've got my eyes on the corsair 400c and the s340 from NZXT blue matte version.

What you guys think? I've got only 3 days to decide though.

Thanks!

I need some more info first. What is the motherboard form factor? Is it proprietary?  What size case do you want? Are colors important? Do you want external drive slots?

I'm assuming he has a micro ATX motherboard.  I have a S340 and really like it.  It's a very solid case.

Yes, I think it's a microatx foxconn mobo I got for $60, any size, mid tower perhaps? Preferably blue.

Ok I would suggest the s340. Great case for the price.

That's cool and all but will the mid tower version do fine with my mobo? I like size :3

Oh yeah, the ATX version is great as well.

 

I can't find it on that site though, only ITX and mATX

 

TBH You'll do fine with an S340. I really like how clean it looks.

Yeah, but price is not a problem here as long as it doesn't go over 650 DHS which is 200$, so you can reconsider I want better cooling, more noise isolation and lighting perhaps more features too..

Alright, how about the H440?

It's about as silent but hotter overall, if you like the aesthetic of it it's a good choice. I don't like cases with 5.25" bays though, those should be deprecated

I've got a micro atx motherboard, core i5 444k, gtx 750ti, I don't think its gonna get hot.

I'll be blowing the rest of the money on a samsung 128gb ssd

Might want to get an S340 and use the rest of the money for some other upgrade then

 

But yeah, you can basically make your computer impossible to hear with that low power hardware.

I, on the other hand, only buy cases with 5.25 bays  

 

If blue is important, you may consider the Aerocool DS 200, if you can actually find it or the side window version.

 

Or this one and buy me a beer or two with the difference

Eh, external disc readers rock.

 

That case is really good looking. Why no window though?

Looks cool and all but its too cheap.

How about an NZXT Phantom case? Those are cool looking.

I wouldn't mind too much using external readers, but... front panels  I know it's not a majority scenario, but I have use for them

 

They have a version with side window, although far from "full panel" window as in the Corsair and NZXT suggestions above. Might be something about the material they use for the side panel or the window itself. Or an older design, before full size windows became a trend.

Ah, nice problem to have  

[onsali20]

Too damn futuristic design, I want something flat and sleek

why not the s440 though? does it have faults
