Hi guys!

Do you have any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Define R4 w/ window, it may be slightly over, but it looks great in my opinion.

If not, then any of the corsair ones look great

350D and Define R4, which are both out of range.

 

You can't avoid plastic at the 70€ price point though.

 

Sharkoon T9 Value line (probably too 'cheap')

Thermaltake Urban S31 (look very elegant, dunno if it is) it costs much on Alternate.nl but on alternate.de it's around 70€

who cares...

On Amazon.co.uk, the R4 is roughly 75 euros - I would get this. This version isn't windowed, but you can buy a window for it when you save up the money, or make your own window if you're feeling adventurous.

 

This is probably the best case of non-plastic construction with a (potential) window in its price range - in my opinion.

I'm probably biased since I have a windowed R4.

 

Honestly, look around for specials at local stores if you can. At this budget though, avoiding plastic is fairly hard.

I recommend the Arc Midi R2. Similar to the define r4 but better looking imo

Go with the Fractal Design Define R4 as was already suggested. It really is a great case all around and has a window.

Get the Corsair Obsidian 750D, great side window to show all of your hardware also great construction. What else can you ask you besides a great price and it has it for $150, can't be it!!
