Best sub $40 case?

[ShadySocks]

I have assembled a list of good cases, but can't decide. Here it is:

 

Cooler Master HAF 912 $40 Rosewill CHALLENGER S $20 Rosewill Stryker M $25 Rosewill GUNGNIR $30

Should I go with one of the cheaper cases, or get the CM. It will cut into my CPU budget, so I have to decide well.

Just a tips. Don't put all the link in the same line as it looks hard to see

CM HAF looks nicest of all. But since it affects your CPU then get the cheapest one. Case is the least thing that will affect performance of your PC.

Out of those four, the HAF 912 is the only one I'd even consider.

 

Or this thermaltake

I don't see the clear superiority of the CM, or the Corsair Spec 01 over the stryker. I do have a modular PSU.

Well the stryker looks more cheaply made, has sharp edges that might damage your cables, but you're right it should be OK

I am probably going to go with the CM. You're right. Because of my low budget, I have been cheaping out on a lot stuff I buy, and many of those bug me daily. for $20 more, it is probably going to be worth it.

As long as you don't cheap out on the Power Supply (look, an EVGA 500W 80+ is fine, but don't get no Logisys), you're fine

It's white but it doesn't make to the whitelist?

I cheaped out. I got a 750w modular PSU for $35

Ahhh you're probably OK

 

I got worried because most $35 750W units are actually really bad 400W units that lie about their rated power output.

 

Got me scared for a moment there

Haha I care a lot. Well happy computing (and if you're gonna do a really high-end build with an i7 and crossfire 490s, don't use that HIVE )

[Scitesh]

Don't but HAF 912 the cable management on that thing is pathetic I got rid of mine(now in a temporary antes case)  would upgrade on Xmas

[Shiv78]

That Hive is OK, especially for $35 I'd say its probably pretty good, although a 500B or CX450M would probably be less crap lol
