Good budget mid tower case

[Minorika]

Im looking for a good mid tower case for my Zen/Kaby lake build.

 

It should have dust filters so that i dont have to worry about dust so much.

I want to fit at least 3 3,5 HDD,s or 2 SSD,s and 2 HDD,s in it.

I need about 1 or 2 Drive bays for a disk drive and maybe something else. (any recommendations?)

I want to be able to fit full length graphics cards and sound cards in it.

It should also have support for an hyper 212 evo or coolers of similar height.

Support for a 240 mm radiator would also be nice for future watercooling.

A basement for the PSU would also be nice.

I also want it to have good cable managment.

 

 

I,ve been looking at the thermaltake chaser mark-1 and the cooler master mastercase pro 5 but i would like to know if there are cheaper alternatives for about 100€ or less.

 

Thanks in advance.

Have a look at the NZXT S340, it seems like it meets most of your needs.

Woops, didn't see the need for 5.25" bays. No, there's no way to install them (and have them accessible without taking off side panels). Unfortunately for some, more and more cases are coming without 5.25" bays because a lot of people have no need for optical media anymore.

I believe he means front 5.25" bays for things like optical disc drives.

Doesn't have the PSU basement (it has a bottom mounted PSU, but not the same thing). Only seems to have a front fans, not the bottom or PSU.

 

I assume OP would probably like a side panel window? Not sure on that @Minorika

True but the pricing on it is really good which would allow me to expand my budget elsewhere like cpu or motherboard.

About the window: I plan to put the pc under my desk so i would not have much use for a side panel window.

Thank you but that one costs 130€ which is 10€ cheaper than the pro 5.
