Upgrading my case

[Murilo_A]

I have this K280 (not made by CM btw, it's a replica) for quite some time and I don't really like it, and I'd like a new case that has:

 

-Window (optional)

-At least 2x 3,5" bays and 2x 2,5" bay

-Good cooling

-RGB is cool, but not necessary (I don't even know if you can find RGB in cheap cases)

-USB 3.0

 

Any suggestions?

 

I don't have a budget because I prices vary a lot in Brazil, but I want something cheap, about $120 or less

Fractal is not available in my country

Most common are Corsair, Cooler Master, Thermaltake and NZXT

Damn that sucks. NZXT S340 Then?

Corsair carbide 300R windowed is pretty nice, check that out

Looks a good option for my needs but I didn't really like it's design

That would require me to change my PSU, the CPU power cable is ridiculously short. But I also might buy a CS550M when I buy the case, I was looking for a new PSU anyway.

Yeah I know there's some good looking ones out there, the problem is the 5.25" bays, no way to use external?

5.25" bay? My DVD drive is off, I hardly ever use it =P

Well you can buy an extension cable. Also please don't buy the CS550M, rather get the grey version of CX550M

Not available right now, but it will probably come very overpriced (it's incredible how RGB stuff is overpriced here)

Forgot about extension cables, might consider that. And why not buy the CS550M? It is Tier 3 on this list like the CXM Grey units, and I've seen a lot of people recommending it, also, it is 80+ Gold.

The CX550M is said to be better, for pretty much the same price

80+ Gold is really good to have, energy is quite expensive here, but I not even sure if I'll be changing my PSU now.

if you go for the nzxt s340, you may want to consider the elite version. it looks stunning imo.

It's really hard to find it online, the only one that I've found is too short.

oh, in my country it costs €99,- so i thought, since the price in usd is lower most times. it would be within your $120 budget.
