So I'm not looking for anything flashy I made that mistake once when I decided to not get my own and offer to get a free one to save money (Hand me downs are the best free things at times) so I really just want one with airflow and a nice side panel to look at my beautiful face in the reflection, though it's a tough question for new starters to custom builds, and I've never really "Owned" my own case before and I really don't know what I want other than fans and hell I barely know how to connect fans xD my brother helped me with that bit I hate cables. But seriously anyone got any good pointers I can't support a Large tower just a medium or less which is all I really want are there any good mid Towers with a lot of fans?

Please @Dormant God or quote me if you want me to see your message/reply

Theres a lot of nice cases out there, I prefer tempered glass as it generally looks better and doesn't scratch. Its normally tinted so keep in mind if you wanna see inside you're need RGB strips:

 

My favourites are the NZXT 340 Elite, INWIN 303, Phanteks Evolve M

 

my new build is in the INWIN 303

Well I say knew, its coming up 5 months old but still. I would happily have had either of those 3 cases I mentioned though all are great lookers in my opinion

Man I wish I could give my GPU a case worthy of it I just have a crappy raid max xD

 

I'm still deciding if I want to do full water cooling still.

The Phanteks P400 is a nice case for less than 100 usd. Has lots of space for fans as well.
