ATX case for sub 100$/€

Go to solution Solved by VVoltor,

So many cases, seriously. The NZXT S340 is very popular and for good reason. As is the Fractal Define S. And the Phanteks P400.

 

Hi there, 

 

I currently have Corsair 200r but I'm not really satisfied. It only supports one front intake fan and lacks dust filters on the top (among other things like not really good support for cable management).

 

So I'm looking for a case that would meet these requirements:
- 2 to 3 front slots for 120mm fans with (preferably removable) dust filter

- good cable management

- support for at least 2 3.5 inch hard drives + 2.5 inch ssd

- dust filters on top

- has room for 30 cm/1 foot GPU (Strix 480)

- has side window

- is sub or very little over 100$/€

 

I looked into Fractal Design Define C, which is the best candidate for what I'm looking for but I'm not sure if my GPU will fit.

Thank you in advance for your help and recommendations.

Fractal lists on their site that Define C can hold 315mm long GPUs, but if that is too close for your comfort, you can grab it's longer brother Define S.

yeah that's 17mm left to spare :D I'd say that IS too little
