The BitFenix Nova Midi Tower is my favourite budget case! Looks really good for the money

even cheaper than the Corsair 88R that droidbot suggested what do you think about that case?

The Nova Mini tower is bad, the 88r gives you a lot more in terms of build quality and ease of assembly. I'd spend the extra $5 (or whatever the extra bit in your currency is , in the US thats the price difference) for that.

Well the Corsair is probably a bit better when it comes to modularity, mean thing that you can take out pieces you dont want in it or move them around.

Bitfenix is lacking that a bit, but that doesn't mean it's harder to build in.

 

Overall the COrsair 88R is prooobably the better buy, if you like showing alot and care about cable management and looks, easier to work in I guess.

Bitfenix will give you a smaller window but still stuff you can show off with if you want to.

 

IMO the Bitfenix looks overall better, I think I would have chosen it just because of the looks over the 88R.

I'm not saying that it's going to be a challenge building in the Betfenix in comparison to the Corsair, but you get the deal.

 

It's a bit(fenix) up to preference

Keep this in mind though, I'd choose the Bitfenix based on looks becuase I feel like the build inside will be fine anyways.

Specifically what I didnt like about the one time i worked in the case is the poor cable management it has a long with the fact that there is no way to route a 4pin/8pin cpu cable to the top of the motherboard from the back; the cables on the Seasonic s12ii I used were just barely long enough to run directly upwards to the cpu power, lt alone trying to route them behind the motherboard and then wrap around. an extension could have solved this but I didnt have the time. Everything else was okay at best. It's workable and will get the job done.
