the plastic tabs are reeeaaally finicky. and for the value of an extra fan included and a single usb 3 port, it's not worth it.

 

i have the original source 210 in white, and it's perfect.

Not finicky imo.

Get a bitfenix shinobi :P

Avoid the gamma at all costs if you like silence. I got the rosewill challenger, which is essentially a rebranded gamma, and it's old, and LOUD AS HELL.

 

Out of those 2 tho, the source is much better.

The shinobi is kinda out of my price range.

Is there any other good cases for $30-$40?

 the Bitfenix Merc Alpha gets my recommendation. http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=77540&vpn=BFC-MRC-100-KKX1-U3&manufacture=BitFenix&promoid=1284

Sorry.

I live in Australia so I have to use websites that can ship to Australia.
