I'm looking into getting a Matx tower or cube case, if I choose the tower I want it to have a power supply shroud or any easy way to make one, I don't want it to be over $150 cad and it doesn't matter if it's from a US retailer or a Canadian retailer since I can get it from the border since I live close enough to one, I prefer it to have white in it because I like white cases, I also would want a place to have a DVD drive since I will be downloading music off of the disc but I can also do it externally with the side panel off, so what case will work for me that's cheap but decent and a side panel window is a must for sure

Corsair Air 240 or 540 

The 540 is out of budget for me and it's not a Matx case

no i didnt. the case is very sturdy. i just was very careful not to touch the side panel with anything but my fingers. it scratches easily.

the only complaint i have is the lack of grommets on the cable cutouts. not a huge issue but its there.

the first picture is from before i left for college and upgraded my CPU cooler. My second picture is at college with my new CPU cooler
