PC case suggestions?

[waterjug]

I build my computer about a year ago now, but when I built it, I used an off brand cheap case, that was full ATX, and I only have a micro-ATX motherboard, and I'm moving my computer around more than I anticipated, so I'm looking for a new case that is smaller, more durable, and also has a window. Here is a custom Newegg Search that I searched looking for one, but I have no idea which ones are good. My price range is definitely below $60. Suggestions?

Ive heard good things about the master box series and i absolutely adore the thermaltake core v21. I used to have a corsair Air 240 which is a decent case although good looking cable management can be a bit tough

This one would be my recommendation:

https://www.amazon.com/Fractal-Design-MicroATX-Case-FD-CA-FOCUS-MINI-BK-W/dp/B072JC4SCN/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1523066672&sr=8-5&keywords=Fractal+Design+Focus+G

Try not to buy from Newegg, they lied to their customers in several states and threw them under the bus. Plus, prices are often better elsewhere.

In this case, newegg's price is actually the best (superbiz charges $17 for shipping)

Out of the ones in the custom search, I'd say steer clear of any cheap Rosewill cases, they're awful to work in and feel cheap. But I agree with Archie on the MasterBox series, they're pretty skookum.

Except that you will be hit with a tax bill for that from your state. Factor that in and it is actually more expensive.

That was specific to Connecticut going after Newegg for not charging sales tax, and then Newegg having to respond by sending out letters to Connecticut. Newegg doesnt charge sales tax for most US states but that doesn't mean you dont owe them. It's up to the individual state to enforce the laws. Therefore, since the tax is technically the same whether you pay it at time of purchase or during tax season (granted that you dont pay any penalties on overdue taxes) then it's still the same, making Newegg, again, overall cheaper since it's shipping costs less.

Except that it wasn't just limited to Connecticut, Newegg lied to their customers and had the option to charge sales tax, as other sites do, going forward. Instead of which they threw their customers in several states under the bus. They are also, now that they're Chinese owned, quite happy to scam people on a regular basis. Nobody should be recommending or supporting them. And no, Newegg are not cheaper for many things at all. If they are, do tell me where I can get a 1060 6Gb on Newegg for $300, or a little over, which I can elsewhere?
