Case suggestions for something...off..

[KingArchlich]

So..a month or so I started to build a new pc and promptly lost my job.. Working again but unimportant. The important part is that I am going to finish this, but the case seems to be my linchpin. 

Originally planned to use Thermaltake core x71, then decided the view 71 to complement the shadowy case idea im running with (havent dediced anything really besides the mobo). However while going through my near daily questioning of cases I saw the anidees Ai crystal Cube  and kinda fell for it a bit due to the rbgw. The W being rather big thing for my shadow case. 

While I could go with the same type of fan with the view 71 I would still need to make a psu cover for the sake of aesthetics. The cube would make it so I wouldn't need to make one and save me about $60 worth of materials. 

So..to cut this short.. need suggestions. The cube comes out next month but I want to order a case on my next payday (27th). So..any case suggestions? Preferrably under $200 with tempered glass. As a side note im using the titanium x370 mobo.

How about corsair?

If tempered glass is a must have a look at either their Crystal 570x or Crystal 460x.

They also released the 500D not too long ago but I'm personally not too much a fan of the front end.

 

Extra question though:

Do you want the full case to have temeperd glass panels or are only the sides also good for you?

Honestly, the crystal series I fell in love with..but the clincher with that is there is no full tower crystal series. The reason im adamant with tempered glass with this one is because the main theme is to have a lot of subdued lighting. While the top and back glass isn't necessary, its still a bonus and depending on the price makes it worth the extra. Though to add on the corsair, I really like the psu cover and could go with having their name on the case.  

Side note: There was a good case by CUKUSA that I did consider, I simply cant go with the idea of having CUK on the side of my pc.

500D RGB is full tempered glass but a bit over $200 at 250 bucks. It is a full tower case though and imo looks pretty good. Has space for a 360mm rad up top and in the front and has a PSU cover already installed.

Lian Li PC-O11D

 

It's a very popular case. Black is out of stock and white is on back order, but for what you get it's a pretty stellar little box.

Lian-li does make pretty good cases, but still need to get a full tower.

So, gave up and did my usual skulking on full tower cases till I found something that seemed reasonable.

Decided on the Cougar Panzer Evo RGB. Is it a bit more? Yes. But it comes with the fan type I aim for to some extent and is a tempered glass base. I would have ended up paying an extra $40 or so to get white LED fans (Its RGBW) and controller plus a questionable amount to make a PSU cover had I gone with the View 71.  Overall In intent that would save me about $10 as a rough guess. While not the greatest solution it is the easiest and allows me to have wiggle room to waste a bit more on cablemods (old set was black and blue, going with white and red).

I appreciate the intent to help though.
