Help me find a case

[zcalpey]

I have been on a long search to find a case for my planned build and I can’t seem to find one that’s good enough for me. I would not like to spend over $60 US on a case and I’d like to be able to view the inside of my PC as well. The case needs to come with fans (preferably good ones) and I would especially love it it they were RGB in some way. I don’t want the case to be huge, but I am a first time builder so a lot of space is also good. I would also the case to have good cable management. Currently I am leaning towards the Thermaltake Core v21 or the Deepcool TESSERACT. It does not have to be these cases, and I am open to any suggestions. Here is my build in case you curious: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HZsNvn

Corsair 88r or the Spec-04

You are going to be limited in that budget... I will give you a few options around it though

The MasterBox Lite 5 RGB has about everything you need. It is 69.99 atm, but with a 10$ rebate for 59.99 total.

 

Then you have the DIYPC DIY-Model X-W-RGB. This is less at $58 It comes with 2 fans, but I would add a rew more to the front which will increase cost.

 

You have the Corsair Carbide 275R. It is 64.99 and comes with 2 fans (1 front, 1 back) for decent flow out of the box.

 

There are cheaper options, but you will truly be getting what you pay for with them. So I would highly recommend you increase your budget $20 and get the MasterBox Lite 5. It will give you all the fans you need and the other items you are looking for in a case.

I’ll definitely take a look at these, but currently I’m looking at the Fractal Design Focus G. Is that a good case?

I looked at the MasterBox Lite 5 RGB and it’s the same price as the MasterBox Pro RGB. That case seems to have a few more things that could be better for my build. Do you think I should go with that instead?

Yes this is a GREAT case for the $$$. Building in it is easy, it has everything you need and nothing you dont. Sadly that means you lose out on some things you "want" like RGB tempered glass and a PSU shroud, but this case does not skimp on cable management or build quality or airflow!
