bukalapak seems like amazon, not many great product filters, but tokopedia had some useful filters so I was able to find a couple of cases

 

These cases aernt "high quality" but they're cheap and will get the job done.

Cube Gaming Finstera Black

Cube Gaming Finstera White

Valborg Black/White ATX (This looks like a knockoff Corsair 460x)

Skon White

 

Two brands I actually recognize ?

Corsair Carbide SPEC-04

Cougar MX330-G

Hi!  I'm looking for a good case for under $80, should I buy:

Phanteks P300 @$70 / Rp. 1.050.000

Cooler Master Masterbox TD500 @76 / Rp. 1.150.000

Deepcool Earlkase RGB WH @$79 / Rp. 1.200.000

NZXT H500 @$85 / Rp. 1.300.000

Phanteks P350X @$85 / Rp. 1.300.000

 

I'm thinking about getting the Phanteks P300 or Masterbox TD500, but I really like the design of H500 and P350X. Should I add some extra money for a case? Is it worth it? I'm still a student, so it takes a longer time to save money. Tell me which one of the 5 would you prefer :D

Check out the Meshify C by Fractal Design might fit your needs

Agreed, one of the best cases on the market, I just got one a few weeks ago. Better than any other case I've owned.

But the Phanteks 350x is my favorite of your list. Better airflow and compatibility than the H500 and in my opinion it looks better.

I checked on Amazon 75 USD

I live in Indonesia, where hardwares cost double the cost in the US (online), and even cost tripled or quadrupled in offline stores. They've admitted that they increase the hardware prices for offline buyers.

Do you have India options for the K500 or the MB500/510L/511? These have mesh front panels (510L has side vents instead) which would be better for airflow, but are the same case everywhere else. (and should be the same price)

The K500 cost $80 and the MB500 cost $90, the other two aren't available ?

What websites are you able to shop on in Indonesia? Perhaps I cant look through the listings to see if there's one we haven't mentioned yet that's a good value.

Cube Gaming has a reputation for a VERY bad build quality, most of their case are also some of well-known brands' imitation (go check Cube Gaming Pomona, it looks like a combination of NZXT H500+Phanteks P300+Thermaltake View+Define C ? ) many people in my country have a bad experience with them.

The Cougar MX330-G catches my attention, might go with it ? Thanks for your time & helps ?

Just note it doesnt come with any front fans, so you might want to consider picking up one or two for the front as intake.
