Hello, I am looking for a new case to replace my old one. I am willing to spend around 50 euro and get something not great but at least nice. Right now I am looking at Fractal Desing Focus G and Coolermaster K500L. The first one I like the most becasue of the PWM fans but the other one has two 3.0 ports, although the fans are not PWM and I think they will be louder. I don't really care about looks, but I would like it to be as simple as possible, don't really like gamer aesthetic. Thank you all.

Well do you really care about noise? I don't think it will be loud but then again I don't know what your preferences are. I would personally take the cooler master JUST because of the IO. Then If the noise was an issue, I would replace the fans with Noctua anyways.

Based on your preferences, I'd get the Focus G for the PWM fans.

you could go with the masterbox 5 lite. For me it works totally fine

Well, it only has a fan and is a "too gamer" for me, but thank you for your suggestion!

It seems like the most reasonable option, but any other idea is welcome!

If a end up buying Noctua fans, it defeats the purpose of buying a 50 euro case. Any option could be to buy a 5.25" bay with more conectivity like this? Or are they not really trust-worthy? https://www.amazon.es/CSL-Panel-frontal-unidades-retrocompatible/dp/B00WK3F6XQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1540932224&sr=1-2&keywords=3.0

I have my build in a focus G and I like it.  The questions is consider are, how important is the quietness of your build to you and how often do you use the front IO ports?  I usually just use the front IO if I an pulling some files of a USB drive.  They are usually empty for me.

The thing is I am usually moving files from my action camera so I think the 3.0 speed is needed. But I would love to have a case that does not sound like a jet taking off like my actual one does. I have found from another forums some cooler master cases that look incredible and right now I think I am going for a masterbox 5 lite probably.

Is going to a computer repair store or something and picking up an old case from a pre-built not an option? that's going to be the cheapest.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
 
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
        In Flanders fields.
 
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
        In Flanders fields.

The masterbox 5 lite has little to no airflow. 

 

The MB500, MB510L and MBB11 would be better options

Nice to know, MB511 and 510L were also on my radar but not MB500. Thank you.
