[Kingkazma]

so guys im willin to spend up to 50 bucks (before tax) on a new case for my new rig as follows

i7-2600k
8gb ddr3 ram
1tb WD drive
GTX560ti
ATX motherboard (waiting for more to be avaliable on the egg)
Future Bluray drive
500 watt PSU


i have no fans so if its included in the case, thats a big bonus.

Cooler master elite 430 can be had cheap at microcenter if you are near one. Can sometimes get antec 300 for cheap as well. There are other inexpensive cooler master cases that fit the budget as well. Not sure what the antec 100 runs but that looked decent to me as well.

Coolermaster store has a refurbished 690 II 49.99. Excellent case. Worry not that its refurbished you won't be able to tell.

XD the last thing i care about is how it looks, functionality is the main thing im lookin for, thanks for the suggestions though, will look into them.

That CM 690 II looks good to me.

Otherwise, there are plenty of good cheap gaming cases these days and free shipping is the biggest way to save.

for the record dude $50 is cheap but not 'cheap as hell' you can get a solid, nice case for $50 with a bit of looking around; great suggestions in this thread. i've seen a few gigabyte cases on newegg lately around the $50 mark, which is intriguing; i've never used a gigabyte case but i know they're a reputable motherboard manufacturer, and the cases look pretty nice as well. lots of good options. i have been using a cooler master centurion 5 for years now, it's been a great little guy.

cheap as hell is like $20 *with* a psu that will cut you if you rub it the wrong way...and by rub it the wrong way i mean install stuff in it.

The NZXT Beta should fit the bill.

make sure you use the promo code for the discount.

NZXT makes awesome cases. The M59 is a little more but on sale now at Newegg for $59.49. Easy tool-less drive removal, good cooling w/ plenty of fans, and cable management.

I picked up the haf 912 (cooler master) for 50 plus free s/h. I would recommend it to anyone.

Ya, if in new condition....that is a nice case for his setup.

Just whatever you do is DON'T use an included power supply if there is one!

I think Antec is an exception to this rule.

HEC Blitz $42 shipped. I did a build in one recently and it acquitted itself quite nicely for a $40 case.
