New Case help budget case but feature packed

[killster1]

Maybe something like Blackhawk ultra from rosewill. Budget 100 to 400 depending how fancy and feature packed. Usb3 and 240+ rad spots are only thing needed. Smaller cases so fine but have to usually sacrifice something. Cooler master master case 5 looks decent front rad and top rad spots Usb3 low price. Single gpu 4x2.5" 1xm.2 can do external if need anything else.

Thanks for the input. I have 3xantec 1200 they seem dated with the usb2 and small rad options so hoping to sell locally and grab latest greatest.

I'm not sure when a 'budget' case was in the $100 - $400 range, but the Fractal Design R5 is worth looking at.

I went with corsair 780t. Seemed like good budget case 160 shipped now searching for h110i x2 to put in.

My idea of a budget case is $40 + $20 shipping. Sometimes . . . you can even get a good deal on shipping.

The 780T is priced right for enthusiasts serious enough to want some flexibility in what they do with the case.

I like it. It has possibilities, whether for heatpipe, custom-water or AiO. I especially think you could fit two AiO's in there, and the front and top look like 4x 140mm fans are possible. I'd have to look at the specs carefully to be sure.

The only drawback for me is the hangover I had from a large case I modded from a Compaq ProLiant '95 server case. It was bigger than full-tower; I'd put it on three-inch double-casters with brakes.

So these days, I try to restrain myself to mid-tower class cases.

Ya I own 3x antec 1200 and two lianli pc77 (think thats the model) so I don't mind big case. Easier for my big hands to work on and fit 5x HD 2x gfx. Been dying to buy new motherboard cpu but nothing carches my eye.
