Nice case, easy install, cool, front USB!

[imported_KuJaX]

hehe the title says it all. I'm building a system for a loved one and I want to get her a case that is an easy install, cool, has front USB and isnt a cheapo. I browsed newegg and realized that there are thousands upon thousands of cases, so thought I would ask for some advice. I'm looking to spend in the $50-$100 range. I don't want a big piece of plastic, but something that will workout quite nice, already has the fans, and won't break with shipping. Thanks to all that can help!

edit: No cathodes or lights in it

same thing just silver (I personally like the silver color better, but most people seem to be favoring black these days.)

Is not actually silver, more like bronce. I have one and it's very very good. A bit heavy, thou...

the antec SLK3700-BQE and the SLK3700AMB are not the same case. the BQE uses a quieter power supply (1 fan as opposed to 2). the BQE is also overall better than the AMB. there is only a $2 difference so i would suggest getting the BQE case instead.

hehe, sure $2 difference in price, but $16 difference in shipping costs. That is a total of $18 more, for a $70 case, which is more than 25% increase in price. 🙂

I highly recommend the Coolermaster Praetorian !

Good looks, installation-friendly (ie. removable mobo tray, thumbscrews, etc.), and superb finish quality.

You can't find a better case at its price point ($95-100).
