So I am interested in a cheap case that may get resold or end up as a spare inside of a year. That's why I want it cheap.
Was looking at:
$60 - Lian Li PC-A05FNB
$50 - NZXT Source 220
$45 - Rosewill Blackbone
$40 - Antec 300
I'm leaning toward the NZXT, it looks like the extra $10 over the 300 is worth it. The Blackbone is a strong runner up, but it's got more side fan holes I'd end up blocking anyhow.
The LL is interesting because it's nice and small, but I don't want to get stuck needing a mobo power extension (noted on some reviews). It's also more expensive, but it is alu. and LL might be an easier resell.
Contents would end up being (all stock) i5-2500k, random nice z68 mobo, eVGA 460, CX430 psu and an SSD. No CD/DVD or HDD, no extras really.
Thanks
