Hi!!! :D Its my FIRST post!
To the computer gaming folks..... I NEED a case that is NICE, CHEAP ($65 with shipping) AND.... (important) good with air flow. :respect:

I am buying a Pentium D 820.

I have spent literally 5 hours on NewEgg and cant decide.
HELP!!!!!! :(

Does it come with a HEPA filter??? :laugh: :roll:

Hey... HERES a question..... why in GODS name do so many gaming cases come with a door to access the drives??? I hate that! :banghead:

to hide the drives :p
 
I like have a lockable front bezel to help control access to my computer at times. Of course, my taste in cases tend to be very server like too.
 
Awww CRAP man. I just cant decide. Is it SOOOOOO hard to find a good case that has good ventelation AND a side window AND is inexpensive ($60)????? ARRRGHHHH!!!:shadedshu
 
Cool Master Centurion 5 with the side window my friend. I swear to god you wont regret a buy like that. The case is so solid and very elegant. I wouldnt be saying this if I didnt own it myself.

The entire front will provide very good airflow because its like a mesh type front but its very hard to tell unless you actually take the front face off. If you place a fan in front of the bottom two drive bays you increase the air flow even more.

I recommend this case for anyone on a budget.


But rlly man if you just get like 20 more dollars there is entire range of cases you can get still.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811144151($60)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811144102($50)


I have so many choices here man if you cant pick one of these then damn XD. And take a good look at them to man cause most of them have pretty awsome airflow for your price range. Like the one I said was $50 after the rebate.

(Dont use any of the PSUs that come with any of the cases I selected) Cases usually come with rlly horribly made PSUs.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811164040 thats a good case surprisingly, side intake, probably a front too and looks like rear can take a 92mm at least not just 80mm, which is pretty good.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811145058 thats an ok case. looks like back can only take 2x 80mm fans tho.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811208009 nice case, looks like it may be able to take a 120mm fan, hard to tell from the dodgy gallery pic

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811147040 very nice case, takes 120mm fan for exhaust. no window tho and im not sure i could live with that "rosewill" plate on the front of that case - itd be the first thing to come off :D

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811217009 quality case, looks like it will take a 120mm at the back, if i could, id buy one, but im in the uk :(

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811162012 just a nice, if not simple looking case.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811144042 again simple but nice looking.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811147001 pretty damn sleek, looks like it can take a 92\120mm at the back.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811145066 thats a great case for the money, rear looks like it can take a pretty big fan, 92\120mm.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811145068 same deal as above, just diff colour

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811145073 awesome case for airflow, takes a 120mm for exhaust, direct fresh air being pushed in from the front and a side intake, major props.


thats my pick of he litter in that pricerange. if you get a powmax case, dont use the psu that comes with it... unless you want to blow your puter up in double quick time.

Stella Research man......just thought someone should mention that to ya....:rockout:
 
All of those cases have horrible rating for a reason. I dont think hes gonna want a plasticy flimbsy case that breaks.
 
for $50 you cant expect much:P, best to go with a coolmaster like some mentioned.
The rosewill has kinda the same specs, looks cooler but might make more noise than a coolmaster centron.

To much cheap plastic on the front, with lil air flow "I think".
 
You can't go wrong with the Centurion 5 if you're looking for a budget case. I've seen many higher priced cases that I didn't like as well as it. I know someone already suggested it, but I just wanted to throw in my agreement.
