Especially if you have Amazon Prime! I do!

I might be willing to get something shipped to you if it would help, you could PayPal me the cost and I would have the case shipped to your doorstep. :toast:

Well maybe you can scan the local Craigslist and grab em. I see Source 210's on my CL from time-to-time with other cases for pretty cheap... might luck out. The issue I see, even with cheap cases is getting them shipped...which is why it is quite a challenge to quote even a decent case in your price range. So if you can avoid shipping, and do a local pick-up..you might snag a nicer case for way less! Might not tho..some folks are awfully proud of their wares.

I'm always checking my local CL and it seems my small country town doesn't have a lot of DIY hardware folks. But I will check that. I am still waiting for ebay to release my money.

Im actually not, nor a Frys. Small town. :/

After looking I think I am going with a Zalman Z1 or Z1 Neo? Any advice? Still open to other cases.

EDIT: Amazon isnt quite clear about the amount of fans each one comes with. If the Z1 Neo comes with 5 which it says then that would be the clear choice.

The rebate on that Zalman case goes through the month, but I don't know how long the additional $10 mark down will last.
About the NZXT Source 210 cases, they often go on sale w/o shipping. According to PPP, they were $30 as recently as 8/25. (I still like the Source 220 better. More fans and USB 3.0)

The Z1Neo comes with an extra 120 mm fan, which I think is important for your GTX 570.

I was mainly looking at the Amazon cases thanks to Kursah's help with shipping. Its actually a little cheaper on Amazon w/o the rebate. I've never been a fan of rebates and probably recieved 10% of all i've sent. But I am not familiar with Zalman as I havent ever bought any of their products except a VF900 cooler back in the day when they were fitting on 8800GTs iirc.

Kursah · Sep 7, 2016

Zalman generally makes good quality items, I've only ever worked with one case and it was nice...wasn't my favorite for cable management but it was nice...that was a while ago though!

Built my friends pc into a Source 210, its a good case. The plastic front panel that is designed to look like brushed aluminum is kind of cheesy but overall the case is a solid value.

cameronh779 · Sep 15, 2016

Bump for pictures!

My next move in my venture for a decent PC is to get some speakers, monitor, and a headset.

Then i will start saving for a decent GPU upgrade! Thanks to all who have helped me! Couldn't have done it without TPU! You know who you are!
