So yeah been a while since i was here, but i was wondering what kind of cases to you guys recommend? See i decided to downgrade the case, NZXT Phantom, for something under a hundred so i could get a gtx 570. So best case for under or at 100 dollars. Plus if it would help heres what im getting.

I was think this:

thing that really sucks is that you are buying an overclocking processor and you haven't added a cooler yet either, so I guess its up to a case or cooling no?

No i forgot to add the cooler, though a cheap one i read some good reviews.

CM 690 II, that might be the one, how many fans does it come with i wonder, want everything to stay cool, plus i like the way it looks

Anarchy0110 · May 29, 2011

In case of sub-100$, that's the best choice for u IMO

It includes 2 or 3 120mm fans :confused:

The CM 690 II advanced looks and has the features of a much more expensive case. It is the best choice for under 100$. Comes with three fans, one 140 front, one 120 up and one 120 back.

i`d go for a HAF 922 great airflow and great cablemanagement..
also imho got great looks to, imo better then the CM 690 II but thats personal

I have to agree with the Coolermaster CM690 II.
The fan layout in the case is nice and the docking bay is also a nice touch.

I would have most probably gone for one if I wasn't given a Lian Li case.
