So I'm getting ready to start buying pieces for my pc, I was wondering if any of you had any good recommendations for a case. I kind of like the one I found, but I'm still not sure about it. Pic related, its the case Im thinking of
>>54948438
also attached is the list of parts I plan on getting

For my next build I will either mod a powermac g5 case or get the ncase m1.
That's an alright case, though I'm not so fond of cube cases
>>54948438
the fans on cases like this are usually crap so I wouldn't recommend it unless you plan on replacing them.
>>54948494
what about price? the case Im thinking of is $60 and I dont really want to go over that
>>54948516
eventually I would replace the fans, but not right off the bat. I'm building this on a budget. This whole thing, peripherals included, is around $700-800
Parvum S2.5

Airflows shit. My r9 390 runs about 7C colder when the side panel is removed
>>54948520
I'm really not too concerned about price because I'm not building on a budget and I'm buying over an extended period of time.
Generally if you are building on a budget you want a cheap case so you can spend more on the actual parts. If you like that case the most from the $60 bracket then that is what you should buy
>>54948438
I'd rather go for something like:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146078&cm_re=source_210-_-11-146-078-_-Product
but if you like the look of yours it's perfectly fine. at that price point you can't do much wrong. just check reviews and if there aren't any red flags you can cop it.
this desu

What about those mini it cases or whatever I have to admit I didn't like those smaller form factors at first but they look great
>>54948744
those by Phanteks are pretty great too, all around probably one of my favorite manufacturers
>>54948693
I actually really like that. It could use a bit of flair but I can always do a bit of painting on it
Is window for fags?
>>54948812
the side panel or the OS?
>>54948827
Side panel kek sorry
>>54948854
yes
>>54948438
Fractal Design - Define S
>>54948854
Maybe
what about painting a case, would any of you recommend that or not
>>54948744
you'll need an AIO and they are a bitch to build but work well
This case is bretty good for a budget build anon, can confirm. Only 1 front USB is my only real gripe, that and it's much larger than it looks online. Plenty of space for expansion and cable management, even has top mounted fans for a radiator. and the fans aren't really that bad.
>>54948438
I have the case in your picture. It's a great case, lots of space. The only thing I didn't like was that the standoffs were completely threaded wrong like a retarded ape had done it. I had to end up getting standoffs from work.
>>54948588
>airflow is shit
I beg to differ. Pic related.
>>54949638
>Only 1 front USB
What? There's a USB 3.0 and 2x USB 2.0

Window literally only exists to show off your guts. If you have shit guts then a window is wasted
>>54949384
I really want to paint my monitor and case but I feel like it's almost certainly going to look like shit
