Looking for a good casing

[zenitro]

Ok so I am looking for a nice casing that mainly

a)able to fit my set-up
b)cheap
c)able to cool my component(since my desktop is going to be located in a place without window nor air-conditioned and to be honest get abit stuffy sometimes)
d) look nice (but not a must)


most ppl in hwz recommend sharkoon T28 which is a) b) and d) but i read review that it isnt that good at cooling despite 3 fans

Budget around 90 ba

Set-up
asrock B75
Superflower 600
MSI 7850 TF
1 HDD
maybe 1 SSD

Around 90 Bo simi good case for cooling ~ ur stuff all not that high temp should be ok de ~

3 fans still not enough, then change the default fans to better quality ones.
Usually, bundled fans are on the low side in performance.

90 can land you a good one. Sharkoon t28 @ $87. And yes it is still flimsy.

Sharkoon T28 - Performance Analysis and Conclusion | bit-tech.net
is int about the fan not being powerful enug i think. It is more of a design issue

"We weren't particularly surprised to see a similarly hot GPU Delta T of 46°C, as the side-oriented drive cages partially obscure airflow to the graphics card. With no side panel fan, there’s no way to improve airflow without removing the middle drive cage. Even then, the lack of an exhaust will prevent temperatures from dropping significantly."

I believe you can get the corsair 300R at $85 at tradepac. Was quoted at this price last i ask. But you have to bring it home yourself no delivery. Very good air cooling case. Benchmark score very good. Direct air flow to graphics card from front intake 140mm stock fan. Really like it coz of this no hdd tray blocking the front intake 140mm fan. Lots of option for additional 120/140mm fan. Option to install 2 x 140/120mm fan at the side to cool gpu also.

I think Corsair 200R is the best "budget" case.
Can do some cable management too

read several reviews online and it seems the Corsair 300R is better than sharkoon T28(i still like the coloured fan ) just that i have to cover the top if i aint gonig to put another fan there to prevent dust.

can get it @ 75, but the thing about the case is that the air flow seems weak

maybe can compliment it with additional cheap yateloon fans


to illustrate what i meant:

what i did with my friend's setup is to move the exhaust fan to the front as they seemed to be identical fans, added in another fan for the exhaust
