Never get cheap cases. My t28 on switch keep getting stuck and the wire management was really bad, have to take apart whole case to properly assemble it

Exactly why I invested in the SilverStone FT02 case. Damn solid piece of aluminium construction. Never looked back. I'll definitely re-use this case in my next rig.![]()
Casing is recommendable to buy a good decent ones over cheap ones. It goes a long way. Casing is not something that will DOA easily nor does it gets any problem.
Cheap casing cons are
- Lesser alloy being used
- More plastic
- Lesser wire management area
- Tends to flex easily
- Side panel will go unaligned when user keeps opening and closing the side panel
- Lesser functions such as, no hot swap HDD cage, unremovable HDD cage, unable to move HDD cage around
- More screws needed for HDD mounting and DVD Drive mounting
- Poor paint job

around $2700 for cpu & 2 monitor
