I need a quick case suggestion for 40-60€ max. I'm currently running a old Aerocool iCurve that I bought in 2007 I think and while it served me well I was cleaning out my PC again yesterday and figured it would finally be time for a new case. I could never figure out the cable-management properly with the iCurve, my 7970 scraps at the HDD cage and it's a pain to clean my CPU cooler with so little space :/ As a side-effect of all this the air-flow is pretty bad so I thought it would be time for a new case with summer coming.
I looked around and thought of the here recommended Cooler Master N400 or a Zalman Z9 Plus. The Zalman caught my eye because it comes with four fans included which seems nice for the price-range. Things to consider for me, I would like atleast 4-5 3.5" drive-bays as I currently run three HDDs and would like to have room for expansion in forms of a HDD and/or SDD in the future with how big games are getting and I only have half my Steam Library installed
Additionally there should be enough space for cable-management behind the mainboard-tray while still managing to close the side-panel, my PSU is a old 550w BeQuiet Dual-Rail and it has plenty and plenty of thick cables I would like to hide. Other than that enough space for future-proofing GPUs would be great, I don't think I will ever run SLI or Crossfire but I would like to have the option of atleast one three-fan GIGABYTE card in the future but at the very least no more 7970 scrapping against my HDD cage. Oh and my CPU cooler is a Coolermaster TX3 Hyper for reference.
Bonus if anyone can explain me for dummies how to pressurize my case so I don't always have a universe of dust inside, living right under the roof of a house has its negatives
Thanks for any suggestions and help in advance!
