Before I saw this I was going to buy a Stacker, but now I'm not sure. It's smaller, but I think it actually looks better - kinda industrial looking. Best of all it's $100 cheaper, and that is REALLY hard to ignore. The only question is if a G80 can fit in it.
 
why not look into a CM Centurion 5, or the Centurion 532 they are both relativly cheap cases and look half decent.

Because that case is obviously much better?

It has 9 bays, which can hold 3 120mm fans. It also already comes with 2x 120mm fans and a 120mm airhole, I also think it looks better than the Centurions.
 
looks small and cheap to me.

I looks cheap but i guess he wants it for quantity of drive bays, and not the overall quality of the build. I suggested the Centurion cuz it's much better built. thats just my input to it.
 
Clearly a low quality case. The first dead give away is the size panel. I do not know why this is becoming common but why is it that there is a circle pattern up top and then a ugly rectangle on the bottom? Its so stupid that I want to cry. I know the purpose of the vent, for the graphics card, but just doing another circle or even going really high quality and cutting them both completely out and using a standard fan girl! Amazing concepts, I know.....
 
with cases, you get what you pay for. While cheaper cases are usually acceptable, they are often poorly designed.
 
Not sure how big the G80 is, but it looks like you have about 2" beyond the last row of screws on a full size ATX mobo before you run into the drive bay. Should be enough room for the G80.

Unless they are obvious rip-offs of well designed cases :).
 
Best budget case? Have you considered this one?? ;)

Seriously, though, if you're just looking for a decent case for cheap, check out this case at the Geeks. Looks to be a 120mm in the front, an 80 or 92 mm in the back (could at least be modded to a 92mm if it's an 80mm hole), and you can't find much cheaper than that!

Plus, add another $4 worth of something or other to your order, and you can use the $2 shipping on a $20 purchase code SHIP4LESS. I challenge anyone to find a deal on a decent case, for less than that! :cool:
