I have 80 dollars right now and im just wondering what would be the best case that i can get for that price.
 
define what makes a case a 'gaming' case.

and the above case is 79+19 shipping so it's 98... just about 25% over budget for the OP
 
IM pretty sure knowing this guys that, that case doesnt have enough Leds's he needs something super flashy. So do him a favor and find performance plus flash. Cuz i dont think that cooler master is gonna cut it.

Couldnt have said it better akram
 
LEDS suck. once u go UV u don't go back. though u could certainly do both. thats gaudy as hell. but thats what u want right? just buy some cheap used lian li off the forums pc60 or watever and mod it urself.
 
You all just gonna spit out a bunch of crap or actually gonna help this guy out?
That Coolermaster case was $50 yesterday, went up in price.

To the OP, we need more info, theres no such thing as a "Gaming Case", you need to let us know what you want to do with it, what your gonna put into it, and also what features your looking for otherwise we cant help you, theres thousands of cases out there we cant just pick out a single case for you without more information!

Without knowing anything about what you want I will suggest you look at the Coolermaster Centurion cases. the Centurion 5 is an awsome case for the money, but sense i dont know anything about what your looking for it may not be for you!
 
I'd be willing to part with a very slightly used Antec 900 Gaming case for $80. PM me if you're interested.

I dig the rc-690 as well. I've heard decent things about it. :)

Are you sure that you want a ton of LEDs, which would make a "gamer" case? All that flashy shit gets old after a while I think. I have all my cold cathodes and shit on fan controllers so I can turn them off.

And are you talking 80 shipped or 80 before S&H?

$80 plus S&H. I paid $149 for it.
 
Won't be disappointed with the 900, its one of 2 or 3 cases I would reccomend under $100. Great air flow, a bit cramped so it can get ugly but it works well for $80-100.

Bought one of theses recently. Great case, but it came with no screws!? Yes its a screw less design, but how am i supposed to mount the motherboard. I bet mine was a mistake, but who knows, luckily i had plenty of screws from past builds.

HAHA! The screws are all lined up nice and neatly down both sides of the 5.25 drive bays...Open your case...You'll see 'em!

The coolermaster case is pretty nice, I haven't looked for a case in a while as I have a really nice case that I love (see sig).

Anyway, that case has dropped in price on newegg again to $59.99 ...that's a steal imo.

I think if you can trust the seller go with the thermaltake Toughpower. I dont trust Xclio. as for the case I would still go for the Coolermasters, I personally dont like doors, but as for what you like I think it comes down to personal taste on the case. If you like the Xclio case then get it. I dont know how the build quality is on the Xclio cases but I do know the coolermasters are top of the line for there price.

I'd say head over to jonnyguru.com and research both the xclio and toughpower. Other than the PSU's your build is equal/better than his.
