Case Recommendation Please - $50-$100

[bob4432]

Looking for a mid-size case, w/ or w/out tempered glass that will support 1 optical drives, ~3 3.5"HDD and ~3 2.5"HDD that offers good airflow, is quiet and has good cable management. Will need to support a full size GPU - something like a Sapphire RX580 SE size card and a Coolermaster Evo 212 CPU cooler (no liquid cooling). Now the kicker is I am looking to spend between $50-$100 on the case alone - already have PSU. Prefer black.

A desktop case is definitely not out of the equation - if the price is within the specs. I have access to s full aerospace machine shop, but doing a 1 off would put the cost per unit into "ridiculous" terittory, between 3d modeling, machining, laser cutting & anodizing - which would bring up another question, when you Anodize you effectively electrically isolate the parts, so I am assuming all the parts would have to be removed of the Type III Class 2 anodizing

Edit - error on my part - I had originally stated 2 optical base but I only need 1. Sorry about the mixup

Thanks in advance,
Bob

Your choices in 2019,

Tempered Glass or Plastic.

That being said, I recommend this,

Full Tower Rosewill Rise

Been on a similar search myself lately, stumbled across this bad boy a couple weeks ago. Seems to fit the bill. The window is acrylic, though there is a windowless version:

or if you need full ATX and really want the window:

I WAS going to recommend:

NZXT H500

Or Phanteks P350X

But then I re-read your requirements...
Those Optical bays really throw off the find! What on earth do you need them for anymore? lol.

Perhaps:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA68V57M4892
Pure Base 600, Simple, black, sleek, fits everything you asked for. (Black/Orange version for 99 has tempered glass version, but with shipping/tax etc puts you over 100)

Or a bit more gamery:

Corsair Spec01
