Current Case/build:

As you can see it is pretty old and has a few poor mods done to it. Since it's probably a good time to clean out my watercooling loop I figure why not make it fun and transfer this build to a new case and make it clean.

If you know of a good case $50 or LESS, please let me know. I want something clean and not flashy.

I have this in mind:
XCLIO 188A COOLZER Mid Tower

I plan on removing the two side fans and back fan with black yate loons. I will also be permanently removing the front cover.

New plan:

I want to mount the dual radiator above the case and cut holes for the tubing to go into the case. I also plan to paint the inside of the case completely black (even though there is no window... i know). The two side fans and two radiator fans will have the foam fan grills (don't know exact name).

Please let me know what you think. Also if you have any case and/or mod suggestions please let me know!

Cooler Master CM 690 is a nice case for what you want. You can get a refurb for $46.00, and they're clean.

Wow thank you very much. A nice case indeed! The only reason why I would be slightly hesitant is because it is refurbished. I have never ordered anything refurbished so Im not really sure what to expect. I have tons of extra screws/parts so even if I didn't get anything but the case that would be perfectly fine. On the site it says "Refurbished items may have scratches, dents or other forms of cosmetic damage which do not affect the performance of the unit." Personally since I plan on cutting holes for the screws/tubing if there are a few scratches that is no biggie.

Thank you very much, there are a lot of cheap refurbished cases that would work perfectly, I will look into those more in depth. If anyone else has any suggestions please keep them coming! :D
