Hello guys, getting a new mid tower, any cheap casing recommended?

I am eyeing on CM Elite 311 due to the cable management and the cheap price. But I like CM 430 Black's internal black.

Is there any casings which has:
1. cable routing to the back like CM 311
2. tool-free installation (basic requirement)
3. black internal
4. I/O panel at top instead of middle

1,2,3 would be my 1st priority. Budget 100-150 only sad.gif thanks!

Looks not bad but how about cable management? It doesn't have dedicated hole to route the cable to the back of the mobo... Or I can manage it in other way?

My rig would be simple,
i3 2100 +_ stock HSF
Powercolor HD4670
2x HDD, one DVD rom

i guess cm elite 311 plus is black interior. hmm.gif

@em0ti0n, depending on the cable management n also the fans. if u would like to get a high airflow case fan then it would b good but it is very noisy n u might need to clean your casing frequently. smile.gif

noisy> can use F12 fan or other silent fan..
dusty> well, cant avoid it..

low airflow>> sked that it will become oven inside and killing the hardware sweat.gif
but i think this case is good enough if there is not much hardware inside smile.gif

just share my opinion about this case icon_rolleyes.gif
