Hello, please recommend me a case, my budget is RM500 max this is what I'm looking at

500R/600T - Corsair
Trooper/Enforcer/Scout - CM

What I generally need is USB 3.0, prefer with LED, see thru side window, this case will be on the floor so I would prefer to have top I/O panel. Please recommend me other case you deem fit in this criteria, any brand =D

Actually the 500R supports internal WC as well just the config is different, although I'm using a CM 690II advanced, I'd totally recommend the 500R over the 690II as the dust filters are more accessible

at this budget, forget about the enforcer & scout, I'd definitely choose either the 500R or the Trooper but take a look some others like the Fractal Design Define R3,  Haf-X and Raven R02-E as well wink.gif

As bro Clem1982 recommended, Raven02-E will definitely be my pick. Having 3x180mm fan as intake. Superb cooling while premium looking.
I would grab it last time but the transparent window is on the right side which not suit me  cry.gif
CM690II can fit dual 240mm fan at top and btm which is awesome for a mid tower but it will be very tight packed if you didnt hav good cable management.
The 500R does has a large 200mm side intake fan, but it is unfiltered, so its basically a dust hoover.
Anyway this isnt big deal, you can always grab or even DIY yourself a dust filter  laugh.gif
The main feature is HDD docking. Do you really need it ?
It doesnt hav front usb 3.0 port and quite poor cable management and only come with a 120mm fan which mean you need buy urself a few fans with some price.  wink.gif

Thank you for the input, I do not fancy right hand side window either =.= Well USB 3.0 is kinda required as most of my HDD are USB3.0.
