Hello @Clem1982,

Full Black
Silent
Very good air circulation (as my environment is quite hot)
Dust filter (less dust as possible to go in)
Reliability (at least solid not like tofu, on/off button wont easily spoil )
Simple design (not monster-like look, fancy like gamer)
Place on the table beside wall
As less use of screw as possible
Possible cable management

I don't mind how ugly it looks but i just want something that i dont need to clean that often like the cap ayam im using right now, just a week after cleaning inner side full of dust as if like never clean before also i'm not sure why my environment makes all my metal at home easily get rusty =/

I'm actually looking for Lian Li PC-7H / PC-8N, however Lian li casing stock availability with below RM300 like these model will never happen any soon. So, i don't mind getting any brand now as long it meets my requirement above =/

Hope you can help bro

is it worth to buy this case CARBIDE SPEC-03..my budget under rm220

hey guy.. is the prodigy M is a good buy?
planning to buy it with h97m gaming gigabyte

Looking for a small enough CPU chasis

Criteria
- fit normal size PSU
- normal size GPU
- 3 3.5" HDD
- 2 SSD
- 1 optical drive
- Plain colour
- not going to Water cooling
- no blink blink needed
- no side window needed
- easy access / maintenance

Budget around 300-400, can be stretched.

TT versa series or the BitFenix Neos or Comrade, even CM's Elite series can do justice

Can take a look at the Silverstone PS11 this one is really solid but simple and very quiet with dust filters but you do have to get a little creative with cable management a little

it's one of basic entry level by corsair, if you really like the chassis then just get it, but if you're open to options, take a look at BitFenix Neos or Thermaltake Versa and the CM elite lines

Prodigy M is a good solid chassis with multiple color options, but it's also not your normal chassis and you gotta pay attention to your hardware orientation and airflow is a little weird in the chassis

hmm.. CM Elite 120 ADV is a good bet but if you wanna go a little premium I suggest taking the Silverstone TJ08, it is slightly bigger but the quality on this is amazing for it's size

Clem1982 Superb replies.....the casing model u recommended is what i am looking for....Nice!

Cooler Master N200 / Bitfenix Comrade
Silent depend on type of fan you install, cant help since you on low budget.

CORSAIR Obsidian Series® 450D / NZXT H440

Fractal Design Define R4 non-window RM375
Fractal Design Define R4 window RM425

I can tell you that Define cases are super silent, can be placed in your bedroom.
It sound very quiet (almost silent) compared to most computer cases I have reviewed so far.

I would advice you to save extra money and get computer cases that are around RM200-300 because anything lower than that,
manufacturers cut back on a lot of things such as inconvenient installation of cables and hard drives, lack of proper dust filters, build material not solid (flimsy and thin).

If you insist on that price range, you can grab Cooler Master N200.
Grab DIY dust filter at RM6. 2 Fan Intake + 1 PSU Fan = 3 (3 x 6 = RM18).

Asunakirito is right, invest a little more and it goes a long way.. I still have my original CM690 at my hometown

Maybe you can try going for the Thermaltake Versa series? or go second hand??

hmmm..then what would you recommend if the budget's around rm200? would something like Cooler Master N300/N400 be good?
long lasting is definitely the most important criteria and also cooling so the hardware doesn't heat up and get spoiled easily, and also not too "cool" looking
btw will be using an ATX motherboard so MATX cases are out of the picture

BitFenix Outlaw doesn't get anymore special than this at that price bracket, reverse atx style

Here are a list of computer cases I would recommend for $200:
1. NZXT H230
2. Bitefenix Neos (My review at https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3339205/all) @ RM180
3. Cooler Master Casing ATX Silencio 352 @ RM180

Do take note that computer cases below RM300 budget bracket will have:
1. Difficult time doing cable management (less than 1cm of space behind motherboard tray to tuck cables)
2. The rear brackets are permanently removed (can't be placed back with thumbscrews).
3. Lack of rubber grommets on the motherboard tray holes OR stock computer fan aren't sleeved = not great aesthetic
4. Computer case feet is made of cheap plastic = might slip.
5. Flimsy thin material, easy to bent = side panels difficult to install back into the case.
