QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Oct 23 2014, 05:42 PM) Right now it's trending towards the newer NZXT H440 and Phanteks Enthoo series but i find no fault going for the HAF-X actually so long as it still meet your needs. at that budget, here are my recommendations: BitFenix Shinobi XL NZXT H440 Phanteks Enthoo series Thermaltake Urban T81 Cooler Master Cosmos SE also add NZXT Phantom 630 on the list, its old but still relevant today. plus alot of people still buy it like the Phantom 410.

Thx q Compact ATX... one that comes to mind is the CM N200 or Elite 343.... if you're going for even smaller and don't mind going for a SFX PSU... Silverstone has the ML07 or the RV-Z01

Hey guys, I went through a small casing phase and got myself a Silverstone SG09. It's been a few years now and I think I'm ready to return to my mid tower cases. Small cases are nice when everything is in place, but I got a headache anytime I wanted to upgrade anything. The case was also quite heavy, something I didn't expect for such a small package. Can anyone recommend me a cable management friendly mid/mini tower casing that's also lightweight? I prefer something with a less striking look, so no Thermaltake cases for me. The Fractal Design ARC Midi R2 suggested above seems quite nice, but according to the website the casing itself is 10.7kg  I haven't done extensive research, but the Cooler Master N200 seems to be like a good candidate. It's a bit on the budget side though, so it's lacking some luxury items such as fan filters and toolless installations. Relevant specs: mATX size motherboard 160mm long modular PSU 9.5" GPU 2 HDDs, 1 SSD

Hi guise.. What casing do you recommend with budget rm250? Must have good cable management. The cheaper the better.

NZXT S340, the BEST BUDGET CASE with superb cable management and quality. 90% Steel!!  Elegant looks! Link here, http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/151-s34...r-atx-case.htmlAnd, our LYN Admin(Goldfries) is using this awesome case too. You can also search Youtube for it's reviews! Example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cNWOgbEXMIMoreover, if you don't like it's current painting job(glossy) of NZXT S340, you can always buy a powder coat type paint spray and change the casing looks. Because this casing construction is simple and easy to understand. This post has been edited by DarkSilver: Nov 30 2014, 02:55 AM
