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

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
