These have a lot of space and airflow for a low cost PC case. Quality of the steel is better than most in this price range. Acrylic side panel is a low point but this is for a budget build. Much better choice than spending $35 on a case with limited air flow and paper thin steel that gives you no cable management. Two 120mm white LED fans included that move a good amount of air. There are also some other nice features you don't get in most cases under 55 USD.
  • Filtered front, top and base fan vents
  • Vibration dampened universal drive bays
  • Reusable ventilated expansion slot covers
$49.99 after Promo Code: EMCDNDH25 (there is also a $6.99 Newegg shipping charge)

Remember that going too cheap on your PSU and case are going to be things you'll regret later on so spend a little more now on better quality to avoid buyer's remorse.

A 3 Pack of Fractal Design 120mm RGB fans alone cost over $60 so this $50 case with two high quality LED fans is a really good value. Again, the main focus here is budget pricing instead of RGB bling that adds nothing to the actual performance of a build.

nice case

only thing i don't like, which i have on mine, is the bottom air filter, it gets caught if not careful and bends over :)

How much did that ATX Deep Cool case cost ? You could always turn the PSU fan facing up and forget the bottom dust filter altogether.

yes, that is true, not sure i like hot air into the machine though :)

i purchased 2, one around 4 year ago and the other 5 years ago, around £35.00 each with 2x fans at the front and possibly one at the rear (can't remember now)

holds around 6 hard drives so use one as a media server and the other as my main machine
 
Have a look at how high the prices are for the ATX versions of this Focus G case. I'm sure the shipping would be much less for those in the UK. Over $107.17 to the US is just ridiculous.

Here's a video of a livestream build in this case. This is the ATX version in white, not the black mATX in post #1.
