I`ve been looking in to getting a new case for a while as i still have the stock galaxy 3 case that my pc was original built in.

I have come across a few interesting and most importantly decent and cheap cases.

I never heard about ''Cit'' before and I would not taking him , the Bitfenix seems like he got the best air flow and you got nice window too and he have option to setup your cables management , and good for money value .
 
IT all depends if im going to mod a case. and it dosent need alot of room I would grab something like the Xigmatek Asgard II which is usually $30 USD its not special by any means but its pretty damn cheap and can be modded fairly easily.

With Cheap cases just pick what works for you. most of them are going to be lesser quality vs more expensive competition but theres a few diamonds in the rough scattered around.
 
The cit seemed interesting to me as ive never seen a case that cheap with so many cable management holes
 
i dont think you can get the Xigmatek Asgard II in the uk ive seen the 1 and 3 versions though
 
I think im going with the windowed shinobi because i also have a 5 quid discount vouches aswell as free shipping and lowered vat

I actually like cheap cases because they are usually tooled designs. I dislike toolless designs.
 
The metal in the Shinobi is super thin. Light pressure anywhere causes the metal to bow and distort. One mishap in shipping can lead to a banged up case as well.

A beautiful case, but could have used a couple tenths of a millimeter thicker on the sheet metal.
