My PC case is quite old, small and ugly, so I want to buy a new one.
I also don’t want to spend more than 80€ on a case and I don’t really care about fancy led lights and external displays, just want something that is spacious, has good airflow and doesn’t look like it belongs to the 90’s.
Cooler Master 690 II Advance
Its called aero cool
Stumbled upon the Zalman Z9 Plus upon my searching and for just a couple less features than the Coolmaster case acade mentioned, I can get a pretty good case for just 50€.
Size?
Mid atx, full atx… etc etc
This my motherboard: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3/M4A785TDV_EVO/#specifications
Standard ATX size.

This is for you if you want to go for it.
Oh wow, that’s a peculiar looking thing but I think I’ll stick with a traditional format case, thank you.
Check out the NZXT Phantom on newegg. Lots of value there, several color variants of it so you can choose whichever one fits your tastes the best.
Too expensive and too big for my needs.
I heard the NZXT Alpha is a good budget case. Looks pretty good in my opinion.

I’m not sure how many Euros it’d be but I have an Antec 1200 and it’s pretty cool.
+1. I’ve had the case for some months now, it’s really good.
Totally irrelevant to your situation, but I’m using Coolermaster HAF X, and JESUS GOD, ITS COOL. I mean literally cool. It’s like… cool cool.

HAF may be big and (to some) ugly.
But it’s definitely the way to go if you don’t want to upgrade in any near future.
It has everything you need, plus a good feature-to-price-ratio.
/A happy HAF 932 owner’s opinion.
Agreed Just built a budget system for a mate of mine and the antec 300 is perfect!!!
+1 to the Antec 300. I’ve built a few PCs for friends, my home server, etc., in that case. Make sure you get the Illusion though (the other does not come with fans, if memory serves).
That’s what I got. It is a Tower case, but well worth it. Good airflow going on to cool your components. Good price/quality.
And for the wackjobs: it comes with wheels, so you can push it around.
