Default Classy Case
Hey guys,

I'm looking to make a DAQ machine for a lab, and I'm stuck on the case. I want a really classy case that has good airflow, but I don't want to spend too much on it.

I was eyeing the ATCS but its fairly expensive.

I have set aside $120 for the case.

For classy, I'd recommend the Lian Li cases. Black brushed aluminum just looks so nice. Antec performance cases are also classy and great quality.

No LL cases for $120. All the Lancool stuff has blue LEDs everywhere as well.

Basically exactly what I was going to say

Lian Li makes great cases but most are over $120. You can find some used Lian Li cases on Ebay for much less though. The Antec P180, P183, or P193 are also very sleek looking cases with good airflow.

CoolerMaster Stacker?. A good deal for $70, plus shipping.

Also, try and find a Cosmos or Cosmos S for that price, they're really nice.
