Cheap Case with Removable Motherboard Tray and Removable HDD/SSD Cage

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Hey everyone.
I am looking for a relatively chepa case for modding. My maximum price is 150$, and since I am going to take it apart to use the seperate parts for modding, it should have some specific features.
Firstly, it should have a removable motherboard tray with an ATX form factor, preferably one that is removed with basic screws, not with a slide-out method.
Secondly, it should have a removable HDD/SSD cage, also preferably one with screws, but screws that are easy to access.
Lastly, but this one is not so important, it would be nice if it would have Red LED fans, so that I can use those in my Project as well smile.gif
Thanks in advance,
Alpha3lob
P.S.: If you want to see the Project I'm working on (Still in the very early stages though) click the following link:

Are you OK with black fans that you can mod later with LEDs and a micro-ATX form factor? If so, the Silverstone TJ08-E and PS07 are great choices. The former is 100, the latter 80.

The fans are not so important. I wouldnt mod the fans myself because I have no clue how to do that. I would just buy red LED fans extra. The price the 2 cases are that you just listed make that a not-so-big problem. Nevertheless (I added it to the main post as well now) the motherboard tray needs to be an ATX form factor.
Sorry for forgetting to mention that.
Anyway thanks for the quick answer smile.gif

I just got an AZZA Genesis 9000 from Newegg. The tray is a slide-out but it also held with screws for more stability.
