Hey guys i'm looking for a budget case for a family member, what do you guys recommend?
I've been looking at the Corsair Carbide 200R but can't decide if its any good.

The carbide 200R is pretty good, you might want to consider some of the cases offered by Zalman which are priced very well and quite attractive

the non plus version should be within your price range

Coolermaster seem to be hesitant to have sideways HDD bays.

Thnx for the input guys
Yeah cooling isn't really a problem the case thats being used now isn't cooling very well either. And the CPU isn't going to be overclocked anyways.

Also i'm not going for something like the HAF it needs to be a clean design or however its called in english.

Are you talking about the Fractal Design Core 3000? And what kind of door are you talking about?

The fractal design 3000 has more drive bays and much better cooling aswell as a fan controller. The 200r is a decent case though and is very easy to build into. It has better cable management and looks clean but its cooling is not very good and the plastic drive bays and ssd mounting system is not great either. If you have a psu with alot of cables then the fractal design 3000 does not have much space behind the motherboard tray so cable routing is more difficult.

Wow, no-one suggesting the Source 210 Elite anymore for people on a budget?

I was just noticing the N600 case, looking for some reviews.
