Hey guys... I'm looking for a PC case with the following:

Cheap: $40-$60 or less
Small: 16in (406mm) - 18in (457mm) in height. Can be smaller.
Quiet: I used to use Antec Mini P180, something like that...
Dust-friendly: Intake filters, minimal venting. I don't want something with a lot of holes.

I like the Antec Solo... it's kinda out of my budget though. Any other recommendations?

I've contemplated the Cooler Master Elite 360, NZXT Gamma, NZXT Beta, Silverstone PS02/PS04/PS05. But those don't really fit the dust requirement.

System configuration shown below.

Thanks in advance.

No such a thing a dust free

There's absolutely nothing within your price range.

I have the gamma and it's not minimalistic in terms of amount of holes. If you want a small amount holes don't get it. Get something with no side vent.

Slightly over your price but its all I can think of.....

Would the Antec Solo be the next cheapest up? Amazon had it for $80 but that's the cheapest I found it. I remember I picked up my Mini P180 for about $60 after rebates about two years ago.

Thanks, but that case has too much openings.

Are there cases that only have maybe 4 vents (rear, PSU, front, and maybe top/side)?

I guess I could pick up one of the cheaper NZXT cases and put some tape over the vents. That would look so ghetto though.

for best dust help put the dust guards on the air intakes the 80 on the side and the 120 on the front
