Hey all,
1st time poster here, so please be nice :P been following TTL for around 6 months now so I'm enjoying his content a lot!

Now my issue.
I currently live in Australia and I'm moving to Canada for 5 months. I would like to take my PC with me so I have something to do at nights etc. I'm taking most components over via my luggage but not my case (as its way too big to send).
I've been looking around on the net for a case around $50-$100 USD mark(as I don't want to spend a crap ton when i really don't need to) to fit all this gear into (maybe not the 2nd 680). Thought about getting a BF Prodigy but then I'd need a new mobo and I'm trying to spend a little as i can. That being said, I don't want to COMPLETELY cheap out on it. Needs still to be a decent case. But the biggest problem I'm running into is that not many cases in that price range offer H100 support especially with the Sabertooth Z77 armour taking up a lot of room up there.

Now I don't really care about looks as it is just a temp build (will sell case before I come back home most likely).

Cases I've been looking at that "seem" alright are Antec GX700 and Coolermaster Centurion 6.

Any help would be greatly appreciated though.

Thanks

I personally find the front intake on the CM 690 II lacking tbh. I'd go with an Arc Midi R2. Great ATX case with plenty of options and it shouldn't be over a 100 dollars.
 
Well ive had a look at both on amazon and the 690 is $70 and Arc Midi R2 is for just under $100. FYI, I'm only doing push or pull only. The 690 looks like a tight squeeze in push but as you can chuck fans under the top compartment pull is an option. Though the Arc Midi R2 looks like i wont have a problem at all getting fan/rad inside the case.

Edit: scratch that, they are both around the $100 mark, I don't really know how amazon works too well (we don't use here in aus much) so I didn't include postage on the 690.
