AOA guys, I want to upgrade my casing from Thermaltake v3 (that is in 10/10 brilliant condition, except out of the box dents on right panel).
So I want to know what are my options and where can I buy them atm, as I guess there is a terrible shortage of casings here. Budget is ~10k and I wan't the best I can get in it.
Here are some requirements:
-Large side window (I always wanted that)
-Max build quality in the given budget

Or is it a bad idea upgrading casing over HDD, as I have a brand new 500GB WD Blue + a recently dead SSD, so I am totally on HDD now and I feel terrible performance, nothing is as crisp as before as I had my OS on it and I keep my pc extremely clean, so the boot up and stuff was more than butter smooth, but it isn't anymore now. But if I upgrade to 240gb SSD then I would have to sell my HDD for $$.

Any reply would be very appreciated.

In 10k you can get a very good variety of cases out there in the market.
this how the list goes from what i can find and i prefer these ones because they support big GPU
• Corsair Carbide 200r 7000-7500 (i have this one and quality is off the roof)
• Cooler Master N500 7300-7600
• Corsair Graphite 230T about 9500
• Cooler Master Storm Scout 2 9500-10k
prices are taken from czone.com.pk and beegeek.net

Thanks a lot man, here corsair products are much cheaper as there is easetec, official distributor of corsair. But the prob is, even the 230T's body has much flex, which means its metal quality is not so good + it does not even have rubber grommets any where, neither are the dust filters, its feet are too low that if you install PSUs fan mounted downside, it will suffocate like hell + it is so compact that you can not even fit radiator at top. Same story with 200r.

I am looking for upgrade, I have currently Thermaltake v3 windowed.

sir, if you suffocation is problem than you have to aim for full tower case.. mid-tower is not cut out for ya... :crazy:
Case modification is also a good perk for mid tower casings..
Like i said i have 200r so i replaced its feet with something taller to give space for breathing at bottom..
installed led red strips inside the casing and front side mesh to give it ridiculously good look.
Went to the local ac repair shop and bought filter sheet and made myself dust filters for fan inlets.
For radiator yes its true.. its make it look like it suffocation but actually in terms of temps its not..
As for the quality of of metal, im actually quite happy but really are you planning to move it every day? i always place my side panels on bed to even avoid scratches.
also 200r comes with per-fitted rubber grommets :p
But again its all up to your decision..

Splendid choice indeed Sir... And i see you talking about modding in shout box.. just dont end up destroying you case.. start with small projects like LED lighting and painting... as for cutting stuff.. polish your hands on old scrap cases..

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
