Factors To Consider When Choosing The Cheapest ATX Case
Choosing the cheapest ATX case can be a daunting task. With so many options available, knowing which options will give you the best bang for your buck is hard.
The cheapest ATX case may only sometimes provide all the needed features, but you should consider certain factors.
This article will cover important considerations and tips for finding the cheapest ATX case that meets your needs.
Consider Your Budget
The most important factor in choosing an ATX case is budget; how much money do you have to spend on a new build?
While finding cases with great value at low prices is possible, ensure you don’t skimp too much on quality or features to save a few bucks here and there.
Remember what type of components you also plan on using – if they require more power than a basic budget option can handle, investing in something higher-end might be necessary.
The cost of an ATX case depends on its size and quality of construction, as well as additional features such as water cooling support or toolless installation options.
Generally speaking, you can find cases to suit any budget, from less than $50 US dollars to several hundred dollars for high-end gaming rigs with all the latest bells and whistles in their design.
Size Matters
Another key factor when selecting an ATX case is its size. If you plan to build a powerful gaming rig or workstation, you’ll need a bigger case for all your components to fit comfortably.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for something more compact and portable, it may better suit a smaller case for your needs.
After all, if you buy a case that’s too small for your components, there will need more space to fit everything in. On the other hand, if it’s smaller, you’ll save money on extra features or materials you don’t need.
The cheapest ATX cases come in various sizes and can accommodate different types of motherboards and components, such as hard drives and graphics cards. Knowing what size will work best for your build is essential when shopping for an affordable option.
Form Factor
The form factor of an ATX case also impacts its overall dimensions and capabilities. The 3 most common are full tower (FT), mid-tower (MT), and mini-ITX (mITX).
Full towers have the most space and are great for those who need room for larger components such as multiple graphics cards and hard drives. Mid-towers are smaller but still provide enough space for most setups, while mini-ITX cases are the most space-efficient option but may only fit some components.
Airflow
Good airflow ensures your system remains cool and efficient even under heavy loads. The cheapest ATX case should have plenty of ventilation holes or fans to ensure airflow throughout the interior.
If you don’t plan on using additional cooling measures, ensure the case has built-in sufficient active cooling options (fans, liquid, etc.)
Not all cases are designed similarly; some have better airflow than others.
Having adequate airflow will help keep your system cool and reduce noise levels from fan operation. This is especially important if you run multiple components that generate heat, such as graphics cards or processors. In addition, having good airflow can also prolong the life of your components by preventing them from overheating due to insufficient cooling.
Therefore, when shopping for a cheap ATX case, consider how much airflow it offers to get the best value for your money and ensure optimal performance of your system components over time.
Noise Level
Noise is another important factor to consider when selecting the cheapest ATX case. Some cheaper models may not include sound-dampening materials or efficient fan design, meaning your system could be loud under load.
If you don’t want to be disturbed by an excessively noisy PC, ensure that the cheapest ATX case you select has noise-reducing features.
Cable Management
Good cable management is essential for keeping your system looking neat and tidy. Fortunately, most cases nowadays come with plenty of routing holes and tie-downs to easily organize all cables and wires.
If you want something more advanced, look for cases with special cable trays or compartments to simplify cable management.
I/O Ports
The cheapest ATX case should also provide plenty of I/O ports to connect your peripherals conveniently. This includes USB ports, audio jacks, and other connections such as HDMI or DisplayPort. Ensure that the cheapest ATX case offers enough options to accommodate your needs.
Materials
You should make the cheapest ATX case from durable materials to ensure longevity and reliable performance.
Steel is the most common material in cases, although some models may also feature aluminum or plastic components. Metallic cases are usually more durable than plastic ones but can be heavier too.
With all these factors in mind, you should know better what to look for when selecting the cheapest ATX case that meets your needs.
Remember your budget and preferences, as well as the size, form factor, airflow, noise level, cable management options, I/O ports, and materials of the cheapest ATX case you’re looking at – this will help you find one that offers great value without compromising on quality. Good luck with your search!
FAQs About Cheapest ATX Case
What Is the Cheapest ATX Case?
The cheapest ATX case is typically a budget-friendly option, such as Cooler Master K500L or Thermaltake Core P3, which offer great value for money and come with standard features like USB 3.0 ports and tempered glass panels.

What Features Should I Look for in an ATX Case?
The features you should look for depending on your specific needs and budget. Generally speaking, some key features to consider are the size of the case (mid-tower or full tower), cooling capabilities, cable management options, and aesthetics such as RGB lighting and tempered glass panels.
Can I Fit a Big Graphics Card Inside a Cheaper ATX Case?
Yes! Many cheaper ATX cases provide plenty of space for larger graphics cards up to a certain length, so long as you check the manufacturer’s specifications before purchasing. Also, ensure room for extra components such as hard drives, liquid coolers, and other peripherals.
