I'm looking for suggestions on a budget-friendly PC case suitable for light gaming—something simple and affordable, ideally under $100. I'm not interested in flashy cases with glass panels and RGB lights. My main requirement is to have several USB ports available, especially in the front, as my current setup has only a few. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

I recommend anything from Montech. They generally offer good quality cases for budget builds, just be cautious with their X5 and X5M models since they use SATA-powered fans which aren’t PWM and run at full speed.
For a good budget case, you might like the Montech AIR 100 ARGB MicroATX Mid Tower. It’s priced at around $69.90 and has decent features without breaking the bank. Plus, it includes three USB ports on the front! Check it out here: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/M7Z9TW/montech-air-100-argb-microatx-mid-tower-case-air-100-argb-black
If you primarily need extra USB ports, have you considered just getting a USB hub instead? They can make it easier to access multiple ports without needing a fancy case. Check out this model, it has good reviews: https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/usb-hub/uh720/
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll grab a USB hub. But can you also recommend a simple case that doesn’t focus on USB ports?
This looks solid! Smaller size and three USB ports is perfect. Added to my wish list, thanks!
