Best Budget PC Case

What struck us immediately about the Focus is that it comes loaded with two Silent Series LL 120mm intake fans, all for less than $70, which is pretty sweet if you ask us. They don’t move a whole lot of air, but they are very quiet, so if you’re running light on fans, this case should be a serious consideration.

Another pleasantly surprising aspect of the Focus is the space. Despite only measuring 19” (L) x 11” (W) x 21”, it can house GPUs up to 380mm and has adequate clearance for some pretty hefty CPU coolers too.

Despite the intelligent space management, the general design does lack a certain sophistication. The paneling betrays the low price tag and the window isn’t tempered glass, but acrylic, so it doesn’t have sound dampening qualities. There’s also not all that much space behind the motherboard plate for cable management. With a little tweaking, you can hide most of the mess, but it’s never going to look as streamlined as our top picks.

It does have some redeeming design features such as the vibration dampening padding in the drive bay, and frontal connectivity, but you can definitely tell it’s an entry-level product.
