Hi,

I'm re-building PC for a friend, he has some obscure gaming case which I would like to replace, but he has strict budget, so I cannot go over the top.

Main points for the case:
Priced around 50 pounds or less
ATX Case
Not "gaming", just nice and tidy
Black is better, may have white accents
Recent model with USB3 and Audio FP
Good build quality (I mean - it does not bend on touch)
Window is optional, but silence is better
Easy to build in, no sharp corners
Good cable management
Space for at least 3 HDD's and 1 - 2 SSD's
Toolless is better, but not required
Will probablly be air cooled, no strict need for radiator mounts.

Is there something you'd recommend?

EDIT: I've accidentally pressed Enter, and posted it incomplete

I've been looking at Kolink Stronghold case here, how many HDD's can it mount, It looks like drive cage is all cramped in the basement. I need 3 x 3.5" drives (possibly more in the furure) and 1-2 x 2.5" SSD. Can SSD's can be mounted on a middle partition vertically?.
And glass side planel is not really needed.

Otherwise looks like a perfect case.

Edit: Ok now I'm looking at Fractal Design Core 2500. Has 4 3.5 inch bays, and one additional 2.5 inch SSD location.
Almost ready to pull the trigger. May be someone knows some fatal flaws in this case, or some better options?

Thanks
