hello, I am considering buying a case, and I would like you to help me clear up some doubts and make a better choice. First, I want to say that I do not generate a lot of heat with the use I give to the equipment. No games.
My components are:GA-970A-DS3P motherboard
AMD Athlon II X4 630 micro
Zalman CNPS 5X cooler
MSI GeForce GT610 1GB GDDR3 graphics
Tacens Radix 500W F.A
Samsung 128 Gb SSD
Sata 160 Gb HDDMy doubt is about the placement of the power supply and which would be more appropriate or better, if at the top or bottom, or if it does not matter much.
I am not looking for rare designs, nor lights nor anything related to gaming, just simplicity and functionality. It should have a front USB 3.0 port and should not be a bulky case.
The budget should not exceed 40€
thanks and bye

The norm is to have a case where the PSU goes at the bottom for the simple reason that when assembling a RL, the ideal place for the radiator is at the top.
In the 40€ segment, having the PSU at the bottom is almost a luxury, since almost all mount it at the top.Looking and remnirando, I opt for the NOX NX One USB 3.0: it fits the budget (about 35€).
Also noteworthy is the L-Link Q7 USB 3.0, which allows the installation of a future 120mm radiator at the top and is much cooler (the side transparent panel can be removed). -
hello whoololon…I have seen this model, what do you think.About the L-Link model..honestly I don't like that it has the connections at the top...bye

That's why I'm not in favor of recommending cases: it's a very personal thing.
For example, front connections: I personally don't like them because they're more exposed and get in the way when working with cards and disks, besides they stick out and you can end up wearing them without wanting to when passing by.
If you like it, then there's nothing to comment on, it's within your budget and has the connections you need.
