PC cases - expensive vs inexpensive

[Motherf♥♥♥er Big Scorpio]

Hi.

My pc-CASE is falling apart and sometime later i will probably buy a new PC case. Right now I'm looking at the DeepCool Tesseract SW Red. I have assembled some new machines using this case and i thought i'd get myself this case too since its looking cool, comes with 2 coolers and is inexpensive.
But here comes my question: If a case like this costs 37 euros and the market has cases, which are much more expensive like even over 100 euros, what may be reasons to pick expensive pc cases over the inexpensive ones? Pc-cases don't make computers run faster.

Love my Cooler Master Mastercase pro 6, was so easy to build with and was on sale for £110 which I though was very reasonable for such a well thought out and large case

Aye, they're a lovely case to work with. With cable tie-points like that, even Father Jack could've created a neat build.

Expensive: Better build quality(metal instead of plastic), better side panel window material, propably added high quality fans, good cable managment system.... But overall they mainly focus on the looks

That hasn't been my experience. From my experience they also have better access panel design and better cable management, usually with more modularity as well. I've used cheap and expensive cases alike, and expensive cases have always been better to work on.

Just buy a cheap case from a respected manufacturer. Cheap cases from no name companies are always terriible quality, cramped, poor cable managment and sometimes your knuckle finds the razor sharp edge that Johhny Wing forgot to file down at the factory.

i use a lepa case that was only $40 on sale. bunch of fan slots, cables can go behind tray, can remove 3 hd slots for air, only issue is cpu cable cutout on top is tough to snake over

You should never buy a case based on it's price. A majority of high price ones are ricers with no place to mount more than a couple of hard drives and none to put in front panel expansions.

Also, while the deepcool case has space for a lot of hd and expansion for more using the empty 5.25 slots, it's back panel is hilariously small. You better have a modular psu and have the patience for cable management or you'll have cables sticking in the middle of the case. On the bright side, it's one of the few cases that allows a long gpu like a 390 nitro without losing hard drive/ssd slots. Make sure you buy a side fan too. The 1 in the front is not gonna be enough.
