Some cases are worth it tho, even for 249€ with no fans, eg. the Phanteks NV9. Size, space for radiators and fans, RGB built + controller + addon kit etc.
Oh no, this one isn't. Just saying that it's common in that niche space. I personally spent about $200 for my case, and the price was not my fave but the case is super portable and I love that about it.
Consider looking into 3D-printed cases, if you have access to a printer or thought about getting one. Lots of nice small designs out there. For the price of one of your cases, you can get an excellent printer already.
