I'm searching for a case under $80 that offers strong airflow and ample space. It should fit a Noctua NH‑D15 CPU cooler, include a built-in drive bay and SSD slot, come with fans, and provide room for future liquid cooling. Appreciate the help!

Many excellent cases are available, but most require two fans; however, I recommend at least three fans. I would purchase a case and then select a high-quality, high-flow fan to install at the front. Here are some case options for adding a fan.

That's a tall order all for $80 and to be of decent quality. Without all fans included maybe, here's a list:

Check the cooler height yourself, and how many fans are present.

The Fractal Design Define S offers a solid selection. Includes two quality fans, designated areas for HDD and SSD, plus ample room for radiators and liquid cooling. An optional side window is also available.

I present identical cases without any affection.
