Fractal R3 going for $80 on Newegg right now. Not quite $75, but close enough

R3 is more for quiet, Arc Midi would be better for air flow, albeit a bit more still (actually is $110 on newegg, although I saw it at Microcenter for $90)

Wow nice. That is the cheapest i've ever seen that case. Normally i'd recommend it to people even if it was $60
