A well performing budget case similar to Bitfenix Outlaw?

[flexy]

I am looking for a great case with a max. price of maybe $75-$100.

I looked at a few charts and those usually mention Antec Three Hundred Two, Corsair Carbide 200R or 300R and the Bitfenix Outlaw.

From all those, the Bitfenix Outlaw seems overall the best and "cheapest", but it seems this is an old model which is not sold anymore. They now have Bitfenix Shinobi, Alpha, Beta Merc or whatever they call them.

Which is the "successor" of the Outlaw? Or whatever other recent budget case would be good for a new build?

The case should be a mid-tower with good cooling performance, this is most important to me.

Hadn't seen the "Outlaw," and took a look at the Egg's gallery. What size fan goes in the exhaust port? That thing has some various kinds of promise. What did they do? Take it out of production? Or maybe they had a "run" on their inventory . . .

I built a case from a '95 Proliant Server tower -- a monster. Probably modded about five other IBM-beige 90s-era cases. I have a Coolermaster Centurion gathering dust and empty in a corner here. But I finally settled on the HAF 922s, and I've got three of them.

The CM 200mm fans will pump about 90 CFM running 600 RPM, but I don't know how long the bearings last in those. There's a Bitfenix LED that puts out 140, and a non-LED black-and-white NZXT unit that offers up about 166. JUst accommodate yourself about fans by other casemakers that don't fit the holes of your case, or your need-driven desire to "mod" the mounting so you get what you want.
