I'm looking to get a new case and want something really quiet but that has great cooling options.
Any ideas? Price- try under $100

Depends on what you want to use the case for, but Enlight 7237 case is great on price/performance and provides a good amount of cooling in a small, cheap case.

At ~$100, the Antec sx830&1030 are tough to beat, with good deals sometimes avail from onvia.com. They are NOT fulltowers, more like big midtowers, workstation-class cases. the fongkai fk320 is also excellent, and about the same size, with a more traditional look. At ~$70, the Enlight 7237 and the Superpower cases are among the best. Fan selection is the key to quiet computers, the same is true for cdroms and harddrives, to a lesser extent, because only the fans run all the time. The Antecs have a big advantage, noise vs cooling, as 4 80mm 20dba fans move more air and seem to make less total noise than 1 80mm 40dba fan.

another vote for the sx1030. Waiting for onvia to send a replacement for the one I just got. Looked like the UPS guys dragged it across the freaking US to ship it to me.

It looks pretty nice, but

FYI, you shouldn't be advertising your own products or website on the BBS.. The moderator's tend not to like it.

Mikewarrior2, I konw that dealers are not suppose to advertise at "Hot Deals" and "For sales and trade" forums. I didn't want to advertise directly anywhere else at Anandtech either, but I just wanted some opinion from people here about the case guide I made for my store.

Be sure to take a look at the Fong Kai603,very nice case. It is always about 2c cooler than my other case,also very quiet due to the double wall construction.Price is under $100.00

odd - I must have been looking in the wrong section, 'cause there was only 1 300w case on the antec list. Now I know.
