Best Mini Case for less than $100

Whats the best mini or mid case I can get for less than $100. This should include at a minimum a good 300W PS, 3 external 5.25" , 1 external 3.5" , 2 internal 3.5" and a fan.
I was thinking about the Antec SX635 or Performance Plus 660.
I will build the system once, and then I will open the case very rarely, so thumb screws and that kind of things are not needed. Looks do not matter either.
 
I like my Evercase 4252. It's not the best, but it's good for the price. I got my $40 case at a PCClub, and it had a 300W Enhance PSU which has worked well on this 8KHA+ (5v never dipped below 4.90).

The one at Newegg is $42, and it is like the one at PCClub except it comes with a case fan (which is no biggie; Panaflo L1A fans only cost like $3ish.) It has four 5.25" bays, two external 3.5" bays, and four internal 3.5" bays. It also has two front USB ports. 🙂
 
Personally I would go with the Antec Case. I have the sx830 and I love it. Building the system with this case was exceptionally easy and pain free. (Literally) I've built systems using other cases, like the Enlight 3237, and they are too much of a hassle. As for the power supply, with Antec, you know you're going to get a PS that can handle anything you throw at it.

I just build my new system 4 days ago and used the following case in the link. It came with a 300watt PS and plus a case fan. This case is a mid case by the way. I bought it for $99 bucks at a local shop.
