I'm having a hard time finding a new case for a machine I plan on building this fall. I was looking at the Antec PLUS1080AMG. Most likely I will go with this or the SX835II.

Here's what I am looking for in a case:

No fancy windows as I am not looking to mod it.
At least 2 USB 2.0 and 1 Firewire connector.
Willing to spend around 150 bucks
Would prefer some nice features like the Antec cases have but will consider anything if it meets the above three criteria.

The no fancy windows requirement is making this more difficult. I have pretty much covered what NewEgg has but if you have something you think would meet these please post a link. I'd love to see what others have and hear opinions.

Thanks for all of your suggestions. With the overwhelming response I got I think I have decided on the Cooler Master TAC-T01. :)

Not the best forum for help, but I have a Cooler Master and am quite happy with it. You should be also.

read some reviews before you buy a item usually they look all good or what ever and looks goody goody but hardware reviews will tell the truth behind the mask try reading some on that case and see if it fits ur style or not.

I have the antec 840 ( the one befor the 835II, they don't make it anymore) and I love it. Antec cases are pretty popular due to there great air flow propertys. Plan on getting a 1040 for my next build:beer::D
