Looking for a sizeable case to fit the msi neo4 platinum motherboard.
I do not want a tight fit, so i want about half an inch to an inch space from the dimensions.

MSI neo4 platinum dimensions:
12.0" x 9.6"
30.4cm(L) x 24.4cm(W)

Under 100 dollars.

Any suggestions from ya nforce4 mb users already ;p?
 
That's just a normal ATX sized mobo. But I will link you to a nice roomy case that I like anyway while providing an object lesson to the lazy and/or inconsiderate 😉 . See below.

Nick, Ribbon, Cheese, et al.;
. Please do proper link proxies. Like this: Silverstone Berserker, so that those among us who may already know all there is to know about what's at the other end won't have to visit the dang thing to find out whacher talkin' aboot (one who is [sic]k of following links). Besides which, I still modem and needlessly following links wastes multiple seconds of my time. Thanks..

well i was also looking for an aluminum case that allows me to carry the comp around i.e. no steel. Just looking at aluminum cases for now.
 
Most of the Aluminim cases for under $100. are flimsy. The Kingwin 424 (which is one of the best cases period) series has 2.0mm aluminum but it approaches the weight of a steel case - weighs about the same as the Berserker. IAC, go to the Cases at Newegg page and visit each of these brands: Kingwin, Aspire, Chenming and Enermax. When you get to each mfr's listing, type 'aluminum' into the "Search Within" field and click GO. This will find those listings that make any mention of aluminum. Some won't be ALL aluminum.
Well, that should give you something to do tonight.

Check out the Coolermaster series, Wavemaster, Centurion and Cavalier are all nice cases. You can get with or with out PSU.

Praetorian costs more than Kingwin 424 and doesn't have any modern amenities inside.

Modern amenities? What are you talking about? Tell me what the Kingwin has over the Praetorian.
 
Toolless drive mounts, fan controller, rubber mounts for hard drives. I think the metal is thicker too.

Indeed the metal is thicker..but you pay the price when it comes to weight. If someone is concerned about durability they should be getting a steel case in the first place. I don't see tooless drive mounts, just tooless PCI slots (which consists of thumb screws, nothing special) and the fan control is quite simple, and only controlls the front fans.

It does look like a good case though.
