Good air-flow uATX mid tower cases?

I'm looking for a economical case that could still handle something like the GTX4601GB or 6850 with a quadcore i5-750 or Ph2 955.

I've found the Rosewill R102-P-BK but that's about all is there anything else out there?

I'll only have one harddrive and dvd drive for drives in the system.
 
Cooler Master Elite 341

Typically costs around $40, supports FOUR 120mm fans (front, rear, two side panel), holds any huge graphics card, normal ATX PSUs.

Best part besides being inexpensive is that it is very compact!
 
TJ-08 is a really nice case, for $100. Only problem is that it is "short" front-back, so the PSU has to be relatively short or it will interfere with the optical drive. It uses the same chassis as the Athenatech A301BS and the Cooler Master Elite 340.
 
Teh Rosewill 101 is bettar on account of eschewing cheesy drive covers. 'Tis regularly "on sale" for $20 shipped.
 
I have the rosewill as a HTPC and honestly I love it. Considering the $23 shipped I paid I couldnt be any more happy. I voltmodded the stock fan to 5V and added a nexus fan on the back. The chassis is actually an enermax. Few problems were one of the screws was loose and wouldnt tighten. I used a bigger screw and problem fixed. So as long as your willing to make a few adjustments here and there no biggie. Has a compartment where the usb/lights/switch come from which is awesome to hide extra cables in.

It runs cool granted it is a HTPC (I used low heat generating parts). But the airflow would probably be pretty good because it is a very small case so you dont need as many fans to move air around.

There is also the inwin dragon uATX and antec p180 cases you could check out.
