Hey all,

I've been looking around for a store online or B&M that sells some decent microATX cases. So far I've found a few, but I still haven't found the 'one'. Here are the places I've checked out so far:

Directron.com
Xoxide.com
Ajump.com
Newegg.com
Fry's
Svc.com

And some other's too. Athenatech and Ahanix cases look nice, but I haven't heard good reviews. Chenbro has a really nice case except I can't find anyone who offers the PC80569B in black.

Idea's?

Oh yeah, case's with LCD's and under $100 are nice.

Thanks

Cooler master makes a few desktop-style cases (horizontal instead of vertical) that take standard power supplies and have full-height slots.

Asus makes the Aria cube-style case that takes a mATX instead of mini-ITX.

I like my Athenatech A100SC - very sturdy. Just takes a little effort and experimentation to get the cooling worked out. Nice thing about the Ahanix is that you can get them w/o PSU and put that new Fortron/Sparkle 270W unit in there. AOpen is supposed to have a nice new case - the H420 series.
. And this place has some cases that you don't find elsewhere, they haven't had a very good rep but it's been improving lately: http://www.amamax.com . But as far as cases with LCD I've only seen the ones you mentioned. http://www.Axiontech.com has a fair selection of Chenbro cases. http://www.dealsonic.com and http://www.excaliberpc.com are a couple others to try.
