Need case recommendations

[CP5670]

I'm doing an overhaul of my computer and am planning on replacing the old case I have, which doesn't have great airflow. I am looking for something that is primarily black, has no front door, has a 120mm rear fan slot, has a side window (I'm not much into case lighting but I have some things that happen to come with lights so I might as well get a window) and costs $80 or less. A motherboard tray would also be nice if it's possible to get that at this price level. I don't care about the power supply as I will be replacing that anyway.

This case seems to fit most of my needs, but I'm not sure how good the airflow is as it doesn't have the side mounted 80mm fan slot that most cases have.

That case you linked to looks like junk and probably is. Just get a Lian-Li PC-75B. I feel sorry for anyone that doesn't have a Lian-Li case.

Columbia quit spamming with the pc75b. That is a very nice case I actually wantd to pick that one up a long time ago 🙂 You can't go wrong with that case!

That model is way too expensive, well out of the price range I'm looking at.

Do you mean that PC75B or the Centurion one I linked to?

This is priced well but I'm not too hot on the looks and it has a front door. Does anyone else find those really annoying?

To me, the Super Lanboy looks like an aluminum garbage can with a glowing light in it. Gawdy too.

Have you ever owned a Super Lanboy Flier? The Super Lanboy is a nice case and excels in cooling with those 120's. The I/O placement of the SLB is much better than the LL. You can turn the front light off too if you don't want it. I love all the LL owners around here saying every other case is a garbage can. Give us a break guys, fact is, these inexpensive Antecs, especially the SLB, will perform just as well if not better than your expensive LL.....

For the money, this a great deal: http://www.svc.com/cav-t03-wwk-19.html It has a window and no PSU, is tooless, and has a reversible door. Cooler Master workmanship......very good deal.....

That does look a good deal but I really hate those front doors. What's the logic behind those things anyway? A lot of cases out there have them, but I can't think of why you would want to cover up your CD drives on a home computer. Sometimes you can snap the door off but that makes the case look very bad.
