I am not finding it easy to discover which cases are designed with at least 2 USB ports on the front in mind. I am looking for a mid-tower case with power supply in the US$50 ~ US$100 range.

Your recommendations are appreciated.
 
A mid-tower in your price range with 2 USB ports (and audio ports) in the front is the Simbadda C550. Do a search via google and you'll turn up a bunch of places online that feature it.

Another option that I went with for my Enlight 7237: a 5-port USB hub that fits in a 3.5-inch bay. I got mine from pcmods.
 
Take a look at FrontX.com. If you don't mind taking up a 5.25 bay then it might be a good idea. It also brings up all your sound card plugs to the front which is very handy for me. (Joystick in particular)
 
If your looking for a real nice case that will keep your temps down, go for one of the Lian Li cases. You can even get a window already added to it for your viewing pleasure.

Lian Li cases are far too expensive for his price range.
 
If you have a Fry's near you, I just bought a case there that fits the bill perfectly. It is an Arctic Silver colored Future Power case w/front usb ports, 350 watt PS and two case fans included. All this for $69.00. Now mind you I'm not a big fan of using cheapo Power Supplies so there is a good chance I will egay the one included but the case is worth it anyway. It has a nice side blowhole already cut with a fan mounted in it. Plus there is an extra 60mm fan for the rear of the case.
I'll test the PS to see how it does before selling it but as I said, it is worth a look if you have a Fry's near you.
