I'm building a new PC and already have the parts for it. My old PC will serve as my HTPC so I need to purchase a new case. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg as my computers are always very basic and don't require much room or cooling. I do like them quiet and am currently only running a single 120mm fan in my P180. Here's my new setup:
i5-2500k with full ATX Biostar motherboard
Corsair H50 cooler (looking to OC to 4.5 ghz)
96GB Kingston SSD
HIS HD6850
Antec TP750 power supply
DVD-R drive
Nothing more. Not even a platter hard drive. I only play 1 game at a time and will have all my important files on my WHS computer. Thus, I probably don't need a large case with tons of airflow. I stick to one video card and never buy top of the line, as you can see with my 6850 choice. I just upgraded from a GTX260 that I had for 2 years.
I currently have an Antec P180 that I could reuse for the main PC and buy something small for the X4 630 for the HTPC. Or, I could buy something that would be an upgrade from my P180 that doesn't cost a ton. I'd like to keep it around $100. Microcenter sent me a 20% off all cases coupon today and I found one I kind of like. What do you guys think?

$61 for it after rebate at Microcenter.
Any other input is greatly appreciated!
