questions about colorcase products

I'm about to do a total upgrade of my system, and looking to get a new case, and keep the old one for the spare parts as a backup system of sorts. I had planned on getting a ColorCase NeoClassic I, but based on a couple threads i've read, it seems colorcase isn't too highly regarded around these parts. My questions are these:

1) do all colorcase cases attach with screws on only one side?

2) aside from the aforementioned screw issue, is there any other glaring problems with these cases? (beside the power supply, i'd probably use the one from my pc power & cooling case anyway)

3) what are the experiences of anybody who's owned one of these cases?

4) if this isnt the way to go, what other mid-tower cases can i consider in the $75-150 range?

5) what type of case fans would you guys recommend? and where can i purchase these? (i'm looking for something not too loud, but that still has relatively good cooling power)


thanks in advance

well...as professional as their website looks...anyone who designs cases that look like those is ummm...i dunno?...questionable?...just like a toy. I have no experience whatsoever with them so i could be wrong. i first saw one of those in a lan party...a red millenium...that thing was weird...it was so red it stuck out. i'd get one of this for maybe a system on the side...it'll be fun and interesting...otherwise i'd stay with the boring old beige cases...and if you haven't seen the general concensus around here...go with an antec.
 
yeah i was a bit skeptical myself about a company who makes nothing but colored cases, but it so grabbed my attention that i had to look into it....now that i've eliminated the colorcase from the picture...it comes down to my choice of two: InWin S500 or Antec KS382 (I dont need a fulltower case, nor does my desk have the room to house anything taller than about 20 inches). Anybody use either of these cases? pros and cons? reasons to go with or avoid one or the other? lookin for suggestions.

p.s. 60/80mm case fans...which brand(s) are relatively quiet but provide good cooling?
 
i really should pay more attention, and make better use of the "search" function...i seem to have answered my own questions about the case issue, i think i've decided on the S500....now only if i can figure out what kinda fans to get...
