Recommend a case for me

Hi there. I'm kinda new. I've been looking for a case for my next build and this really seems to be the hardest choice.


My buget Is about $80 for just the case. I'll be getting the PSU seperately. I might be willing to go a bit more if it's really worth it.

I'm not sure if a server case is in that buget, but it would be nice. I want at the very least 5.25" (Is that the right number? The one that isn't 3.5") 4 drive bays.

Simple and stylish. Nothing very flashy, but still sleek (Not bland.)

Black or silver. I'm split 50 / 50

No drive bay door!

A side window would be nice, but isn't required.

Lightweight and cool are also nice. I'm about to move, so it'd be nice, but I don't mind a little heavy lifting every once in a while.

Extras like toolless install, removable mobo tray, and all those neat gizmos are nice, but I don't think that will fit the buget.

Any suggestions would be nice!
 
dealsonic.com had some silver aluminum "server" cases (I think the brand was SkyHawk - pretty nice for only $30. +sh... Mobo drawer, 1.2mm Al, etc. - can't imagine how they have any left at that price.

.bh.
 
Check out the Kingwin KT-424. You can get it in black or silver wnd with or without a window. It is a strong aluminum case and should fit all of your needs. I think Newegg still carries them and you might find them elsewhere as well.
