Recommendations for a new case between $100-$150?

[Paktu]

I'm in the market for a new case between $100-$150. What is most important to me is that the case has great ventilation and a good dust filter. I'd prefer to get a case with a window and a temp sensor, but that is not a necessity. It would also be a big plus if the case has an included PSU, but only if it's actually better than my current 380 watt TruePower. Suggestions?

Get an Antec Super Lanboy from CompUSA this week for $40 AR and buy a $4 filter for the front 120mm fan. Then sell off your 380True and pick up a very good PSU. You will have a light case with supreme cooling (2x120mm), a window, and a premium PSU with all kinds of power for about the same price range you are looking at....just my $0.02....

I second the Super Lanboy - it's an excellent case.

In your price range I really like this Lian-Li. No power supply but everything else you want.

Provisions for 2 120m/m fans, 80m/m blow hole fan...Effective filter...Lian-Li build quality...Window...Nice case.

I like the Antec P160, actually considering picking one up.

mail in rebates suck, I like that Lian-Li. I'm going from a shuttle to ATX setup and have been looking around. Can't go wrong with 120mm fans and a window for that price. I looked at the Antec P160, good reviews bu still looks kinda cheap and plasticy.

::edit:: Don't want to hijack but didn't think this was new thread worthy. Will a Panaflo 120X38 mm fit in the front fan space in the Lian-Li PC7B or is 38mm too deep?

Start with the Silverstone Berserker and you'll have plenty left over to add the touches you want.
