Suggestions for Best Case <$150???

[Nuocmam]

Building a new system, and need a good case to house it in. Any suggestions out there?

I've read Thermaltake's V1000A was a good case but also read a few bad things such as AGP installation horrors. I was leaning at first towards the Lian Li PC65, but I found the case to be a bit "space limited." It seemed a bit difficult to maneuver within the case, especially with all the cables initially hanging around.

Anybody got any suggestions or comments on Antec/Chieftec/Chenming alienware look-alike cases, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

the Lian Li PC65 would actually work, just clean up your wires and u can hide the ones u dont use behind the mobo

heres an example (not an lian li though)
Clean case

And them chieftecs are great, I would suggest one, lots of room, etc. And they are cheap!

^^^that case is a coolermaster atc-2xx(think they're calling it 'Praetorian' or some such nowadays) of some type, I've got two of them, built like tanks. They're not cheap, though.
