What is your favorite $100 case right now?

Looking to build a few computers, and need some case ideas. Will need 400 watt plus and not too ugly.

Any ideas?

People in the Hot Deals area are discussing this Coolermaster case at PC Club on sale for $99. Here's a link to the thread. Nice case, but it doesn't have any intake fans - only three exhaust (PSU, top blowhole and rear panel). If I were to buy one I'd cut holes for three side intake fans in the window. Good luck with your search

The Picture doesn't Do it Justice. You can also go to www.xpcases.com and see pics.

I paid $72 Shipped with a power supply included. But I opted and purchased an Antec True Power 330W to go along with it. I must say the case is Pretty Good looking for the price,and is real cool. Has a digital thermometer and stuff right on the front. Folding down CD tray doors, plenty fans and a clear side.
Check it out,I went with Silver and am HAPPY!
Thanks

I'm stuck between 3 cases myself. The CoolMaster seems like an awesome deal for the sale price, but Im worried about air flow. Unless someone can verify that having only two exhaust fans plus the one on the psu is enough, Im not sure If I'd buy it. This chieftec server case is a sure bet, but is kinda large: http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage...23-01.jpg/11-125-223-02.jpg/11-125-223-05.jpg

The X-dreamer also seems like an awesome case for the price, but the quality is probably not as good as the two previously mentioned.

Can anyone give some recommendations?

There are so many variables in making a accurate recommendation on most things. If your in Mexico and UNair-conditioned, I?d suggest something different than if your in Canada or Alaska. One thing that resulted from a NASA study on cooling is that a slight vacuum is preferred as opposed to too much air being pumped into a case. I?m a strong advocate of using the best PSUs around, cut corners elsewhere.

Antec Sonata. It's a tad more than 100, but it uses 120 mm fans so it's very quiet and comes with a silentpower antec 380w. It also uses rubber grommets for hard drives so it's really quiet. It's also a nice black and is small and light. I can't say enough good things about it. The only bad thing I have to say it its cooling ability is kind of poor without a real intake fan, but it's still good.
