Default Need Case

I am looking for a case probably under $140. I already have a decent psu and I don't need another. I have a Corsair Nautilus 500 and that is sitting on top of my case right now as I have no where else to put it, so if I buy a new case I would like to still be able to keep it there, but if that isn't possible I can find somewhere else to put it.

I would go with the Thermaltake Armor:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811133154

or the

Gigabyte 3D Aurora
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811233002

I know the Thermaltake Armor is ten dollars more than what you requested, but with the 25 dollar mail-in rebate, it's well worth it, very nice case, most people perfer it around here, I'm sure there is a nice Lian-Li, but I don't know much about that series, and if it offers anything for water cooling.

No one has recommended the P180B either! It's a nice and quiet case.

Well I am really interested in the Antec Nine-Hundred and CompUSA has it for $80 after rebates, so what are your opinions on that case? I want a case that looks nice and also is roomy, the Lian-Li cases seem to be cramped and not stylish what is so good about them?

It's a very nice case. With 240mm of intake, 200mm of top exhaust, and 120mm of rear exhaust that'll keep your case really cool. If you get a Zalman 9700-LED or a Tuniq Tower 120 the air will flow directly over your CPU, cooling it down very nicely. Plus, it's Antec. You know quality comes first.

How about an Ultra Aluminus for $20 after Mail-In-Rebate?

I have a case similar to the Ultra Aluminus and I want something different. My cousin also has the Aluminus is black and it shows dust easily. I think I am going to go with the Antec Nine Hundred as I have heard many good things about it. If anyone has an opinion on it let me now
