well, here's a really basic, but great quality, case; it should also keep temps pretty cool: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119077

if you want something a bit more flashy, you need to spend more; whats your budget?

Get the PowMax $20 case with the handle and then mod it out. The metal is strong enough to hold up and flexible enough to withstand modding. Plus I mean CMON HANDLE!!!
