All the parts are here and..... nothing fits... I put the Antec 900 on ebay and it only sold for $7.....

Whats the best case for around a 100 dollars? Must fit H100 and have good cable management, tired of the NO cable management on the 900

Corsair 550D($100 on OCN market)
Corsair 400R($75)
Antec 1100
Lian Li K63
Fractal R3
others?

I don't care particularly for the sound atm as I have closed headphones and a fan running every time I use the PC. Thanks!

My personal choice would be to get a Fractal Arc Midi or a Corsair 400R. They are not too flashy (that's a plus in my opinion) but have a lot of features.
The R3 or the 550D would be good choices for a silent build but I think they offer less space for cable management.

Cooler Master 690 ii Advanced is what I'm rocking and I LOVE it! Pretty good cable management and my h100 fits nicely.

I absolutely love this case. Looks great, is BIG, toolless 5'25 and 3'5 bays, nice space for cable management, motherboard backplate with a comfortable cutout for CPU coolers, fan controller, 7 fans (one 230mm and two 200mm)

Enough space for a big CPU cooler, I'm using the Cooler Master V6GT right now, check its specs to compare width with the H100. A small issue you might have with the case, is that depending on where you put the H100, the side 230mm fan might not fit, so I would recommend buying it once you've checked the space. Nevertheless, I find that fan quite ugly, I'd rather make a window mod on that pannel, that looks simply epic (:

Go for this one (;

H100 is a water cooler, the 230mm fan on the side wouldn't even get close to that at all, lol

Oh, i guess you misunderstood me, the H100 is made from the watercooling block + a small rad 240mm. If you plan on puttin this rad on the back of the case, where the 120mm fan is located, with the 4 fans, the 230mm side fan might not fit; I did not mean it for the block (:

Have you choosen yet? I'm eager to know your choice!
