Cheap and well ventilated case

[hellnoire]

So I'm looking for a case that's cheap and well ventilated, since my current one does not support any fans (VERY poor design). I'm looking at about $100 USD, and thinking if I can find it local, great.

It has to support ATX, but aside from that, go wild.

Antec 300 Illusion (my case)

Illusion has extra fans. Might be a squeeze for a very long GPU. Wide enough for clearance with my Hyper 212+ CPU cooler. Not gaudy, but excellent airflow.

Not sure who has best prices in CA?

If want bigger, coolermaster HAF is well regarded

Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced

This is the case my nephew BigGuy is thinking about. I considered it for my build also, but decided to go with the Haf X because I wanted a full tower.

Coolermaster CM 690 II advanced is a case i would consider (Prakash has one )and would have bought if it had been released before the Cosmos i have now, i have seen a couple of videos for the case and it's all good news, i know pixmania where even offering one with a psu installed, although i would have sold the psu myself.... Antec are a bit loud from the reviews i read as i did quite a bit of research before opting for the one i got and i have seen the Antec cases been sold cheap online...

Cooler Master 690 II Advanced. I really like this case. The Haf X my Uncle Bear has is aweseome, but I don't have the space to put a full tower in my room.

Looked at this one on Overclocked 3 D BigGuy and more than enough to meet your needs and have a really powerfull pc... plus it is a very stylish case..... The tower i have needs alot of space as you mentioned plus the weight... CM make great products as i have a couple of them.....the case the cooler and psu.

I am thinking about a Coolermster PSU myself Jay, but will see what else there is before I decide.

I've seen your room Buddy and I agree that a mid tower would be more appropriate!

Just a warning to you both.

They call it a midtower, but it certainly is a biggie. It's larger then my server PC, which is in a BTX case, as the mobo is BTX...

Have two BTX cases here Dell 9200 and XPS 410 for me they are a disaster regarding dust, how does the server case work for you? It is a good idea as hellnoire mentioned to keep an eye on the space you have, despite the cosmos size it's really easy to work on, so it's well worth mentioning practicalities when purchasing a new case.
