I'm in the market for a new computer case... my current one has had enough service and is way to loud.  I'm looking to spend under $100, but i'm flexible.  Anybody have any good case suggestions?

I've ANTECs in dozens of computers I've built.  Sturdy, great air circulation, great power supply.  Can't beat the price!

Here's a list of all the Antec Cases from NewEgg:

White Mini Version $66.00

look for a case that looks nice (not a fashionable pos that looks cool, but is waaaaay to flashy (ala thermaltake))

you'll want a mobo tray, lots of fan spots, drive bays, compatability to btx (i would), or any other nice feature ytou can think of

checkout lian li cases (expensive) or the beantech igloo 1 if you want features, looks and for cheap

i was personally going to get this one, but then figured i dont need it yet.  ive found it for $75 Canadian, and always comes with 3 fans, and 420W psu in the roomy case.  ive seen nothing but good reviews for it so far.  you might get tired of the case design/lights after a while.
