Easily the NZXT Tempest.

Great case, will easily fit SLI/Crossfire and has fantastic cooling, highly recommend.

If you want, the NZXT Tempest is $119 @ Tigerdirect, LINK.

It's the case I'm going to be using when I upgrade my current one. Built a comp for a friend with it and it was great.

I second this, I'd say just save 150 for the 932 but meh for 100 the 922 will do just fine.

It may be a mid tower but it's long enough to fix any GPU

Cut the raidmax and apevia straight away. The HAF has less cooling than the others so scrap that. Out of the good 3 left i think the Coolermaster CM-690 is the best.

i vote for the 690, im actually ordering it, its got a tool less design which is pretty neat too im also adding 4 cooler master fans for $12 for a total of 7 120mm fans

u can also get $10 back with this promo code EMCLWMM23 so its like $60

if u dont like that than i guess the antc 300 illusion and 900 black steel look good too

Putting a vote in for the CM 690. Lots of room, many spots to put fans (2x140mm, 4x120mm, 1x80mm, with three 120's included), and overall aesthetically pleasing.

Yeah, that is probably the best for $100. If you were looking for around $50, then it would be the Antec 300 easy.

To the people recommending 100/150 dollar cases, you seem to be missing the point. The thread asks for "budget cases"! I recommend the Antec 300.

I'd put a vote in for the antec 300 illusion just put my first build in it and it was great to work with! Also don't get the v9 thermaltake I thought of getting it cause it looked like an improved antec 900 though it turns out to be junk if you watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsJJ-MVdnXM

I really like the CM Centurion 590. The Centurion 5 is also good. Antec 300 is really well liked but I like the Centurions.

I like this case.

I have not used it so I don't know how well it cools, but it looks really sharp.
