Was looking at this because it's on sale: http://ncix.ca/products/?sku=53537&vpn=DEFINE%2DR3%2DBLACK&manufacture=Fractal%20Design#CustomerReviews

But it goes off sale the 12th, so it should go off any moment now. I can't buy it right now online, but I can go to the store, but it's obviously too late for that. I don't like the look of the case per se, but it has great build quality.

I was also looking at: http://ncix.ca/products/?sku=38996&vpn=RC%2D922M%2DKKN1%2DGP&manufacture=COOLERMASTER

This case has a really nice exterior, but the interior looks bad with the silver metal.

Here too:http://ncix.ca/products/?sku=54279&vpn=DF%2D30&manufacture=Antec#CustomerReviews

But I heard the build design is really cheap and flimsy.

The case needs good airflow to keep my parts cool, has to have cable management, and look nice.

Check out the Corsair Obsidian 650D:

This is the absolite best case you can get for your money, it's great looking, not too expensive, and has amazing cable management options. It might be slightly over your budget, but trust me, it's worth it.

The first link was actually supposed to be this one http://ncix.ca/products/?sku=54712&vpn=CC600T&manufacture=Corsair It's a lot cheaper and still Corsair. I'll look into that one you posted more, thanks.

OK I really like everything about that case you posted. Thing is it's a bit expensive. I think I'm getting that one though.

I'd honestly get the RV02-E sooner than that Corsair, to be honest. Much better airflow for your components.

I was looking at that one too. I thought there were problems with fitting in a graphics card in some slots. Also it's a bit more expensive and large. This corsair one also ranks pretty good for airflow. I still look into that one more, thanks for the response.

Well, I can acknowledge the fact that it is pretty large, but I didn't have any problems with my RV02 when installing my video cards. Also, the fans aren't your typical ones you find in a regular case, as these have a special grill design to direct airflow directly to components. You can look up the 180mm fan. It's the AP181, and it has three of them on the bottom of the case.

Yes, it is a little expensive. But it's honestly well worth the price difference, imo.

I got the Corsair 600T at a good price. I'm so happy I did, the quality in everything of this case is outstanding. This is the last case I feel I will ever have to buy. Super easy to open and clean which makes things much less stressful, and it's looks really classy with the white lights (it doesn't look like a transformers robot). Great cable management and front input position. Only flaw for me is that it's a bit big which wont be good for college.  That's without the super quiet CPU fan I installed today.
