I'm looking for a good ATX computer case. I don't want a full stacker, like a Mid-ATX. Preferably under $100. I don't care about the PSU. Lights and a side window are good, but not necessary. Know any good ones? I really like the Zalman, but I'm not shelling out $XXX for a case that costs more than my motherboard.

Those first two are the two cases I'm looking at for my new build ;) Do you by chance know how well an 8800GTX would fit in the x-cruiser? Because That's the one I'm leaning toward for my build.

An 8800 GTX should be able to fit in there. I have that same case and it rocks. The gauges on the front are really cool. I got the neon and everything.

The best part is the fan on the top. When I play video games for a long period of time (especially scary ones like HL and FEAR my hands sweat. When this happens I just use the fan on the top to dry them off. It helps a lot.

It's cool. I was actually thinking about that one. A case with more flashiness would be better for when I try to sell it though,
