My dad and I have been thinking about getting a new case for my build (Too little space between the GPU and HDD brackets)
This is my current case. With shipping and taxes, it must be under 100$.

Here is my build:

I'd like good airflow, the case needs to either come with a few good fans or support at least 3 120mm ones. (Of which will be transplanted from my current one), and I'd like it to be silent. If you could, good wire management would be great as well.

EDIT: Also, I'd like to have enough room for a few HDDs and an SSD.
EDIT 2: Oh, and I'd love it if you could get one that has enough space for an 11 inch GPU. (Lengthwise. 10 inches is fine as well.)
EDIT 3: I'd appreciate it if you could also get them from 60$-100$, and not just the highest range. Also, the tallest the case can be is 20 inches.
EDIT 4: Derp, nearly forgot, I live near a Microcenter and my tax rate is about 5% where I live.
EDIT 5: Sorry for the accidental double post.

And it's 20 inches high, 8.1 wide and 20.5 deep, 10 fan mounts, 4 included, built in fan control, 2 front USB ports
Max vid card length = 12.4", 17.8" w/ one of the HD cages removed, look at the interior case shots on newegg

Also since ya picked the "budget" CX600, consider this combo w/ the TX650 V2
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1390808

$195 - $40 MIRs - $25 discount code = $140 for case and PSU.... you budgeted $180 so ya save $40, get a much better case and a much better 9.5 jonnyguru performance rated PSU
