I want to upgrade my crappy Micro-ATX Tower to a ATX mid tower, is that possible? Everything in this PC is stock from an Acer PC I bought at best buy. If it is possible, any suggestions in the $50-$100 range? Anything nice, flashy, and unique looking is good :D

Nathan, I live in Canada and was able to pick up the Define R4 a couple of weeks ago from Newegg.ca for $80 plus $15 shipping. Just watch for a sale. I would bet that the Black Friday sales will yield some respectable deals from many of the retailers.
It is a pretty nice case.

Yes its quite possible to move from a micro atx only case to a mix size atx case. Just be sure when you look at a mid size atx case that it specifies that it can house a micro atx form factor motherboard. I would personally recommend the Fractal Design Define R4 if you buy it soon you can get it for the sale price plus use the promo to get another 10 dollars off

yes, it is easier to swtich to a bigger case than switching to a smaller case. worst case is that you will need some extra cables to extend your psu cables for example.
check out bitfenix prodigy, it's still a small case, but it is a nice case nonetheless

Good to know that it is possible, I'll just have to browse around for a case I like now. @bigshootr8, your case is nice, but a tad too expensive for me. After shipping to canada, it would come to over $140.

And @cons29, no offense, but thats possibly the worst case I've ever seen :p

Thats newegg.com, I'm canadian, so change the .com to .ca. The 200R is 100$ after shipping and tax, so it's worth considering. Why do cases have to be so expensive in Canada?

Yea with black friday coming up that isn't a had bad suggestion. Not a problem man keep a eye on cases Corsair makes some good cases to I just really love fractals cases I have a Fractal Define R4. I bought new fans for my cooler but you'll get the idea :p I had quiet edition fans I wanted something a bit more performance centered I bought the Noctua NF-F12's
