Hi everyone,

I have finalized my build (thanks to multiple folks on here thus far) but I'm waffling on which case to go with. I will be headed to Microcenter tomorrow, so I can even pick one up in person if the deal is right. Can anyone suggest a couple of good value cases for me to consider? Here is the build:

All I am looking for in a case is that it will fit the components listed and has at least one USB 3.0 on the front. I dont need lighting, etc, just functionality. The Antec Nine hundred that I have in my parts list seems like a good value, but Im not sure if I am still overpaying for stuff I dont need? I welcome all suggestions and thanks!
Of course the RAM went OOS this morning... lol

I'd definitely avoid the Antec Nine Hundred, it's a solid case but it's pretty antiquated by modern standards. And at that price, it's not like it's even a good budget buy.

Cases are subjective, so anyone saying "buy this one" is a bit stupid really. It depends what you are looking for and how much you want to spend. Assuming the $65 was around what you had in mind, and you are looking for basically a functional black tower, here are a few options-
Bitfenix Shinobi
Coolermaster HAF 922
Corsair 300R, 330R, 400R
Fractal Design Arc Midi
Rosewill Blackhawk
All pretty popular, all reasonably within that price bracket.
