Case: Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower Case ($99.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $99.99

Solid case, great cable management, has sound proofing, looks nice and is very flexible on fan positioning and is easy to get to and clean out the air filters. It is also available in white or titanium colors

I have always purchased a case for functionality over "beauty" - air flow, cable management, room for components are my primary factors. You can make any case "look cool" with a few mods to the case - like LED Fans, LED strips, painting accents on the case, etc....LEDs make a dramatic statement for most builds....here are a few of my favorites:

I have seen that in many builds it is a decent case also, not the best but it has good looks and air flow

actually i dont care how the case looks like but when i showed my dad that i wanted to buy the r4 he said that it looked easy and should be cehaper. I know its a good case adn its the nr 1 case i want, really stily and cool. VERY good cooling according to others. It fits prefect with my room (everything is white) if only i could find it a little cheaper.
