ALRIGHT, I am sick of trying to choose a case. I am now turning to the community of Tom's Hardware for help. I want a case for under $100. I would like to to come with 4 fans so I can take advantage of all of the Chassis Fan Connectors on my Motherboard. (With: USB 3.0 and HD Audio ports | I do not care if it is MID tower or a FULL tower... just as long as it is ATX) If it does not come with 4 fans it must be cheap enough so I have money left over so I can buy more fans and put them in the system! :) Extra advice I would love to hear: Do you think I should get a Noctua cpu cooler for overclocking? Is the Motherboard good enough for overclocking? Here is my build as it stand right now: http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3LSNBTBZ0TBVC/ref=cm_wl_rlist_go_o? Thank You! P.S. I know the PSU is not future proof.

I would recommend the Fractal Design Define R4, NZXT Phantom (NZXT Phantom 410 for the mid-tower version), Corsair 500R, or the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2. All of those are excellent cases.

Anyways, if you're willing to use other sites (Newegg, NCIX), then your build will be cheaper.

Also, if you want, you can stick with the Noctua NH-D14. There's nothing really wrong with it other than the fact that it's ugly. I would also consider this heatsink: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/phanteks-cpu-cooler-phtc14pebk
It will perform the same as the Noctua but it looks much better. I wouldn't really suggest a CLC because they have a chance of leak (no matter how slim), are much louder, are more expensive, and will perform only a bit better than...

I do prefer Amazon, and if you have a good case with less than 4 fans I will consider the case.

Hmm, alright. That case might be another good option. As for the cooler, I was scared of the obvious thought that comes to mind when you think of a water cooler "what if it LEAKS!" haha. I will consider taking the (small) risk.
