What would be a good mid-sized Atx case under $100. It should have a clear window (with no screws to fix the window and no fan mounts on it) and at least four fans visible from the outside. It should match a red and black color scheme and, if possible, come with some red led fans. Like the Corsair 230t (Without the tinted window) or the Bitfenix ronin. Thanks!
A case fitting my need?

Case: NZXT H440 (Red/Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($119.99 @ NCIX US)
Case: Enermax ECA3280A-BR ATX Mid Tower Case ($77.98 @ Newegg)
Of course there are more than a few cases that are pure black and transparent windows instead of black/red. I realize you asked for under $100, but the NZXT case is just over, a great case, and just looks.. well... um... yeah lol

Oh, I forgot to say: I'm in Canada, so the price aren't the same. The ostrog is 85$, and the H440 is 120$.
When I say "a red and black color scheme", I just don't want other colors. If it is all black, grey, white it's fine.
I really just want a huge clear window and visible fans.
Is the enermax's window clear? (It looks tinted)
On the H440, we don't see the fans from the exterior.
ps: sorry for my bad english, I speak french.
thanks!

I have the bitfenix ronin and i do really like it 
you could have three fans showing depending on your motherboard and the fourth you should be able to see the led glow through the front case so if its the lights you want more showing than the fans you will have 4 showing. the fans arent led the ones it comes with but are very quiet. have you thought about getting led stripes? you can put them anywhere you want in your case and you can get led stripes which you can control the colour on them

Most cases, regardless of color, you will not 'see' all the fans. The 2 in front are buried by the front grill and HDD cages, 2 up top are hidden by the lid or frame unless extended by a radiator, even better a push/pull setup. Any bottom mount fans are behind the non windowed part of the side panel. At best usually the only fans easily visible through most case windows is the air cooler fans and exhaust.
It is possible, with a full side window, like the h440 mentioned, to have 4 fans visible, apart from the 2 on the air cooler, by using 25mm fan shrouds to actually extend the fans into a more centralized viewing area, or use liquid cooling in push/pull. Additionly you could mount a fan on the HDD/optical cage which some cases come with mounts for.
Barring that, you could always find a case you really like, and make a window large enough to visibly show all your fans, there are plenty of vids on YouTube to show how this is done, properly.
