Hi I am looking for a good 'gaming' case I will use with my AMD fx8350 and Sabertooth 990fx mobo..now I know that isn't a popular CPU here but that isn't my issue ha.

So what I would like is a case that has great airflow, a reputable brand, and of course looks awesome :) Im not a big fan of the whole different colored light thing...but a black case w/a nice look to it similar to the Xigmatec Talon http://amzn.to/KtksGb ....something along the lines of this case- I might get this I might not but Id like to explore more options :)

And if someone could link me a good page as to the diff between mini atx, and other atx's? Or just give me a general breakdown...

Please and thanks so much for your help guys...learned a lot from these forums!

How about the Corsair Obsidian 450D, 750D,550D, Cooler Master HAF series(High AirFlow), Fractal Design R4 (I don't think that's under 150 right now, it depends on where you want to buy). However as for the differences, the main difference is size.

I REALLY like the look of the Roswell and the Cooler master HAF X....if anyone can link something similar?? (w/the preferences I had in the original post)....the thing is that there is that I cant find em on sale for less on ebay. Id like a $150 case and find it on ebay for around $80-$100
