$200?? That's a lot. Do you have any idea how big a full tower is? Look at the measurements, then cut some cardboard to that size and put it where you plan to put your PC. It's huge. You can easily fir that into a mid-tower case. Just watch out for clearance on your cooler.


In general the sweet spot for towers is around $120 to at most $150. After that it gets very expensive for very little extra.
