I'm looking for something that'll fit everything in my build (290mm VGA/159mm CPU cooler) for the best value at the lowest price (<$100, ~$40 target).
Attached is my build list from PC part picker
Not seen in the list but that will be included are two additional 3.5" HDDs.

I would appreciate seeing more cases and opinions. Thank you.
■ I prefer a quiet case. Fans are great--just not loud ones.
■ I don't care about the build look so long as it's not going to keep me awake with very bright LEDs while it's on. Otherwise, some light is fine.
■ Seeing as how I'll have a i5-6600K in the system, cooling and airflow will be prioritized.
■ Build quality in terms of flimsiness isn't important so long as I can glue back feet or the case doesn't short circuit the mobo nor damage the system in any way.
■ 290mm VGA and 159mm CPU cooler clearance required.
■ Cable management isn't important, but since it may affect air flow I'll leave it to your discretion.
■ I'm interested in portability. If there's an especially easy to carry case, I'd like to see it even if it sacrifices other features. As long as it can carry the parts, it's fine.
■ Bottom mounting PSU with bottom filters preferred, but not necessary.
■ I'll be fitting two 3.5" HDD, and one 2.5" SSD. The use of a converter bracket is acceptable. I would like the space to add another 2.5" SSD in the future though.
