I am building a pc and I need help looking for a good case with decent build quality, good air flow, decent cable management, and just all around a decent starter case. The motherboard I have is the msi h81m-p33, so i would like it to be able to fit inside the case without having to worry about the wires not reaching if the case is a mid tower atx. Optional features are usb 3.0, side window, but no psu included. I would like to stay under $60, but if it is worth it, I can spend a bit more.

I forgot to mention I am not using MIR and I am only getting parts from amazon and newegg. Both of them are a bit over $70 which is more than i wanted to spend, but they look pretty good to me. If you have any more recommendations please let me know, i have a pretty big list of ideas for a case.

Hey,

*When you use PCPARTPICKER, make sure to FILTER by things you want such as:

1) USB3 front
2) Side window (yes or no?)
3) price (avoid rebate if possible)
4) 1x5.25" bay (for DVD burner) if needed

5) FANS-> you have to go to the site or find a review, but you should get one with at least two fans, though you may have one already (top exhaust, front intake). I recommend a front intake even if it's just to cool a hard drive (my dad has no graphics card and otherwise doesn't need the cooling). Some are PWM and variable. Do NOT get one with noisy fans you can't control. May be hard to find that info.

Look at user comments as well, though note some of Amazon's have a mix of different products (may be different Asus monitors, or BluRay versions of DVD movies under the same part).

My top choice was the CM200 case in the above video link.

Here's the website as well: http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mini-tower/n200/

It's a fine case, and the price is good since your budget is pretty specific.

If not clear, there are TWO fans pre-installed (front and top/rear). If you get a good graphics card you can add a suitable 12cm card to the side as intake to blow air over the card (I'd probably just get a non-variable fan for that that is 25dB or less... variable fans are sometimes a hassle to setup right).

It's a micro-ATX case so it does support your motherboard, but isn't compatible with ATX if you wanted to get a larger motherboard later. You probably don't care about that.
