...when it comes to picking a case? I found this one that cuaght my eye, but can't seem to find anything else about it. Anyone know anything about it?

If that's not worth getting, any recomendations for a case under $100 US? I'm mainly looking for one that has front USB and audio ports. The LED display on the above seemed like a nice feature as well.

For $10 more you can get a Coolermaster case onsale.

Brand matters in the sense of build quality and airflow. Typically you'll see better made cases using all aluminum and 120mm fans. They will also have features such as removable mb tray, tooless drive bays and extra case fans (such as on the side panel and on the top).

Cases are very personal and in most instances don't make a difference but I typically stick to Antec, Lian Li, Coolermaster, Thermaltake and Silverstone.
