There has been many threads about this but I am still a bit confused.
I am getting a new case and would like one that is ~$150. I am only using air cooling so a lot of fans is a plus. I would also like filters for dust but it that's not possible it is ok. I don't think there are any nice aluminium cases for this price point but if there are then those would be nice.
Any suggestions would be appreciated! :D :p

If you live near Fry's, they have it for $75 in Friday's ad with no rebates. It should work fine with your setup.

Id consider the cooler master cm690. Has room for 7 fans, its like a antec 900 but less flashy and with more fans. it is around $70.

but no awesome 200 mm fan on top :P

Also the build of the 900 is more open (better airflow) so its better than the cm690

and Yes, all that will fit in the case

Get the Antec 900:

2x12 cm fans in the front
1x12cm fan in the back
1x20cm fan on the top

Room to install a 12cm on the side.

Way more air flow than just the 3 12cm fans on the CM690, the one think that I like about the CM are the sideways mounting hard drive cage.
