Hey guys, Im building a gaming rig for my dad as a surprise before I leave for the Army and Im having trouble finding a good case.... I have the NZXT Tempest for my rig with Scyth ULTRA KRAZE fans and it stays COOL....

I dont want to get him the same exact case but I can't really find any good ones around $100 or so that have dust filters.... Dust filters are a MUST and a budget of around $130max with atleast as much room as my tempest.

air vents/dust filter on the bottom for the PSU, all fans are mounted on rubber washers to reduce noise.

Wow Im no case expert but Lian Li cases are usually way more expensive than that. I didnt even know they had cases in the ~$100 range. Unless someone knows something specifically wrong with that model I would go for it.

Edit: Ok im a dummy.......after looking at Newegg I see quite a few cheaper cases.
