Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

I bought this Coolermaster case recently. I have taken the case out of the box and opened it up and it looks very nice as a gaming case with the side panel window for $40. I haven't built with it, but it looks like it will be easy to work with and fit everything needed. Fifteen year old would like it. I like it and I'm an old man.

Also, this company ships from very near Newegg in SO CA. Quick and out the door. next day if you live in SO. Cal. Refurbished, but there are some deals here.
