Nice Case Around 150$?

Looking to replace my antec 900. Nothing wrong with it, except that I got some poor cable management going on and since I replace parts so frequently, the non-tooless design hurts.

As far as aethetics, black outside and in, and a[strike] side window[/strike]. Also, should be well made with nice quality materials and exceptional cable management

I've been looking at the HAF, but I'd like something a bit less chunky looking (me being picky).

I run a 4870 OC'd with an oc'd phenom 955.

I do own the sentry 2 fan controller, so I'd like something that doesn't cover the controller (or the optical drive)

As far as the budget is concerned, sticking around the 150 margin with shipping included and without mir. 180max if it is super worth it.

Cool case, funky motherboard set up there. The only thing is that I usually have the right side of the case facing a wall, ruining the purpose of that window.

hah

I think my personal preference is pretty much severely limiting all of the other awesome cases...


I think I'll just delete the part of the window in the OP. I don't really mind THAT much, just for the extra show off feature to guests ;)

I have the silverstone ft02 which also features the motherboard being rotated 90 degrees.

The cooling affect of bottom fans, top fans and the mobo rotated 90 degrees is amazing. I recommend this type of design highly.
