Looking for ATX standard, decent cooling,Good video card clearance, wire routing and... AIR Filters.

gonna do a 1100T Gaming rig, Starting off with HIS IceQ X Turbo H679QNT1G2M Radeon HD 6790 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 as my Video card. Really i dont mind if its a mid or full tower just as long as it has air filters and video card clearance for future updates.

Anyone have any suggustions? Im coming from an Antec 300 and really the cheaper the better, I just want some nice features.

Ive looked a bit on newegg, but i wish air filters was a search option.

The Silverstone RV02 fits your needs perfectly.. However, its a bit over your budget (on newegg).. But there's the RV03 -

Almost similar to the RV02, the RV03 is a full tower case and comes with two AP 181 fans as opposed to the three available with the RV02.. Shouldn't matter much though.. The improvements over the RV02 are evident and it basically carries a full spec.. Awesome air cooling and also has easy to clean dust filters.. Definitely recommended..

Finding a case that meets your requirements and costs less than $200.00 is pretty easy. For about $100.00 you could get one of the Lian Li / Lancool Dragon Lord pc cases.

The cases are available in several variations:

Currently available at newegg.com. Prices range between $69.99 and $129.99. Shipping is free:

I have the PC-K60WB with the narrow side panel window which was a special offer over at Frozen CPU:

I like the narrow side window because it hides that rear of the drive bays. Ventilation, airflow, and cooling are excellent.

Technical reviews of the Dragon Lord series are very favorable.
