Hey guys. I'm doing a gaming build and looking at a case. I'm a noob to this stuff so be gentle! My build so far is an i5-2500k, 850 watt PSU, an ASRock mobo, and either a GTX 560 or 570, and I WILL SLI them at some point, and I've been told that space can be an issue with two big GPUs.

As far as what I want from the case, cheaper is better, I want to spend at most under $100. I also don't mind LEDs or a side-viewing panel, but the lights MUST be able to be turned off, so I can watch movies or play games without my case flashing at me all the time. Size doesn't really matter, I know I'll have more options with a mid-tower, but I like the longevity factor and size of the fulls. I'm sure there's stuff that I should mention that I haven't, but like I said I'm new to this stuff, this is my first build! Thanks for the advice guys, look forward to discussing this with you all.

You could also look at something like the NZXT Phantom, but I haven't used one and can't suggest either way on it. Not my style.
