another nice, inexpensive Rosewill case is the R102:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147111

its $29.99 w/ $5 shipping, compared to $39.99 with $5 shipping.

the major difference is that the R102 can take 2 120mm fans, instead of coming iwth a 120 front and 80 back. take the R102, and add a $7.99 blue LED Rosewill fan, and its slightly cheaper ( $38 vs $40, before shipping) than the ranger with a bit better cooling.
