I guess Mid-tower since I'm not using liquid cooling, but I want to have a little extra room incase I want to upgrade. My price range is under 200.

Actually now that I think about it I have barely any idea of what I want for a case. I'm building a gaming computer with air cooling only and just want to have a little bit of extra space for upgrades. Plus I would prefer if it had a hinged door on the side and isn't an eyesore (the visual appearance doesn't really matter as quality is more important but the nicer looking the better.)
