Recommend me a sexy looking case for 130 bucks

[CrypticBox]

So I wanna build my first computer pretty soon. I've set aside 130 dollars for the case, but I'm having an incredibly hard time deciding on one. At first, I wanted to go with the Silverstone RV03, but the nonstandard design has warranted complaints from even experienced computer builders. Not sure I wanna start with something like that for my first time building. So any other suggestions in the 130 range? Looking for something stylish and preferably with a side window.

STYLISH and SIDE WINDOW, save a little more and get either of these:

I'm a huge fan of NZXT's cases!

If you want a mid tower....the Phantom 410 is nice and has lots a great features. (There's also a Full Tower version of it).

If you need a full tower, based on my experience, I'd highly recommend the Switch 810...it's particularly a great case for water cooling.

If you can invest a bit more money, the NZXT Switch 810 is one sexy beast :lol:

If you don't mind for a side window, I personally find the Corsair Obsidian 550D to be one hell of a sexy/elegant case.

Fractal Design makes several elegant cases for ~100; check out the Define R4 since its their most recent update.

BitFenix is a little on the cheaper side, but they're decent quality and have some great features and styling. Check out the Colossus, Raider and Shinobi.

Fractal Design does make nice cases, but the fan grills on them just KILL the elegant factor for me. I know I'm being anal, but I personally love how I could just cover up the fan grills that I'm not using so they're not visible.

This is probably me being a Corsair Fanboy, but those cases just aren't attractive to me :lol:

Indeed, the Zalman z11 Plus is one of the best cases for under $100... I recently ordered this product for my next build.
