Hello, 
I am soon going to be building my first gaming PC and I obviously need a case for it. I would prefer to spend less than $120 on my case. I shouldn't even be paying that much, but hey, it deserves to look nice. After searching around, I just can't seem to find a case that fits my taste just right, except the White Corsair 600T which is out of my price range. I would the case to have most of the following, in no particular order:
Painted interior - This is a deal breaker for me because I want to show off my PC and without a nice interior, it isn't that great.
Side window - It's nice to see the inside from the out, again to show off. I don't want a case if it has a small window near the top and then a huge fan. Ex: NZXT Phantom 410 or HAF 932
Rubber grommets on cable holes - makes the overall look nicer
Good airflow - In most cases I don't this is an issue, but in some it is. Quiet is always better as well.
NO SIDE FANS - I hate the look of a nice side panel only to be ruined by a fan mounting space. ESPECIALLY on side window cases which block your view. The only exception would be in a case the the NZXT Phantom in which the fan mounts are used for style purposes.
Good looks - IMO, less is more. I'm not a big fan off the really funky cases like most by Azza or Raidmax. I like it classy yet artistic. Ex: NZXT Phantom, Corsair 600T or Bitfenix Shinobi
Note: I am not a big fan of the following cases, but if you really love them, please just say so. HAF 912 (bare interior), Corsair Carbide (don't like bulged sides), Antec 300 (too plain and great example of the dreaded side fan)
