Good looking sub-$80 case??

[touser]

Hi all, i am looking for a good looking mid-tower case that is less then $80. Do they even exist? If anyone knows of any please tell, the cheaper the better as long as it looks good/OK :). Thanks in advance!

This is a VERY mod-friendly case, especially for $26.

Good stock cooling options for 5 fans built-in. Comes with a 300w PSU for only $49.

Also available with a silver front...

This case is lovely, but the cooling would have to be modded right out of the box in order to be effective. $55

All of the "made for looks" cases are simply that. They either have crappy cooling, or they're built with extremely cheap and flimsy workmanship. The above mentioned cases are easy to upgrade and come with nice cooling options.

Good call. Oh well, I guess I'm taking my chances on ordering this Chieftec for $57 shipped. Can't recommend doing business with BuyXtremeGear.com yet since this is only my first purchase from them.

if you do get a chieftec case, make sure you dont get one of those crappy a$$ Deer powersupplies......instead buy a antec, enermax, or sparkles...
