What's the best bargain case for cooling/light to medium modding? I'm fairly new to case modding, and i really need a new case with better airflow that looks really cool and can take a bit of newbie modding abuse.

Antec SLK3700. About 50 bucks. Or a big Hydraulic case from Directron.

Here r my 0.00002 cents:
1) http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-144-038&catalog=7&depa=1
Nice case already w/PSU and some fans (there r more colors available for this case)
2) http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-156-132&catalog=7&depa=1
3) http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-145-017&catalog=7&depa=1 But I'm not sure on the airflow here.
4) http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-125-262&catalog=7&depa=1 Get PSU and price almost similar to the 1st one :)

I'm with the Aspire ATXA2XPW-BL/420 :D. Those r just some.. maybe even ugly ones.

Personally, I can't see spending $75 on a fancy case, especially when you're planning on modding it, you can mod it to your own specs.

Cheap cases are great to mod on.. I consider it more of a challenge ;)

I have been looking at this one to mod. It has a lot of empty space on it to allow your imagination to run wild.
