Case suggestions?
I have a nice system here, but need a better case. When I got the system about two months ago, I got the cheapest ($38) full-tower case from newegg that actually looked decent. It's a Foxconn and it completely sucks. It has no good ventilation in the front despite the two 80mm fans there. There is also no simple way to mod it without destroying the structure of the front. I need a case that will keep my system nice and cool and will not kill me financially. Hopefully, no more than $60 if possible. I've looked at the Chieftec cases and have even built a few systems in them, but don't really like the closed front-panel. Does anyone know where I can get such a case that will meet at least some of my requests? Thanks!

Wow! That was fast! I don't think the material would matter much, but I should mention that my mobo is 12x10.6 so the case needs to be pretty big. Thanks for the suggestions!

i'd go with the mid-ATX chieftec. i have one and it doesn't have the front cover deal. a bit shorter too. i paid around $80 though. you can find a black, silver, and beige style @ newegg.com

implexant- I just checked newegg and can't find a mid-tower chieftec case without the front-cover thing. Do you have a link?

in my experience, shouldn't take more than a week for them to be in stock again. sheesh, it was just a suggestion  Mwave.com carries the same cases, you could check there.
