WTB: Big, Beautiful Case

[Cyberlore]

I've outgrown my current case and being a poor college kid, I'm looking for a new one to expand into for as little as possible. Of course it has to be both aesthetically pleasing and utilitarian. Looking for 10 bay case, probably not black as my components are white, but going to town with a little black rustolem and they'll be fine. Airflow is a must, so it needs to have room for an intake fan in the front, couple in the rear. Any suggestions where to look? I'm hoping for a real steal (as everyone always does I realize). I'm an ebay addict but came up dry there.

I love my Lian-Li but I also have a similar case that cost 200$ less and it even came with a usable p/s---shipping on cases suck, got a local computer show/fair happening near you???

Check Newegg---Chieftec cases are nice, aluminum, window, w/ps or without---realistic shipping...

Thanks for the quick replies. I already have a power supply which is screwing me over (most of the good deals include ps).
I'm really hoping to spend no more than $40-$50. Browsing your suggestings right now, then back my my assembly homework

I think he wants cheaper guys.

Thanks airman. Same case there w/o ps is $62. The chieftecs, as well as the antecs and all the other alienware-ish rippoffs are great cases and pretty much exactly what I'm looking for...but a little too pricey for me.
