Hey i was wondering what is the best case for under 75 dollars in your opinion. It's only requirements are atx motherboard compatible and enough room for a 7850. I'm looking for a case for a build i'm doing.

Bonuses: (Most to least important)
USB 3.0 x 2
Extra fans (at least one intake)
Cable management
rubber grommets on the cable manage spots
side facing hdd cages
removable hdd cages

^None of the above is necessary

I was looking at the antec 300 two but does it provide enough cable management?
Also glad to see any other cases :) remember the bonuses are just that and i can survive %100 without them

I have the original 300, my 2500k should be here Thursday and I'll be cracking my case to replace my 2100. I'll take pics of the inside of it before I mount everything up. Even the Three Hundred is great for cable management, as long as you put some effort into it. I have 3 HDD, 2 optical, an NZXT fan controller and dual 5770s and I was still able to make it look really clean I think!! The 302 is supposed to improve upon this in quite a nice way (I'll find out since the 302 and a new GPU are next month's purchase). You will not be disappointed in the 302 (maybe I should be a marketer for Antec, except I hate their PSUs, hehe)

I'd love to see some pics of your cable management, i haven't been able to do behind board cable management yet because my friends don't see benefits of a boxy looking case when they can get a "cool" looking case for only 30 dollars. :( end up zipping extra cables to the bottom of hdd cage :p

Mine isn't behind mobo either, since it's only the 300, it doesn't have any under mobo, but it has a nice little place to tuck cables by the drive bays (on the 'back' side). The 302 is supposed to have better management. So don't get your hopes up on mine looking supreme, but I think I did a good job with what I had :)

I don't think anyone would blame you :p I was also pleasantly suprised how big it was.
