Case for around 50 (raidmax?)

[yahiax]

so basically am done w/ my build and just need a case to go with it. my budget for the case is around $50. i admit i am a sucker for good looking cases and tend to not even check out the ugly ones. been looking at raimax tornado, atlas ,and quantum. are those good cases or just for show. i have seen many good reviews on NZXT GAMMA but its just so damn ugly looking to me. anyway am open to suggestions and plz let me know what u think of raidmax.

case needs to fit ATX psu, asrock z77 MOBO, and 7850 video card. will be adding an extra cooler on cpu later on.

thanks.

Raidmax makes horrible quality products. This unfortuenatly includes their Cases. Now, have you considered the following?

These will outperform the Raidmax in terms of cooling, durability, and expansion.
Cougar Solution
NZXT Tempest 210
NZXT Source 220
Antec One
Antec 300
Cooler Master HAF 912
Bitfenix Outlaw

the thing that worries me about cases like Cooler Master HAF 912 is that its right up on my limit ($ wise) and only comes w/ 2 fans. so is that enough of an air flow? also what do u think of

am also a sucker for nice led fans and led effects. so is there a case with a nice flow that has that raidmax style. also this is my first build.

just found this. please tell me its a good case. APEVIA X-Trooper "Window version comes with one 200mm LED fan and four 120mm fans"seems to have very good air flow and looks awesome.

Seems...but it's made by Apevia. Stop being a sucker for LED's...the outlaw will outperform this.
