I'm loooking for a new case. right now i have a Antec Sonata (1), Its a great case but I want to give it to my dad.

Here's what I'm looking for:

All Aluminum, bottom mounted power supply, 120mm fans, no stupid doors or lights, under $200.

I love the new silvertone TJ-09 and was going to buy it but I cannot shell out that kind of cash for a case, just seems wrong.

Also the case has to work with my antec phantom 500 (little longer than normal PSU), and Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe (i think it cannot be upside down because of the cooling pipes...not sure?)

Any Ideas or should I just save more to pick up the TJ09
 
This may be a long shot, but if you live in the SF Bay area, Fry's has the P180 on sale for $80 after rebated.

best case for that price is coolermaster stacker STC-T01
it hold 3 to 6 120mm fans
no lights
it has 2 power supply holders, 1 at top, 1 at bottom
it even has grilled/vented bottom to keep the ventelation going.
its big though....very big....and very though.....i weight 200 pounds and i sat on it. no joke
its the most functional case in my opinion and yeah air flow is very very very good.
here is the link. its 149 bux with free shipping. not flashy but very very very very big and functional, good for a hardcore modder or maybe someone who needs good airflow and runs a lot of pheriphals, and yeah u cant go wrong with DUAL power supply support.
