In my opinion you should not be cheap when buying a case. It is the only thing you are using all the time. Even when the computer is off, its holding your components together. You have to see it every time you walk into the room, and it something you will have to dust off.

Get something that is nice to work with, pleasing to the eye, and has quick easy-to-remove dust filters. All of those things can be had by spending an extra $40 over what your looking for. Remember you may be stuck with a single case through several builds so make it a good one.
