I was thinkign of buying a new full tower to compliment my watercooling system. Therefore, heat dissipation doesnt matter, because the heat will all be dissipated outside of the case in the reserator. Air flow doesnt matter, either... So, whats a good case for simply functionality, looks, and use/design? Again my price budget is around $100-$125, but less or more is good, i just dont want a crap case.

Thermaltake, Enermax, Lain Li. You may want to check newegg.com for pricing and reviews (resellerratings.com is another good rating site)

I still like my Antec Soho case, it's a brick but thats what I wanted. Plenty of room, very sturdy, looks good, easy to mod, etc...(find me in the case gallery)

go with any lian li that fits you. they are high-quality, and light (made out of aluminum)

What I'd do is buy a cheap full server case.. you know the beige monsters you see old computers in. And use the extra cash saved from getting a cheap one to get modding tools and some paint and mod to taste, fans holes, fan brackets, windows, blowholes. etc. anything you want

Without a doubt, the best case in existence right now
is the Lian Li Industrial Co. PC-65b

Don't settle for less.

I have the InWin q500 fulltower and have had it since 97.
It's a beast but it holds a lot including watercooling and i like the slide
out mobo tray.
