the average price for a "good" one is anywhere from 90-200 bucks - it all depends if you get just a plain one or one with lots of modable options

i got mine at xoxide but the right side panel which is also the mobo backplate has a lot of strees fractures in it now but it is a decent case i just decided to go back to a steel case instead

to eliminate "stress" fractures (or lessen their impact) use crystal clear tape to layer the mobo tray around the screw holes (cover then entire panel) OR you can use little rubber O rings like gaskets on the screws possibly - you can also use clear epoxy to reinforce the mounting posts for the mobo screws - plus epoxy takes to UV reaktive dyes really well - for some reason it obsorbs color very well
ANYWAY
:S well - i personally cant vouche for any acrylic manufacturers as ive never bought one..... heres a few search results for ya:
