Dont really want to spend TOO much on a case, however i want something nice. I already have a psu, (520W OCZ Modstream). Anybody have any ideas on something nice, without a psu included, and that has room for my massive 7700 CU.

Cheers
Matt

Lian-Li PC-7B Plus

I would go this one but put a window in it and the hidden drives mod would look sick
it's 115 so it's right at the top of your budget but you can never go wrong with lian li

Nice case in your range? Thermaltake (yes thermaltake) tsunami. Good case, good price. www.newegg.com

Get a thermaltake or a raidmax x1.

There is never an excuse to get a Thermaltake product, ever. Coolermaster makes some good cases in that price range (some even come with a decent PSU). Look into the Cavalier and Centurion cases, each comes in a few different variations and colors, so there are quite a few options out there.

This is a very, very nice product, if it has half the quality of my MK1 case it should be good, and so much better looking too.

EDIT, Mind you I assumed it might be at least close to the $60.00 Gaming Bomb mk1, it's not though, it's nearly $220.00!!

I just bought a Cooler Master centurion series case for my next project. all i can say is WOW!! its a very friendly case to work on especially with the easilly removable front. the entire front is a mesh metal with a very thin foam layer behind it. makes for a very nice air filter. the only SINGLE disadvantage is the MOBO tray is NOT REMOVABLE!. i'm okay with that tho. theres enough space to work around it. heres a link to the newegg pics.
centurion 5 CAC
i bought mine with the clear side window and to do that it cost $85 and it came with a MC 380w PSU. (i think thatll go in my folding rig soon.) you can get it in a few color flavors too.

the other option was another CM product, this badboy here:
Centurion 530
you can get either one of these with or without the side window.
they both look like theyd wear a tux to a party.
