Hey guys. I'm sick and tired of looking at the same beige midtower with 0 good looks to it, so I'm looking for a new case. I don't really want to spend more than 75 dollars. If you guys could help me pick one out, that would be great. Thanks.

Yeah... Nothing that really appealed to me that much.. Well most of them did, but they were way over my buget. Any other suggestions? Thanks:D
75 bucks won't get you a really neat looking case - have you considered modding the old one?

There is no way that I could mod this thing to make it look anywhere near decent. I would do better leaving it alone. I looked at newegg and I could get a Chieftec dragon with side window (no PSU) + shipping for 75 bucks. What do you guys think about that. Do you guys have any idea how to mod that case. I also do not want to change drives, but my drives are white. Should I paint them or do I really have to get drives that match that case? Thanks you guys..

That's a good case. Same as the Antec, but without as many accessories. You can use a vinyl dye on the drive bezels to get a color that matches / looks good with the new case.

Hey you might consider looking at virtual-hideout.net they have a listing of over 50 different sites most sell cases and if you do head over to the case-mod link they have a bunch of cases that look good under $70
