smokin Whats a good window case for $100?

Im looking at cases for a new p4 build. I want some kinda of tower case with a window, that would look good with blue or green neons. My price range is something like a $100, but id be willing to go over if it was a sweet case. What are your favorites?

The Antec Lanboy is probably the best for your money. Comes with Blue LED power supply fans, too, to get you started on your blue lighting.

The X Dreamer has been a pretty popular window case as of late. Its around 50 at newegg, be aware though you have to change the PSU that comes with the case (Its made by Deer some way or another).

I built a 2.4C P4 system with the Antec LanBoy for a friend a few months ago and I'm never using that case again. The aluminum is very thin and the case is very flimsy. The drive attachment system was sort of weird too...a drive rail on one side and screws on the other. And it didn't have real good cooling characteristics either, the interior of the case would get real warm after only a short period of use...like the exhaust fan couldn't remove the heat fast enough. Had a Antec Blue LED 80mm fan on the back for exhaust and had to install another Antec Blue LED 80mm fan in the front to help with cooling. I didn't like this case at all.

I was thinking of nicer cases, sumthin in the thermaltake range.

The 85 dollar one looks nice to me, but it doesn't come with a PSU....

I do like the look of that one, nice and smoothed off without looking too manky

... Anyone know of any REALLY good retailers that supply such as newgg etc to the UK/EUROPE?
