Budget Cases with USB3?

Looking to do a new build with Haswell, and wondering if I should pick up an Antec 300 on Newegg for $30 now. It doesn't have USB3.0, which was something I was hoping for.

Any thoughts on whether USB3.0 will be available on decent budget cases like this in this price range?
 
Cheapest 2 x USB 3.0 on NewEgg:

There are a few OK cases for about $40 that only come with 1 USB 3.0 port - I consider that pointless as your mobo header should typically split into 2 connectors.

I recommend choosing one of these Corsairs using the current NewEgg sale - 10% off w/promo code, $10 rebates, and free shipping... although you have to wait for the $10 rebates,

Corsair Carbide 200R $59.99 - 10% and then a $10 rebate

300R $74.99 - 10% and then a $10 rebate

300R windowed $89.99 - 10% and then a $10 rebate

All with 2 x USB3.0 ports on case:

i see the other post mentions the Corsair 200R

that is the one i'd get for budget pricing ... I think it makes the Antec 300 look like a big piece of poo by comparison.
