The Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced is out and available at newegg, not sure if the newegg price is a mistake or not but if it isn't then this is a very affordable and not half bad looking case from CM.

you know, if people are so worried about airflow in this case, they could always install a 200mm fan in the front :p (yes and get rid of all the drive cages, but for $50 who cares if you trash it while modding!)
 
Not bad, especially at $50 I think I may get it over my planned Prodigy (or, get the Elite 120 and then upgrade later to a Prodigy). :)
 
This will be my first mini PC case, I watch it closely since CES, and it is almost the perfect case for my goals. (With some modding it will be perfect)

Prodig is not good for me, Lian Li ones neither. I was thinking about Shuttles too, because I like them, but the special psu is not my taste.
This CM can handle even biggest VGAs, like 7990 or 690 or previous beasts, Full modular PSU and Corsair H60/80 with some modding.
My plan is a gaming rig with i7 3770k, HD 7970, 16GB memory, HDD+SSD Corsair AX 650 PSU and external DVD -blue-ray combo. But it will take time until I get money for it. I'm waiting for some decent AMD motherboards as well, but I think I will stick with Ivy Bridge...
 
Again, another case made absurdly large by the inclusion of an optical drive... WTF. It's 2012, people...

I might just get this so I can give it a haircut down to the top of the vid card, get rid of that absurd front panel and rotate the drive cage on its side (5 in 3 style). (Oh, and toss the PSU extender).

i would build this as a gaming HTPC so i would need a Blu-Ray drive and that optical slot is useful for me.
