Looking for a new case but I don't know what to get...any ideas? $200 probably my budget but looking to spend closer to $100.

I would spend the extra 30 and get the HAF X if I were you.
HAF 932 is a great choice, if you can spare the cash I'd pony up for the ATCS. The Silverstone RV02 is also a great buy for it's level of performance.
This one is also quite sexy but it looks like a tighter fit inside. Am I right?
NZXT Phantom
Is it as cheaply made as some of the reviews claim?
Maybe poor word choice on my part. Just read a few reviews about it having chipped paint/bent screws out of the box and feeling like cheap plastic. I'm sure it's still a great case but I want something really sturdy. I'm like 90% sure I want the Corsair 600T now though.
Thanks for the info. Now I think it might be a better fit for me than the HAF, but I've still got my eye on the Corsair.
Personally, I would have opted for the white Corsair 600T than the NZXT Phantom. Before I bought the NZXT Phantom, my choices for cases were the NZXT Phantom White, or Red... and the Black Corsair 600T. Too bad the white one didn't come out, otherwise I would have chose that instead.
Well as long as your not afraid of a little work grab a haf 912. Then tape off everything thats black & hit the rest with flat black spray paint. Then order a pair of CM 200mm LED fans (blue or red available from newegg & green is also available from ebay).. Then you end up with a good sized case that has excellent cooling & a great look.
Here is the interior of my haf 912.. I have 200mm fans coming for it, but I wanted a stealth look so I acquired a couple of no led black fans.
The only advantage I can really see to some of the much much more expensive cases above is how many HDD they can hold with really long cards. Well as you can see I dont ahve that long of a card yet (though thats going to change) & I only have 2x 2.5" drives in my rig so I dont need anything else.
