My sigged rig has sort of out-grown its case...the crappy $20 case it lived in was fine when it was a Athlon II X4, 4GB of RAM, a GTX 460, and a free motherboard, but it just doesn't have enough airflow to keep the GTX 470's cool.
What would be a good case for it? Preferably sub-$100, but willing to go higher if it means a significant difference in quality.
