Don't really have any directory go on. The following are what I'm after:

1) $100 tops
2) Mini or Mid-Tower
3) horizontal (to the front) HDD positioning
4) Space for fan in front of HDD cage
5) screwless HDD mounting
6) Prefer no front door, but will consider a doored unit

I don't need a PSU, I have one I will move from my current case into this one, but if there is something at the $100 or under range that comes with a worthwhile PSU, I'll look at those as well.
 
Look no further than this

^ it is similar to the PC-61 that someone posted a few posts up but has a better looking (IMO anyway) stylized front panel. (the only difference is the HD rack is smaller and the 120 mm fan exhaust on this one)

Also dont be fooled by the dullness of the pics on Newegg, it truly is gorgeous when you see it in person. I own one; right now it encases my old AMD rig.
 
Thanks for the links. The Lian Li's are the ones I like the most out of all the ones mentioned. A co-worker has a Coolermaster case similar to the Centurion's and it's not bad. I have to ask him what he thinks again. Are the Lian Li cases quiet?

I see all of these had traditional HDD mounting instead of perpendicular. I prefer the perpendicular ones more, any reason most of these don't have that style?

What about the Antec Sonata II? I've looked at it a couple times in Comp USA and it seems pretty nice. How is that case?
 
You can mount hard drives perpendicularly in the Lian Lis (at least with the PC-6x and I would imagine their newer models, but do your homework), they come with a little plate you have to attach to the hard drive cage.
 
I'm gonna say the Lian Li A05, its pretty small vertically, but is the same width and depth as the rest of the LiLi's. It's 100 bucks, I just got one last week and love it basically.
