You can snatch the P180 from Bestbuy online for 79 bucks.
 
Silverstone, Lian-li, or old Cooler Master ATCS cases. You can get the ATC-710 off of sundialmicro for 80 bucks, it's a gorgeous case!
 
I've also been looking for a really simple, sleek case for some time now. I was very serious about getting the V600 but the way the PSU is positioned discouraged me.

I love Lian-Li's cases I'm not so fond of most of the "affordable" ones (the PC-60 / PC-7 series) because of the top grille / and the way it has a little door for the external USB ports. I'm really leaning towards the higher end Lian-Li cases like the A10 or P101.

Here are the ones I like but are a little pricier. About $200 or less for the most part, but definitely more expensive than the average case:

directron_1937_5464450

http://www.directron.com/pcb20a.html $165.00

directron_1935_1107738418

http://www.directron.com/pc101a.html $179.00

directron_1937_31613864

http://www.directron.com/pca10a.html $208.00

I'm sure you can find better deals on other websites, I just happened to look at directron since I was going to buy my V600 from them.
 
Why are most LianLi's around the $200 or higher, is it the material its made of or other?
 
They are made out of aluminum, which generally causes Lian-Li cases to be more expensive than your average steel case.

And yeah, you also pay a lil' extra for the name :p

Once you pick one up and work on it, you will know why you pay so much.

Pure aluminum build, their cases are incredibly light.
