What is the best case on the market right now full tower or mid tower for cable management. I got a almost free deal on an In Win Track case and it is pretty good. I am using that one until I get a new case. I have between 100-200 to spend on this new case.

Thanks for the help everyone.
 
Well there is no "best case" on the market today, Every case has up's and downs, Can you give me a description on what you want? Also a good case if you want cooling is the In Win Dragon Rider. EDIT: The In Win Track is also a good case. Why are you upgrading from it?
 
There are a lot of good cases out there in the 100-200 dollar range (and some pretty good cases under 100.00 too) . It all depends on what you are most concerned with and your application.

I am most concerned with good airflow, cable management, and clean lines. So for under 100.00 I like the coolermaster 690 II or 690 II Advanced. The Antec 300 is pretty nice case under 100.00 as well. The Antec 900 (different revisions are often available for around 100.00) Also available are Lian Li LanCool cases for about the same cost.

These are my preferences due to my preferred application and need for good airflow and simple clean lines. Also I'm a little bit frugal and can't stand the thought of spending too much over 100.00 on a case.

There would not make a good HTPC case though, so again it is really based on your preferences and application.
 
Lian-Li LanCool series are the shit. Coolermaster and NZXT have some nice cases out as well IMO

I agree, NZXT has the vulcan if you want a portable computer and its a nice case and coolermaster has the HAF and The 690. Lan cool are very good steel cases with a lot of nice features.
 
199.99 Would be the cost of a HAF X which is the the case I have been staring at nearly everyday just waiting for the right moment where I will decide its time to build a new machine and i will pick it up.

Moral of the story is A.) I would recommend a HAF X. but more importantly B.) If your price range includes the object of my affection, then you really need to tell us what features and capabilities you want and or need. This is high-end enthusiast budget(though not extreme enthusiastic budget). This means that just about every case (cept the Lanboy) someone recommends could be the greatest case to them.
