Under $100 Case

[brumby05]

I'm hoping to find a case to do a new sandy bridge build. I'd like to spend less than $100 and it will need to fit a 6950 crossfire. I think the cards are just under 11in or 280mm long.

I really like the look of the Corsair 650D, along with it's cable management, I just don't want to spend that much right now. Are there any similar cases out there? I'm looking for a case with good cable management and preferably lighter than my previous case, the Antec 180b (weighed around 30lbs).

This would be perfect, hopefully it is out soon. I really like the cable management of the Corsair cases.

Now I'm trying to decide on whether or not to wait for the 400R, or get this now?

For 69.99 that is a great deal for quality, Not so much on cooling.

Lian Li K63...pretty nice in the under 100 range. Not sure if you can take the elvis style though. Still has some improved features over the K62 and sadly nearly anything in the entire Lian Li line!

This case will not fit a 6950 without modifying the drive cages. I know cause I have it and a 6950 in it. had to cut about a inch into the 5.25 cage and I ended up removing the 3.5 altogether.

I just picked up the Bitfenix Shinobi and I am very happy with this case for the money.

Here is review showing it with a GTX 590 so you should have room for your 6950.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm putting together this build in the next couple of weeks so I still have a little time. Please keep the suggestions coming.
