I own a NZXT M59, I would buy another one.

Only thing I didn't like was the fans molex connector the pins slide out easily. It's impossible to mount a 140mm with a CD/Rom drive in the top slot. But you can with a 120mm. Also the connecters for the usb and front audio are hot glued to the front pannal wish I would have know that before taking it off >-< now my front usbs don't work at all. But thats the quality you get for under $50. On the plus side you can easily fit a Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212 with all ram slots filled. There are more but you need to read the reviews on newegg or amazon and see what you can live with for any case.

+1 for the M59

Why? I own one and it is fantastic.

I would also recommend the NZXT Source 210 windowed ( i have the non-window version) but it an awesome case with really good cable management for a budget case. It has pretty good air flow and can be okay for water cooling but I recommend a water cooling kit instead. Heres the link : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146102

I would also recommend the Cooler Master Elite 430. It really good but the NZXT has better cable management but is still a really good case and has way better air flow. Heres the link : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119273

 Hope this helped :)

I'd like to be the millionth person to recommend the Nzxt source 210.  Its really nice, has room for growing later on and seems to be of a pretty high quality.  I'm buying one next paycheck for a new build.

Coolermaster Elite 370

is a really good case for about 40$ Euros and have plenty of air flow with one 140mm fan on the front two 120mm on the top and also two 120mm on the side and even one more on the base of 120mm ... wow and the psu mount is on the base which is cool for a case of this price point.

Right now the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 is on sale!

And to think its about $80 AUD in Australia.

Bitfenix survivor is usually around 49$ and is pretty good for the money.

15

tell me where i find that case with that price point and i give you 100 euros .... lol i think you meant 80$

I was about to buy this one because of the sale but I went for the Node 304 instead. Fractal makes some great cases.

Rule of thumb, if it's Corsair, Cooler Master, Cougar, NZXT, Antec, Raidmax, Thermaltake, Bitfenix...they're all quite well built cases....i would go for the one that fits the way you're building your PC.

Look at Cable Management, fan socket layouts, and size more than anything.  I personally find Raidmax and Antec to be one of the best value per dollar cases.  Right after Cooler Master and NZXT.

If you're really strapped for cash the Antec 100 is one of the best.  Then Raidmax has a ton of cases with nice designs if you're looking for the import tuner look.  Cooler Master with their HAF line is the best for airflow generally.  NZXT is like the happy medium, so the Source is quite a good case.
