Looking to rebuild my pc, and need case suggestions

I have around 100 $ to spend on a new case. I have been looking around for quite a while, but haven't seen anything that peaked my interest. I would like something with solid airflow, clean aesthetics, and preferably an acrylic side window. Currently I am using the fractal design core 3000, and I can't stand it. 

I appreciate any and all suggestions...

Why can't you stand it? The Core 3000 is a pretty solid case. 

I was gonna recommend the Fractal Design Define R4. It has decent airflow, has a clean design, and is available with a window. it is really quiet as well. If you don't like the Core 3000 then it may not be the best fit though.

Anyways if you can shell aout some more money and can find a good deal,nzxt h440 just meets your demands and is very good case imho.other than that corsait graphite 230t is a nice buy too.if you like military look and feel have a look to corsait vengeance c70 case.

Both great suggestions, I have been looking into the define r4, and will proboboly end up going that route. And in response to DerKrieger I don't like the core 3000, because of the lack of cable management solutions available, and I got bored of the meshed front panel. 

Thanks again for your suggestions,  and I welcome even more...

Phanteks Enthoo Pro, best case you can get for $100. I have one and absolutely love it

I'm in the middle of a build with the Define R4 and use a Define Mini for my gaming rig. What was you issue with the core 3000's cable management? I don't want you making the same mistake twice.

Also +1 for the NZXT 440. I love that case :)

Is this the same case?

@ Cellprocessing, my main gripe with the core 3000 cable management, was there were not any cable routing holes above the motherboard and no where for the 4 pin cpu cable to be routed. To conect the 4 pin to the motherboard the cable had to be routed under my gpu... That made me irate. Additionally I didn't think there is enough room behind the mobo tray.

Yes, that's the one :)

Well then your in luck.  The R4 has a CPU power cut out. And they extended the back a little bit. And there are two SSD mounting trays on the back of the motherboard tray.
