Need small form factor case suggestions

[DVA]

Title

 

Budget: I'd like to stay below $80 USD.  I will be modding this case so I'll be removing paint and plasti-dipping it. 

 

Requirements:

Side tempered glass panel

Decent airflow, it won't be running anything too heavy

Anything under mid-atx is fine with me

Micro ATX

 

Preference:

I'd like to have the front panel a sort of closed front face with airflow coming in from either the top or bottom, similar to how the NZXT h500 does. Reason being, I am going to paint this thing and my vision has the front panel being similar to the h500. If all else fails, I'll just purchase a h500 case and mod that. 

 

Suggest away my friends!

Any clue as to how the airflow is? The front seems to have good airflow, but I'd like to know for sure. 

 

I should probably put this in as a "preferred" kind of thing, but I would like a closed front panel with air ventilation coming in through grooves via the bottom or the top of the front face panel. Similar to the h500 if that helps explain what I mean.

Airflow is good, but maybe you're looking for something like the Define Mini C? But it's kinda out of your price range 

 

Jk its on sale on Newegg for 70$

Actually, that looks freaking perfect, thanks! I should have remembered this from one of the ads by JayzTwoCents or BitWit lol.

Though it's not what I'm looking for, it looks fun to build in. It remind me of a short stubby bulldog, that's probably what I would call it
