Looking for a new case

So right now I have the Thermaltake RX-1 Overseer which is 4 to 5 years old and I am looking to change out so I can see the RGB lighting better. I have been looking over cases and a lot look good to me but I would like to ask for help I picking one. Some of the things I am looking for is being able to see inside my case, good airflow, either an atx or full size, and able to have good to excellent cable management. Pre-installed RGB would be a major plus but not a deal breaker (yet). Oh and price is a factor

 I got about 100 dollars saved up at the moment. If you all can tell me what you like and let me check it out. Thanks

I just bougth the cooler master nr400 for my new mATX build. Its quite good. Plenty of air flow. The ATX version is the NR600. It does not come with RGB. I'm using a cooler master RGB LED magnetic strip.

@Bacon soup I just bought this case last month but haven't mounted anything on it yet. It's looking good! How's the clearance of the CPU fan?  I'm putting a CM 212 Black Edition on it.

 

@Omikse I agree with Bacon on this. The reason I bought this case is because I saw that it had good reviews for good airflow.

The deep blue sky is infinitely high and crystal clear.

its got good clearance. Ive got the scythe fuma which I think is a little bit shorter than other tower coolers, and has a slim front fan that fits nicely with ram. I'm sure this case will fit even the largest air coolers.

Thank you for the suggestion. I have looked into this case and it does seem good. I can say it is in the running but I am trying to find something more flashy. I little more RGB'ish.

Personally I like the Phanteks P400A. You can get it with or without rgb on it and it has a ton of airflow. Has good cable management and is really easy to build in. I own 3 different P400 cases and have had zero issues with them.
