Only requirements are that it has to be atx, have at least half-decent airflow, have good cable management and be under $100. I don't care if it has RGB or not, however, the ability to put it in would be nice. Also, I personally don't like CoolerMaster's designs.

Where are you from?

I based my prices in Canadian dollars from Canadian sources.

 

Deepcool Matrexx 55 Mesh: $50 - $60

Cougar MMX330: $50 (Staples Canada seems to be the only place)

Corsair 275R Airflow - $80

Fractal Design Meshify C is under $100 when its on sale during this time of the year.

I personally like the Phanteks P400A. Great airflow with the new front panel, easy to build in, can go all the way to EATX boards, and less than 100 USD. The Meshify C is also a good case.
