What are some decent cases with decent airflow in the 100 dollar price bracket?

What are some really decent cases in the 100 dollar price range? I'm looking for one with decent airflow.

[Heliian]

First off, what size is your build?

 

One thing to note is that cheap cases are supplied with, if at all, cheap fans that aren't even worth using so leave some budget for fans. 

 

My latest case, which I keep raving about the airflow, is the Azza luminous 110. Its Matx size but roomy.  Meshify is good too but most decent cases are pushing 200$.

if you want a case for cheap then there are places like ebay and facebook marketplace but you can be literally just throwing money away so warned. and Heliian is right. you want to make sure yout budget has money in it for replacement fans. but for only $100, your options are very limited. the best to do there would be to buy the case you want and then ju st leave the side panel off for the best airflow.

What would be an ideal budget range for a decent case? 150 to 200 dollars?

i would say that would be range for a decent case but there are only two factors that matter on which case. 1. will it fit everything inside it that you want? 2. do you like it? for me, i have an apevia x hermes case and i like it because it has a hot swap right in front but i can not close the side panel becasue the GPU is too bog to fit.

I love my Lian Li LanCool II Mesh. 

But good luck finding it for MSRP. I had to pay $120 when I did find it. 

 

There are A LOT of options. It's up to you. 

 

Higher budget means more and better options, included fans and what not. 

 

Also, look to see if your CPU cooler and GPU can fit into the case you like.

 

If you narrow your choices down, hopefully we can give you more pros and cons.
