help me pick a new case

Dylan lol

so i have a pre built computer from hp, http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=5146418&spf_p.tpst=kbDocDisplay&spf_p.prp_kbDocDisplay=wsrp-navigationalState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c03028604-16%257CdocLocale%253D%257CcalledBy%253D&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken

 

the size is about 15 by 15 and its a good case besides the fact that there is no way to put the sound card i bought in because i had to BREAK open an expansion slot because theres no way to open it and it wont stay in place, so im done with this and want a real case.

 

So i want a case thats around 15-20 inches, i dont want a huge case like 25 by 25 inches. i also want it to be black. i want it to be easy to put my computer parts in it because i have 0 experience of building computers, and i want the expansion slots to be easily removed and not having to break open. also i dont want the fans in it to be really loud. id prefer to not have a window. budget $150 but id prefer not to spend that much on a case.

but if you want to have a nice window, or just bettar stuff, get a new motherboard -.-

 

(like even a cheap ~$100 one would be betar)

I meant window as in side panel window...

If you are going to get a case with a side panel window, the motherboard will look really ugly

i dont want a window regardless, looks nerdy. the main thing im worried about is how to install the motherboard in the new case. when i take my motherboard out of my current case do i have to take the cpu fan and stuff off first or can i just unscrew everything?
