I think the Air 540 is about $100.

 

The White edition is on a weekly special. http://www.ncix.com/detail/corsair-carbide-series-air-540-dc-93180-1013.htm

H440 or Fractal Design R4. Both are right around 100 dollars.

The best cases in that bracket are:

Fractal Design Define R4

NZXT H440

Phanteks Enthoo Pro

What about the:

 

Corsair C70 - better build quality and water cooling support than an R4

 

Corsair Air 540 - can do most all of the water cooling stuff that an H440 can without limited airflow and the lack of a 5.25" drive bay

 

Well, I can't beat the Enthoo Pro, Phanteks really knocked it out of the park with that one.

I need a good case around 100$ with good features would someone help?

 

What happened to your 300r decision yesterday?

 

If you decided you can go a couple dollars above $100.

 

The H440 is an awesome choice.

 

If not the 300r from yesterday is still a solid choice.

I had a computer.. and then I let FedEx ship it.
