Case recommendations under $80

I'm looking for a case to go with an upcoming build (duh) for my brother. Currently I'm eyeing the NZXT Source 530 with a retail price of $80 on Newegg. But I'm looking to see if I can find anything better for the price or something that's about equivalent for less.

 

What I need:

Black (at least mostly, preferably completely)

Flexible cooling options 

ATX motherboard support

Good build quality

At least 1 5.25" bay

Decent cable management

 

What I would prefer (but don't NEED):

Flexible drive support

Several included fans (good ones)

Fan filters

Rubber grommets in the cable management holes

 

Any suggestions? Or should I stick with the 530?

 

 

I've built 3 PC's, but none for myself... In fact, I'm using an iMac that my dad bought for me as my desktop. Awkward...

Please don't say "SSD drive." By doing so, you are literally saying "Solid State Drive Drive" and causing my brain cells to commit suicide. The same applies to HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express).
