There are so many options in that price range. It's like saying "I want a car for less than $250,000 USD." 

 

To answer you though, many manufacturers have great options. Some to consider:

 

Corsair, NZXT, Lian Li, Cooler Master, etc. Try PCPartPicker for a bit of searching.

Holy crap!  I had no idea the 900D was that expensive.  I thought it was a $275 case, not a $350+case. Jeeez.

Yeah, totally not worth the price tag

(IMO I wouldn't buy it for 300$, even 100$)

Idk, $100 for that case seems like a steal...  But definitely not worth $300.

4. Big box

More like:

1.  Best case for $100.

2.  Very similar to #1 with a few extra features and more top radiator and fan space

3.  A much bigger case than the first two with more features and awesome layout.

4. A really big freaking box that is overpriced.
