Looking for a case

Looking for a new case for my 2nd PC which I am going to be re purposing. I was looking at the Define R5 but don't feel like spending $130 on a PC for my 2nd PC, although it's tempting. Any good case recommendations? Doesn't have to be fancy in anyway this is for my streaming rig.

What are the specs of the system?

Where are you shopping/located? How much do you plan to spend?

For my old system repurpose. Intel i7 980, 12GB Corsair vengence ram, 700w Cooler Master PSU, EVGA GTX 580, Noctua NH-U14s. It's not that I can't spend $130 on a case, if I do I'll go with 450d or Define R5, but it's for a 2nd PC, and I spent a shit ton on water cooling my main, so I'm not really worried about the looks at all of this one. Gonna be buying a new SSD and possibly PSU for it as well so trying to keep cost to a minimum since it's not even my main. Hoping for less than $100 bucks on the case. Hoping to pick up on amazon located in US.

Erm, s340 again? lol it's a 70 dollar case and very compact, not to bad on the looks or features. I have one for my main pc and I love it. Fairly sure it's the smallest case you can get for full atx but don't quote me on that.

I guess the 200r wouldn't be terrible, I certainly wouldn't get an s340 for 130. That's almost double what I paid.

The Ostrog is a cheap option: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/enermax-case-eca3253bl

If you're looking for a higher end case, the R4 has been going on frequent sales for ~$80.
