I'm looking to pick up a new case for my computer. My price limit is about $150. I've got my eye on the Cooler Master Cosmo SE. I was just hoping to get some suggestions on cases in this price range to see if there's anything that would suit my needs better. 

 

System specs:

CPU: Intel Core i7 3770

Cooler: CM Hyper 212 EVO

GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 Ti

MB: ASRock H77 Pro4/MVP

Samsung 850 PRO 128GB SSD

(+3 standard HDDs of varying sizes)

 

 

Link to cosmo SE: http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Cosmos-SE-Computer/dp/B00GN5IKBW/ 

 

Anyways, the things I like about the Cosmo SE is the size(And space that gives me), the side facing HDD mounts, the handles on the case (I frequently take my system to friends houses for LANs) .  Some people might care about the weight of a case on the subject of portability, but I'm okay with lugging a 50lb(~23kg) monster around(As long as it's got handles, or some other easy way to carry it). I also like the aesthetics of the Cosmo SE. The case also has support for watercooling (In the future when I upgrade to an overclockable CPU)

 

Thanks in advance for you help!

I found this on newegg it cheaper than the Cosmo and has all the same features. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119297&cm_re=handle-_-11-119-297-_-Product

I like the case, but from Newegg, I'd be paying $226 for it(I live in Alaska, shipping is like $75 on that case) From Amazon I can get free shipping, but the case is $186 on Amazon :(

 

The Storm Scout 2 on the other hand, is under $100 on Amazon. I don't NEED a window, it's definitely a plus but not a requirement.

 

Thanks for your suggestions!

 

Edit: I forgot about Amazon's different sellers, the Storm Trooper is $149.99 on Amazon(Sold by Amazon) So that's probably what I'll be going with.
