The corsair 230t is alright, though I would have liked to see removable drive cages, non-fucked up positioned front fan mounts, cable management grommets, and some vibration dampening on the hdd cage..

Depending on the components inside, a Define R4, S340, Spec 01 Red ($40 is a good price for this.) or spend extra and get an Enthoo Pro. Though I don't really justify spending that much on a case. :/

PC and Peripherals:

Intel Core i3 4150 @3.5GHz - ASRock H97M Anniversary - Kingston Fury HyperX Black 8GB DDR3 @1866MHz - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 G1 Gaming 2GB GDDR5 - EVGA 500W 80+ Certified - WD Caviar Blue 1TB - WD Caviar Blue 160GB - Lian Li PC-50 - Linux Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS - Acer P221w 21.5" 1680x1050 60Hz - Kingston Fury HyperX Clouds - Razer Deathadder 3.5G - CM Storm Quickfire Rapid w/ Cherry MX Blues

There's the Fractal Design Define S. It apparently won't be out until June, and it lacks a 5.25" drive bay. But it will sell for $79.99 and in my opinion looks quite awesome.

That honestly seems like a great case, and that's coming from me.

Yeah, as long as you're comfortable with not having an optical drive. For some that may be a deal-breaker, but there's always external.

 

I really love the lack of drive cages and the vertical mounts for HDDs. It looks so roomy, and I think they made the window bigger.
