This is a cool case and is the type of thing I'm looking for, but it's a bit expensive for this build. That's my fault I should have specified, I'm really looking to spend 50ish on the case max.

I can't think of a case thats 50 USD and is a microatx. There you go- the choice is subjective anyway.

Thanks for the list! Do you know much about the Cougar Spike? It seems like decent case for the price.

Never hears of that company- read up on some reviews, if it does everything you need and looks decent go for it.

It's a good case considering the price but the N200 is better if within your budget.
