Best case for not paying too much but still getting exceptional quality is the fractal design core 1000. if you're super stripped of money though, an antec vsk-4000e will work in a pinch. Aside from those two budget cases, the only thing that really matters is how it looks and form factor.

Woo!

Not quite. If you're strapped for cash then those two cases are what I feel are the best options, at under $40. If money is less of an issue, then leave it up to how much you like the look of a certain case, and how much you're willing to pay for it. If you live near a micro center, they have many popular cases on display.

Woo!

What kind of style do you prefer? it has to have curves

Subtle, or aggressive?  doesn't really matter but don't like box cases

Matte finish or glossy? don't care

what color? blue/black

what form factor? doesn't matter as long as it has the top holes for 8pin cpu connector. also would like lots of back space for cables. right now I cant even fit my motherboard connector back there
