Suggestions for cases

Zacharygoo

So I was planning on building a custom watercooling loop for my PC, but my case would be inadequate for this.  I was wondering if there were any full tower or mid tower cases that have ample support for watercooling, fit a black and white color scheme, and don't break the bank (preferably under $100, but I can raise that if needed).  I have an ATX motherboard, so it obviously has to support that.

Define S fits in your budget easy.

The main problem I have with this case-and I guess I should have brought this up in my original post-is that it doesn't have the cover over the power supply area, like that found on something like the nzxt h440.

Ah, well does the H440 not fit in your budget?

no, It's $20 over, and I hoping to stay under the $100 unless I have to.

A Phanteks P400 or Enthoo Pro M might fit in your budget.

It is on the smaller side, but it still supports a couple positions for radiators.
