Use spare cases. Otherwise, don't waste money on cases you won't use. Start planning new builds and figure out what kind of mods would make sense and fit the theme.

Honestly my case is perfect for practice modding, I had to mod it to make the Kraken x60 fit. The NZXT Source 210 for $35

I got a few scratches when I did it, but eventually you'll get a new case for a new build and get to start all over again and this time with experience.

I second this. The source 210 is a cheap but well built case, and the side panels are just flat pieces of metal--perfect for cutting a window in. (Thats what I did to mine)
