Cheap transparent-ish case

Hey folks.

My case is starting to show some age, and with some extra cash, I'm considering getting a new case. 

I really like the looks of tempered glass/transparent sides and was wondering what cheap cases you guys would recommend? 

I've been looking at the p400, S340, In Win 101... (tho Im sceptical if they will fit my CPU cooler). 

Requirements

Must fit a 160mm cpu cooler 

Under 120usd (around 1000 Swedish crowns)

Preferably white

Transparent side panel (preferably the whole side, not just a smallish window). 

Should be fairly minimalistic. 

Aaaand having a PSU/bottom cover would be a bit plus. 

 

Thanks in advance folks, and hope I'm not too demanding :D

Not sure if it's available for you though

 

I totally glanced over the fact you already looked at the P400 :(

The In Win 101 looks pretty nice. It supports cpu coolers up to 160 mm, costs 70 USD, has a white with blue accent option, has a full tempered glass side panel, and has a top-mounted psu shroud.

 

Edit: The psu shroud is full-length, and the case has 2 3.5 inch drive bays right next to the shroud.

I never ruled it out. It's a damn good looking case that I'm really tempted by. Aside from the fact that it's like $110 here :(

Ooo me likes :P. I like the blue accents, goes with my current parts, and it's nice you can semi hide the HDDs. Tho this case is also overpriced here, at $100.

 

And dammit I forgot about my fan controller that needs a 5.whatver inch bay... Guess that's gonna have to go.
