Wanted to just ask this community...what do you think is the best micro atx case for functionality and looks under $100?

Thanks in advance 

The Define Mini C

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

I Been looking at the 301 for a while now trying to figure it out

Used one for a while, it performed ok with stock config (no fans) but once all 5 slots are filled it gets quite good.  

 

Can recomend if you already have a bunch of case fans (or are willing to spend that extra 20 bucks or so) but the mini c ir a really solid case right off the bat.

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

I just want something a bit different not the standard black box look. That's why i really want an itx,but at a $900 budget for a streaming and mid tier gaming pc i dont think itll work

Heres a super solid streaming build, 75 bucks left for a case of your choice.  If you can go $25 over budget there are a ton of great itx cases in the $100 range.

Qbx is great, sorry about storage.  I always forget about it because I have so many spare drives
