[Scar13]

Guys whats a good case for moving air through the case and out?

I dont care for looks just needs to run cool and quiet and not over 100$ ( I dont need a power supply )

Something that uses 120mm fans, such as this.

I've been considering an evercase. Silentpc review gives the 4252 a recommendation, so the one I linked to should be even better, right? Looks way better than the 4252, imo.

The 4252 and 4292 are pretty much the same inside, just the plastic bezel and color scheme are different. Go with whichever you like. They are very easy cases to build out. Be sure the one you order comes with the rubber HD isolators - they are optional and your dealer has to specify them or they won't be included.
Also very good is the Casetek design the Antek 3700AMB and the Compucase 6Axx series are based on. See the write up on Coolcases.com.
. The Ahanix Black Knight as linked to above is a nice new entry in the 12cm frt and rear fan club. Unfortunately they don't even have rubber HD isolators as an option as the others do. You'll have to mod it yourself.

They are great cases, and are heavier than they look, just not quite as quiet as the likes of an Antec SLK3700-xxx. However, it is pretty easy to quiet them down a bit (some mousepad glued near the front side vents...). Purely for moving air through, they are great. Even with 5 18" IDE cables tangled in there, the air fow is great. Also, the black E4252s look better than the pictures, and the beige look uglier than the pics.

and the beige look uglier than the pics.

lol. u serious? that's not good. I like how they have the duct preinstalled, requiring no further case modding as far as I can tell.

How is the 4292 for overclocking?

Yes, they are quite ugly...the black ones look good, though.

Since it is basically the same inside...fine. If you get one w/ a PSU, I don't know about the 300w they normally come with. It's fine for most PCs, but I don't know if I'd overclock with it (typical specs for a bottom-of-the-line 300w, but with the AMD sticker on it --and I've yet to have a rpoblem with one, and my father, who has 20-some-odd at work now that I turned him on to them, has had no issues either). Sometimes they come w/ Enhance or Sparkle PSUs, which are perfectly fine.

...once you include a PSU, the Antec's aren't more expensive for the same case, and they look better.
