Good places for aluminum cases?

[KeyzerSoze]

Hi,
I'm looking to get an aluminum case with an acrylic front panel and maybe a clear side window. I'm looking to spend < $100. Can anyone recommend any particular cases or vendors I should go with. Thanks in advance.

Well, you could check the following:
Newegg
Electroseller (NOTE: Be careful with electroseller- I've only done business once with them, and they failed to include my 80mm fan. However, once notified of the error, they swiftly appologized and a few days later my fan arrived in a hand-addressed package. Just be cautious, otherwise they're good.)

If you don't find one there, go to Pricewatch

Hope it helps. Good luck!!

I have a case I bought from SVCompucycle.com. It is the Raidmax A288 model listed on their site for $54.99. I was charged around $12 for ground shipping to SoCal. It meets your specs. It comes with a clear side fan and a black 60mm fan in the rear. No power supply included. I bought a blue cold cathode from them and it looks great all lit up. I stealthed my CDROM drive using the face plate - looks great for 10 minutes of work. I also like the extra three 3½" drive bays at the bottom of the case, giving many more drive bays versus most of the lower priced aluminum cases on the market.

I'm not particularly fond of the airflow characteristics, however. Not that I've had any heat problems with it, but I like having a large fan at the rear. This case has a small fan at the rear and an 80mm fan in the side window. I'd prefer no fan in that location. Just personal preference.
