Default Need a new case

Well, I'm going to buy a new case. I need it to have great airflow, and look really good (preferably original in the way it looks). Green lights are a plus, but anything is fine. I just can't find a single case out there that looks good and is functional. I will probably be doing tweaks here and there on the case as well. Budget is under $200.

Thanks guys.

I was leaning towards a mid tower, but I appreciate the suggestion. Any others?

I know its my choice, I just want to see if anyone has found anything I haven't.

Noo! No antec 900! I don't want to have a cookie cutter computer.

I was considering this: Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Centurion 590 RC-590-KKN1-GP Black SECC / ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases with green cathodes and fans, and a simple mesh window mod on the side panel.

Thoughts?

If you want a quality case, then go with the Gigabyte Aurora 570, It's fairly cheap if you can find it.

Newegg.com - GIGABYTE 3D Aurora 570 GZ-FA1CA-ASB Black 1.0 mm Aluminum body ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases

I paid about that, I saw it for $110 somewhere though.

Did a build in one of those once.

Case wasn't bad at all. The little wind tunnel thing was kinda useless but for the price it's a gorgeous tower.
