Hi guys,
I'm planning to get a sub-$100 case (maybe higher if it seems worth it), with:
at least 3 external 5.25 bays
at least 2 internal 3.5 bays
at least 300W psu
at least 3 included case fans
I plan to oc a bit, and I am running under a budget, and I also want a good looking case.
Thanks in advance.

If you are looking fore a full tower look no further than the InWin Q500 see www.mwave.com
https://www.sharkyforums.com/
At $73 + shipping it cant be beat.
For a mid tower Fong Kai FK-603 is the one. Its has been a favorite of anandtech for over a year. www.directron.com has them for $53 + shipping. It comes with a 250W P/S stock but I think a 300 can be had for a nominal charge

while the windtunnel ones look great, i was thinking more along the lines of the cyclone (at http://coolerguys.com/cpucool/cases.shtml ).
it's got a decent price, lots of fans (i don't want to have to drill any holes just yet.. this case isn't really for me), and a great review at hardocp.
any comments... suggestions...
thanks for your input guys.
