Yeah well here is a link:

What do you guys think? I can get it for $120 AUD without a PSU but woth 2x120mm TT fans and 1x90mm TT fan

Also, any other suggestions on nice cases, nothing over $150 AUD?

A friend of mine has one. It's nothing spectacular but it's a good, solid case. I considered getting one for a while before I got my Centurion 5.

i have it, only thing is the pci holding thing is iffy, I use screws. Also, cable management is a bit hard in it...

Get rid of the crap PCI holder, and otherwise I love the case. It's a wee bit on the small side, but hey, it's an ATX midtower. I'm a bit worried personally about the front fan, the front grille completely limits airflow. Other then that, a very nice, sturdy, well built case.

I agree 100%, but the case is quite roomy... i usually work in microatxs, so i guess thats how i see it. Front fan, yes, I dremeled off the intake...
