Need good cheap case that fits good video cards.

Need good cheap case that can fit a 8800 GTX and future cards. My budget is $200 and below. And i would rather have the PSU mount at the top of the case. I also don't want the case to be huge like the CMstacker 830. Is there such cases??

And psu mount is at the bottom.

Have a look at tpenaltys helpdesk (searchword HELPDESK) for cable management - my rig - it is an Antec P182 Gunmetal-Black Edition case..

Thermaltake armor looks good.

here's the thing; 200 is actually quite a bit for a case. What you should do is pop over to newegg and search for midsize cases. The thermaltake armor is nice (that's what I use), but it's huge, and weights like 40 lbs. Nothing wrong with that; but you mentioned you don't want a large case. Decide if you want flashy lights, a sidewindow, and how much noise matters. The antec 900 or the Sonata 3 both might fit the bill; one is showy and bright, the other subtle and silent. Cases really come down mostly to aesthetics, we'd probably need more input to help you choose a good one for you.

It can be large just not huge like the cm stacker 830. Im trying to fit it under my desk but i know the cmstacker 830 won't fit. I know the Armor will because my brother has a Kandalf and it can fit under the same desk. I don't mind a window, but i don't need one. Just a decently priced case that has alot of room for future cards to fit in. So the armor is ok. But would like more input.

bump, I now have a bit more cash( around $300) and i may get the Armor still. But i am still looking and willing for suggestions. I like PSU mount at the top and cases that can fit huge cards. And i am looking at newegg as we speak.

i would recommend the TJ07 or TJ09 if you are looking to spend up to 300. also, the lian-li v2000 is quite nice, except it is probably quite a bit bigger than the other cases i listed.
