My thoughts have been traveling long and hard across cases and airflow, and quality.
I first had my eyes on a ABS Black Pearl, its a fully aluminum OEM Lian-li sort of case.
It is a full tower with some 4 spots for 80mm fans, and 1 120mm fan
Second i found my eyes hit some IN-WIN Maelstorm, it is SECC steal, and has 6-120mm fan ports on the side, 1 back 120mm fan port, 2 top 120mm fan ports, and 1-2 front 120mm fan ports. WOW.
The INWIN Maelstorm is 109.99 and has a black finish with sound proofing on the doors and case, the ABS Black Pearl seems like a sleek vented beast i could slap 120mm fans on, and is a full tower maid of aluminum.

I don't know about other cases but i would love to find some cool ideas of cases on newegg.

I dont want to spend 129.99-139.99 dollars on a case, but i want features like, black finished inside casings, and big venting, or spots for 120mm fans,
It could be from anything just give me heads up on whats up, cause im not sure what i want to purchase for a lasting case lol.
