Renewing Case Search

I'm giving up looking for a suitable desktop ATX case to make into my HTPC case. Now I'm looking for the cheapest ATX mid-tower case that takes a full ATX mobo AND has a 120MM exhaust fan on it. I plan on heavily modding it into the HTPC case of my sub-$100-total dreams.

We could make one out of duct-tape.

I really like the new CoolerMaster Centurion cases.

I've built machines with both the new Centurion 5 and Centurion 530; both feature the front intake design from the Stacker while being of tolerable size. One of my dual processor Pentium 3 machines is in a Centurion 5 and a single Opteron workstation in the 530.

Shh! Burden said not to let the cat outta the bag on that one!

I like that coolermaster centurion case, but it's a bit expensive for something I plan to cut up. Maybe for a PC that remains intact, though...

Anything REALLY cheap out there that is a mid-tower with 120MM exhaust?

you could get a small cardboard box and reinforce it with ductupe, ad a window and couple of big ass fans!!! it would blend in in my room, I have so many boxes in my room.....I thought about putting a P3 600 Mhz system together in one of them, but i dont have a powerswitch for it...thats all i need. but its sitting disasymbled in a box under my desk.

I found this case for chee-ee-ee-ee-p today on the egg. Structurally, it looks sort of like a Lian Li. I bought it, and hopefully it will be suitably moddable to accept a 120MM fan (front and rear). I can't wait to see what I can do with this project!
