Well, as the title says, I have 100$ and I'm looking for a new case. I currently own the Antec 300 (god the cable management makes me cry). I've been looking at the CoolerMaster HAF 922 but I'm not sure if there are any other better-quality cases that you guys could suggest. Thanks in advance!

The HAF912 should be a great choice, however the 400R is also worth considering.Not quite sure how they would compare, but either would be fine.

I was going to suggest the case you said you were looking at, but...yeah.
I'd recommend a HAF 912. It has cable management,  good cooling and it gives you room to up another area (such as your GPU or CPU) in your build.

I'd say that either the HAF series (912 or 922 depending on preference) or the 400r as Christoir mentioned would be good choices.

Well it looks like the 400R might be the one that I'll end up getting, nice cable management, looks good, spacy, and LED's. However I still like the look of the 922. However, I would still like a to see a few more options

The Fractal Define R3 is always a good option, it offers great noise reduction and decent cooling, comes in just over budget at $110 although it could probably be found for $100: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811352013

However like above I would have to side with a HAF model, 922 is pretty decent.

How did I forget about the fractal. I actually considered it as my next case. Really quiet and it offers some good cable management.

This, air filters, quiet. Amazing case!

The first one is a mATX case, which is oriented for having a rig in a small space. If space isn't a problem, it's not really worth it. Better to get a large case, with better airflow and easier installation.

Yeah, stick with the 400r and the haf 912. I just tried to pick a case that no one else said yet.

I've also been looking at the Storm Scout case, what do you guys think of it?

However, I've been debating, should I get a new case or upgrade my computer? 100$ isn't that much, but it's just a thought.

Specs so you can tell me whether or not I should upgrade:

AMD Phenom II 965 @ 3.40GHz
4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz RAM
500GB Western Digital HDD
ASRock M3A770DE AM3 Motherboard
Lite-On Optical Drive
Sapphire Radeon HD6770 (this is really the only part of my build that I dis-like)
Corsair 600W PSU 80+ Certified
Antec 300 Mid-Tower "Gaming" Case
