well, i need a case for my first real mod :) I'm looking for just a plain box, no door, no window, decent airflow, and it's gotta be around (or under) 80 bucks. I was thinking maybe going with this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811112099
this case meets all my needs prefectly, but does anyone have something bad to say about this case or can possibly reccomend another one that has all the things listed above?
Thanks for all your help.

You can't really go wrong with a Lian-Li if you're going for simplicity and quality. Any of those cases will be great for whatever you're doing to it.

cool, thanks for the quick reply too. I've always heard the best of Lian-Li, but i rarely hear bad things of companies like silverstone (just to name one) but i couldnt find any decent cases from the other guys like this case at that price :)

Perfect case to use as a foundation for a mod well layed out interior, not anaodized so it easy to paint, easy to cut as well. Good choice.

Is your budget of $80 including shipping? Because it will bring the total price to above $100 if that is ok with you.

Mark, that is a nice case but...

I'm looking for just a plain box, no door, no window, decent airflow,
Other than that it would be a very nice choice.

Ok this link is Radioshack (They suck balls) but this case is EXTREMELEY good for modding. I have the one with the window, but there a good chioce.

That is the same case as Mark posted, smaller without a window. If you order tonight, with a rebate you get it for $10!!!! but it ends tomorrow though, so order quikley!!!

Check this deal out I posted in the Hot Hardware Deals section!!! (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?p=51885#post51885) It is better than the Radio Shack deal. Of course, this only matters if you plan on buying this case. But I thought I should point it out in case you were.

EDIT:

If you don't live near Fry's, you might want to compare it with the shipping cost in mind. I don't know the shipping of either so it might actually not be a better deal... sorry. But since I live very close to both places, I don't have to worry about it.
