Well, it depends on a few factors like how big of a case can you have. Plus, a case you going to use for gaming doesn't necessarily have to be the most expensive or awsome looking case (unless you want the looks too). You can find mildly priced cases that have excellent air flow and will work perfect. A case that has a duct from the side right to the processor is usualy good to keep it cool under loads when gaming; one with another fan blowing right over your PCIe card (or AGP, which I don't know why you'd use that for a gaming rig anyway, but who knows ) is also really good too. Just look around on newegg for some mid-atx and full-atx size cases; there's literally TONS to choose from.

i have the antec 900, its a great case. it has very good air flow and alot of space. but when i first built my setup in it, the p4 power cable of my antec psu wasnt long enough to reach the slot since the psu is mounted in the botom of the case. so you need to consider on a psu with a long enough p4 cable. the good thing about the psu mounted in the botom of the case is that it doesnt block the heat rising towards the top 200mm fan and so there is a better air flow. but with that much air flow and that many fans in the case also have its bad, alot of dust accumulates on the front of the case where the 2 hdd fans are. So you often need to clean there and inside the case since those fans sucks alot. anyways i went watercooling to cool down my super oced cpu.

That case is $100, any cheaper that look similar to that. Im in the same situation going to build a computer, but the cases seem so expensive and some come with power supply already. Which is a good one besides that, that is black. Im sure the $20 cases do not have fans everywhere mounted like the antec.

this is an excellent "no tools" case that's $50 bucks. When I recently put together a new PC I used this case and was happily surprised by the quality for $50 bucks.
