Default Case with a lot of airflow
I'm looking for a case that has a lot of airflow and fans. Perferrably a military design(camoflauge perferred, if not all good). Budget is no more than $250 for the case.

I would say antec 1200 has excellent airflow, and is in your price range.

Default case
You could strip the case down an have the it sprayed with a bedliner coating. That would be one tough case!

the haf is sweet! Modding mine right now. Big Lots of big fans and quite. Tough looking too. To paint i would first give it a good sand to take off any clear coat and roughen it up to give the paint something to stick too. But make sure u sand it even. Then wipe it down with paint thinner, not lacquer thinner. Dont touch it after u wipe it, it could leave finger print marks after u paint. Yes the oil from your fingers will leave a print. Now just paint. After u fin painting put a shot of clear, light sand and a final clear. done. That should do it, anybody got some tweaks to my suggestions?

I went from an Antec midtower to the HAF932, working inside it is so much easier and there is a ton of airflow
