Default Looking for a sturdy, reliable mid tower case

Alot of the cases reccomended in the Cases 101 thread are no longer there, and i always need a second opinion or a reccomendation when i get pc parts, so does anyone know of the best case i could get with the budget in the range of $50-$80?

When i order a PC case from Newegg.com, does it include the fans that it shows in the pictures? Or do i have to order the fans seperately?

I was leaning towards the Antec Nine Hundred series, but i was thinking the price was a bit high, but i was also considering getting into overclocking with my new PC, and i have read that the 900 series is really good for OCing, is this true?
