You want to spend $150 on a computer case?!
I guess you want one of those ridiculous computer cases with all the flashing lights and other unneccecary stuff.
In that case (no pun intended), I can't help you.
For a regular case, I'd suggest one with a 400 watt or better power supply, front USB and sound jacks, and a case that allows you to mount a fan at the rear of the case. A rear mounted fan provides better cooling than a front mounted fan.
Take the money you saved and buy a new game. Trust me, nobody's gonna be impressed with some flashy case...especially the people on the Internet who can't see it!

Chieftec Dragon Server Case
Chenming Entry Level Server Case
They're both pretty much the same thing.
The steel ones are $25 cheaper. I use an Aluminum one I got from http://www.Voyeurmods.com. It looks like they no longer sell it, but have something similar at http://www.voyeurmods.com/index.php?action=item&id=2252&prevaction=category&previd=3&prevstart=0
I'd also recommend some of the cheaper Lian-Li Cases.

I was going to suggest a few cases I like; but as I have no idea what your taste or needs are I decided to just give you a link to a good article of recommended cases.

They list quiet cases in a variety of sizes and styles so you should be able to find something you like or at least give you some ideas.

if you are getting a 64 bit processor... you'll need something that will stay cool (btw... that stuff doesn't come with the case!).... cooler master offers good cases that stay cool and are pretty cheap (price wise)... also easy to install stuff!
