Looking to change up my case, my current one is ugly w/no cable management. Any suggestions for 150 and lower?

NZXT Phantom 410 if you want something futuristic-ish
Silverstone tj08-e is my choice for matx builds. If you are going mitx, I would probably go with the lian li q-08. For mid towers, there's a new arc midi v2 with window.
i just bought a bitfenix shinobi window, really nice little case and has pretty good cable management!
Hey guys I recently got a case by diablotek and my front panel snapped off. Do you guys have any cases that would be just a similar. My current case came with 4 fans and was around $40
WintersunCM Storm Scout
I use the CM Scout 2. Its amazing. great cable management and has a nice window.

Switch 810 if you can spring for it. Phantom full tower, Phantom 410 are good. Lian Li have the best overall quality, but highest price. Fractal cases are good. I'm a fan of Coolermaster and Corsair as well. Any case under 150 will "perform" as good as the next. The thing you're looking for is features and the best bang/buck is NZXT. Best overall is Lian Li, Fractal or Corsair probably.
What do you want out of a case? Most people want silence and thermal efficiency, without compromising ease of installation too much.

Silverstone / Antec are on top, with Antec having slightly better price/performance. Fractal makes decent cases but their design ideas are mostly copied from Antec and implemented in a somewhat inferior way (their materials aren't as sturdy and therefore the cases are more prone to resonating issues). Lian-Li is even worse, most of the times. The aluminum which those cases are made of aren't really helping in terms of acoustics, and their cases are very expensive.

Good thermals, cable management, and something sleek and simple is what I'm looking for, maybe some room for a water block in the future c:
