130-160 €
No, it's not cheap but provides superior cooling and *should* fit your graphics card (i guess you mean GTS 250?), your range goes up to 150€?

I think you mean gts 250. Or gtx 260. *shrug*

Anyways, I just ordered antec 300 off newegg w/ free shipping. Could be a bit small for what you're looking for, but seems good enough.

Well, take it. You wont need to upgrade that case in at least 3 years. Since the 150 € you mentioned in your first post seem to be your upper limit (?), it's only 10 € above that.

The case doesn't only look cool, it is. 3 intake fans, 3 exhaust fans (one of them being 20cm big, on top). Everything in blue LEDs. Dust filters. Preparation for water cooling etc etc etc.
