Antec Two Hundred V2 could be added.
It's cheap ($20 less than the Three Hundred), about the size of a SOLO, bottom mounted PSU, and if you switch to SSDs you don't need suspension for hard drives.
I like the look of the Three Hundred better but when money is tight it pays to look at your options.
The only wish I have for either case is USB3 & eSATA on the front panel (I'll be watching for Antec to refresh cases for USB3 in the next 6 months)
Oh and buying the Two Hundred or Three Hundred will get you into the dented case lottery as apparently Antec doesn't pack these with enough protection to survive shipping. The QC is slightly suspect as well.
But in perfect condition I'd be willing to mod one of these with some self adhesive vinyl floor tiles and some foam to deal with the thin sheet metal.
