I found this case and I like how it looks and the features it has http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146038, I has wondering if this is a reliable brand because i have never heard of them? Also if you have any suggestions for cases around $100 please post them.
Is this a good case?

antec 900- the default for gaming cases
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021&cm_re=antec_900-_-11-129-021-_-Product
thermaltake v9 black very similar in look to the 900 but with more features, such as; tooless drivebays, built-in standoffs, and red fans
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133074&cm_re=thermaltake_v9-_-11-133-074-_-Product
i personally own the v9 and i love it, i think it is way better then the primitive technology in the 900, but if you dont like red leds then you can get the 900 (which has blue leds), which is also a good case for the money.

NZXT make fairly good cases. The Lexa is certainly a nice looking case but its not worth the money.
The antec 900 is a bit cramped inside and if anything, go with the newer antec 900 two which has improved on things the original one lacked.
The new standard for gaming cases are the Cooler Master HAF series. The HAF 922 which is a mid-tower has the best airflow when coupled with the side panel fans. Its also fairly roomy for a mid-tower and is top quality. I have the HAF 932 and i love it, i would definitly recommend the HAF 922.
The NZXT tempest used to be the airflow king. That is also a fairly good case but some say that it isn't of the best quality. Its big though and is e-ATX certified and will probably fit all GPU cards

My previous case was the NZXT Lexa edition and from my personal experience I can safelly say it's a great case with very good airflow. Ow, and lots of flashy lights
I also liked how they added the temperature monitoring screen on the case, It's a nice addition. It also has tons of positive reviews on lots of tech sites.
But I agree with Pew Pew about the price tag, it's a bit to steep.
You can get better cases for around the same price.
+1 on the HAF suggestions, I have it and absolutelly love it.
Given the style of the case you posted, my guess is you won't follow my advice, but I'm giving it anyway 
Go look at some Lian-Li cases. They are very well built, and many have good cable management and hard drive mounting solutions. I know they look very plain jane in the pictures, but they are well built, and worth the price. I put my rig in a $50 cooler master, and then instantly realized why my friend only buys Lian-Li.
