Haf 932 FT about 3 years ago for about 135+ shipping. Still a decent case minus the busted front usb ports cause I tripped over a headphone cable one day and bent/broke something in it lol.

2x Thermalbreak armor Jr about £100 for both
Coolermaster Cosmos S was £120
Silverstone Raven 03 was £95
My current case is selling for $40(USD) currently though I think I paid roughly 50-60$(bought it with a new PSU that's selling for about 70$ so 60$ seems about right). I also can't see myself spending more than maybe 200$ for a case unless I happened to come across a good bit of money to throw at a new build.
I did vote 50-100 though.
I have a Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 from my Pc i built in 2007. I paid around $200 for it back then iirc. This now houses my media server.
Currently have a CM Storm Trooper and i paid $189 for it, great case, good airflow. Nothing bad to say about it. It even has a handle which makes taking it traveling with much easier than the Cosmos.

Got a CM HAF 932(or the mid sized one I don't specifically remember the number and don't have it with my right now) for about 120NZD. So well designed, I can't imagine spending more on a case unless I was doing something really spectacular.
$179 Coolermaster Storm Trooper.

Outfitted with LED Cooler Master fans in all ports, I love it.
I got lucky when HP was closing down Voodoo and was able to get the Blackbird 002 case for around 350$
I spent about $129 on my Cooler master HAF 922.

I'm wondering what those 500+ $ cases are, unless those guys belong to the notorious "fun voters".
There aren't many 500+ $ cases on the market, a few I know are:
Lian Li TYR PC-X2000F
Thermaltake Luxa2 LM300 Touch Pro
Lian Li PC-VX2120X
Silverstone Temjin TJ11
Origenae S16T
Origenae S21T
Thermaltake Level 10 Limited Edition <-- 850 EUR in Germany, that's about 1100 $.
...and a few exotics, like those from Caselabs or Abee.
One of the coolest must be the Murderbox MKII, despite it's rather "retarded" name. Don't know if they already sell these, but price is somewhere north of $ 1000.
There was also a company called Windy which made luxurious PC cases, don't know what happened to them.

Let's see...
1. (2001) No-Name cheap ass case for like 50 DM (yes, that was before the switch to Euros) including leaf blower psu
2. (2003) Chieftec CS-601 (later named "Dragon") in wine red for around 70 €
Case is still going strong, now houses my mom's pc. Obviously can't compare to today's standards of air flow and misses some features (like front usb/audio), but this thing is build for eternity.
3. (2009) Lian Li PC-7FN for 90 €
Now home of my brother's HTPC.
4. (2012) Fractal Design Define R4 for 100 €
Why do something simple, when there is a complicated way?

Fractal Define C | LG 32UK550 | Das Model S Professional Silent | CM Storm Xornet
corsair 600t white edition think it was 160 dolla
It's beyond my imagination why would anyone pay more than 50 €
