The above is a horizontal bandsaw. I'll list a few vertical bandsaws. I'm not sure which you were looking for.

I would not recommend anything smaller than a 14" vertical bandsaw. What thickness and shape of metal do you plan to cut?

I have a 14" Delta model 28-176 that works just fine for cutting aluminum and plastic. It is really more of a woodworking saw, but with the right blade it cuts aluminum just fine. I like the easy adjustments on the blade guides. Make sure whatever you get has easy adjusters on the blade guides.

If you have the money for it, the Wilton Tradesman would really be the model to get, as it's actually designed for cutting metal.

Many people have also said good things about the 4-speed Harbor Freight 67595. I've seen it on sale for $299, and you can use a 20% off coupon on top of that.

If you're looking for something local, Lowes has a Porter Cable 14" that has replaced the Delta they used to sell. While it is 2-speed, it lacks the fine adjustments on the blade guides.
