Any brand of computer cases particularly good or bad?

[WAZ]

I'm looking to get a new case, and the brands I've seen around are Enlight, Inwin, Antec, Nikao, Avus, some others. I want a fairly inexpensive one ($40-50 tops). Are any of these particularly better or worse than the others? Any specific brand/model recommended?

Thanks in advance!

I have delt with many cases... and found AOpen cases to be some of the best !

i just got the Antec SX1030B a couple weeks ago.
Best case for the price!!

Well, if you spend $40 for a case, expect a Trash power supply. I hope you have a good one to exchange it with.

You can get a descent $50 Inwin case with a good power supply.

I personally wouldn't spend less than $50 for one. I won't risk getting a crappy PS. Inwins use Powermans, which are "ok"

I always wind up using Enlight 7237. They are a nice sturdy well made case, 4 external 5 1/4 bays, and are very reasonably priced.

my vote is for Antec all the way.

I would reccomend the Antec SX1000 case. It is the same as the SX10** series cases just without the powersuppy which will save you about $50. I like it because it has a lockable doors and slide out rails for easy drive removable. Oh and it is made very well.

Thanks for the replies guys. I already have a new Enermax whisper power supply, so I'm ok in that department. I'll look around at some Antecs and AOpens and see what works best for me.
