Enlight 7237 and InWin S500 are both good. Check out www.directron.com

How about this ATX USB Case w/ 300 Power Supply from Monarch Computers?

4 - 5.25" Bays
2 - 3.5" Bays
2 - 3.5" HDD Bays
300 Watt Power supply
Nickel Plated
USB, Sound and Joystick ports on face plate
On/Off Power Supply switch on front and back
Power supply not approved for AMD Athlon
Compatible with all ATX motherboards

I'll be putting a Celeron in it, not a Athlon (may put a Duron in it later). I've always wanted a case with front USB/sound ports.

This a good case? I don't care about airflow, I'll add extra fans for that.

I recommend the enlight 7237, but i got to warn you. The Enlight PSU's suck

I've had 3 Enlight 7237s, all from Directron, with 300w PSUs and never had a problem with any of them. Perhaps the PSU woes that NoreCNN speaks of was an isolated incident?

Elan Vital T-10, don't know what they cost in the US ($110cdn). They usually come with a 250watt supply, might even be a Sparkle or Zippy in the US, which are good makes. If not, sell it and buy an Enermax or Sparkle. Avoid Antec.

I've had an Enlight 7237 case, it was ok. But now I have 2 Fong Kai cases, a Fk-604 and a Fk-603, and man they really are much better than the Enlight. Better drive bays, sturdier gauge metal, look better, quieter power supply. The 603 comes with a 250w Athlon approved power supply, but you could always substitute for a 330w Enermax or something if you absolutely had to have 300w+. But personally I think the 250w powersupply in the case is higher quality than most 300w's I've used.
