Antec 660 with true power 330W. Large mid-tower with great cooling, almost silent power supply. The true power supply is the gem of teh deal, but the case is great also. The Antec 680 comes with a 430W power supply if the comments scare you into a bigger ps.

I agree with Soldat about buying cases and PSU's separately and getting what you really want. Having had two Enermaxes, though, IMHO they're not so great--just not that quiet. People do seem to really like the new Antec True Powers, but I haven't bought one.

Aluminum cases are really too expensive for all intensive purposes, and unneeded too. Just find a nice Antec or Inwin case and you'll be a cappy hamper. On the PSUs, if the one supplied with the case isn't up to snuff, I throw it onto eBay and find a better one. I recommend Antec once again (who sells a 400w PSU for $64 on NewEgg.com) and Enermax as well.
