Sure you could get a cheap case, but is that the best value? I have a SuperMicro SC-750 case, which is just a rebadged Addtronics 7986A. I've had it for about 5 years, with 4 or more motherboard upgrades. With a Sparkle 300Watt, it cost me $165 at the time. But, it's been 4 or 5 years I've had it now.

Get an antec 1080 B II. It comes with a good power supply (400W antec) and can be had for around $99 Shipped. Great value.

I think the Antec SLK2600AMB. It's a excellent sturdy case and provides you with the great Antec PSU's. The PSU alone costs at least 30 dollars and 30-40 more for a case is not too bad.

Might want to check out the black evercase models from Newegg, particularly the one with the Enhance psu. Dunno about the "Ever" branded psu's, but the Enhance 1125 is decent, if noisy....

I got an Enermax case that came w/ a 330w Enermax PSU that's an Antec/Chieftec clone for $96 + 15 shipping......Very sweet case and PSU!
