Im lookin to replace my Antec 282 with a black case with a 300 watt PS. Anyone have any reccomendations?

I dont wanna spend too much, and i found an Antec 1030B for $79+shipping at EMSComputing.com

Thanks in advance...

Is that price without PS too?
On a related topic I painted my antec case the other day to black, found out about this paint @ arstechinca, very cool stuff. I pulled it all apart, painted it in one evening and put it together the next day, looks flawless really.

Sorta sucks for me though. That company is located less than a mile away from me but they dont offer any Pick-Up options... I have to pay almost $20 to ship the freakin thing UPS ground. I think ive urinated father than this place is from me. DAMNIT :)

Daniel: Quick Question. What type of paint did you use? did you remove the beige color first with paint remover? and where on Arctechnica.com did you see that? i cant seem to find anything about painting.. Thanks...

It was a thread in the case and cooling forum, the paint I got from pep boys was called ultra vinyl color, it's here so its made for the bezels and front plastic but it worked fine on my metal side panels too.

Why would you want to paint the 1030b to black when it's already (charcoal) black? Or are you referring to the non-black version?

I bought my 1030b at emscomputing. I LOVE THIS CASE!! I bought new black monitor, kb, and mouse from Dell. All black here I come! :D

I think he is referring to if he doesn't buy the new case and just paints his old one.
