Im building a friend a computer, which I am overclocking, and I need a good power supply, not to mention a DECENT case. I dont want to spend much, like more than $80 or so, but it should be good enough to overclock with, so im thinking like a 350W power supply, or will 300 be enough? Im not changing any voltages or anything, sooo...

Antec cases seem to be pretty popular. Is there a good place to buy from where I can get a nice deal?

[the idea here is to save as much money as possible on this system so i can keep more profits :)]

first off, i bought a chieftec case for a friend.

Basically chieftec makes cheap knockoffs of antec cases, BUT EXCELLENT quality for half the cost!

Nowadays I buy all my computer stuff from Newegg.com. You will be pleasantly surprised to find generally the best prices on just about everything. Orders generally come within 3-4 days business.
Everything is shipped like its ready to survive a war. Never worry about something breaking during delivery, unless fedex screws up.

They have a wonderful chieftec full tower case, white $48 and $49 black. Top quality and very modular. check out the pics on the site.

Have fun! you wont be disappointed.

Chieftec's aren't "cheap knockoffs of Antecs". These cases are all built by the same company, as are the Enermax "SX1030 clones". All Antec does is put in their own Antec branded PSU and an Antec case badge.

The case that Oneiric linked is a fine case but it doesn't have a PSU. You might want to spend $20 more and get the version with the 420 watt PSU. It's a Channelwell PSU which are perfectly fine. This is the same PSU as the 412 watt Antec PSU. Antec rebadges their PSUs, also.
