Case Suggestion For New System

[spacelord]

I am building a new system. Quick overview: it will be Opteron 165 overclocked with 7800GT Vid Card and 2GB of ram.

My last build I went "fancy" with an aluminum case with a window and lighting. This time I just want a good functional case with enough room to get around in and good cooling.

How about this one for $49 + $19 s&h ??
Antec Solution SLK3000-B Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail

Any other good suggestions I should consider?

Also, as long as I'm posting.. the Opteron is OEM so I was thinking of a $25 or so Arctic Cooling HSF. I havn't researched that much yet.

Thanks!

That's a good case, but... budget? There are some cases that might be considered to be better, but they cost more.

I like the antec p180's!

This may be heresy here, but I just picked up an ultra case, free after rebate from Tigerdirect. Of course, they jacked the price by $20, but at $20 plus shipping, it's still quite a nice case, for $20 less than you're talking. Lowered my load temps by 4C, and is a very nice, clean case, with smooth corners and no rough edges at all.

The Antec SLK3000-B case is cheaper from Provantage. Link

Budget is under $100 delivered for sure.. but the lower the better. anything under the $60-$70 mark gets kudos.

Thanks for the link to Provantage! Anyone order from them? will it ship quickly if I order from them?
