Decent Case w/quality psu?

[CubicZirconia]

I'm putting together a system for my mom and I need a cheap case for it. It needs to have at least 2 external 3.5" bays, preferable 4 5.25" bays, and then another 2 or 3 internal 3.5" bays. It would be nice if it had front USB too. Any suggestions?

An Asus A7N8X and a Barton 2500+ will be going in it, so I suppose the psu should be decent enough too. This case is getting more expensive everytime I think about it.

I'm looking to spend ~50 dollars, maybe a little more

now really, does your mom need an asus a7n8x and a barton 2500+? dont moms just generallycheck email and crap? that dont require that much juice.


however, i can vouch for the dynapower metis black. but for that system, you'll probably want to replace the power supply with an antec or sparkle.

i suggest you don't cheap out all that much, cases last through several upgrades. even good cases aren't that expensive.

My mom's been in the computer business 20 years and wants something high quality. She probably uses her computer more than you do. That said, since I have most of the parts needed besides the mobo/cpu/ram, I wouldn't save much by getting something slower. The setup is only costing me ~300 bucks anyway.

Any specific suggestions? I was looking at Antec's because I know they have quality power supplies, but I was wondering if there might be something a little bit cheaper available (that would still be able to handle the system I'm putting together).

110 bucks is more than I want to spend. I was hoping to get something for around 50.

Thanks for the suggestion. Now if only shipping wasn't 15 bucks.
