Good case in the $60 range?...

[prism]

Anyone have recommendations on a nice looking case for about $60 including shipping? I'm looking for something reasonably sturdy and quiet, and I'm not a big fan of windows or lights but it doesn't matter either way.

Thanks for any info.

Werd.

Very nice case, but a little more than I was looking at paying when the shipping's factored in. Plus, will a 350W PSU be enough for a A64 rig with a 9800 Pro?

yeah the 350watt should be fine as long as you don't have a crap load of drives,

and for 60 besides antec thier arn't any quality case with psu. I only spent 40 on my chieftec but I then spent another 60 on my tru430

go for the http://www.techimo.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=313&sort=7&cat=3&page=1

go enermaxlink its $63(+$15 shipping) and comes with a 350watt enermax psu

The Enermax and Antec are both nice combos. Get one if you're going w/ a A64 (you'll pay as much or more for a separate case and PSU). IIRC, when AT did the A64 review, it wouldn't finish booting with a Powmax, which would be indicative of most [cheap] PSUs.

i like the aopen a600a (has 350w PSU) http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-130-142&depa=1

looks nice but it only has (1) 92mm exhaust fan i think, and $120 price

Evercase 42x2 series - make sure the rubber HD isolators come with - they are options and have to be specified by the reseller.
.bh.

 

[Cerb]

What reseller sells them with those things, though? I'd like to get them that way, but haven't found a place, and have had no luck getting ahold of somebody at Evercase by phone or email.
If you go with the Evercase, get one with no PSU, or one with a Sparkle or Enhance. I wouldn't trust the normal 300w one to put up with a good raming rig.

 

[Zepper]

Well, if you can't find an Evercase with the isolators, go with the Compucase 6A19 series or the Antec SLK3700AMB (twins under the skin).

Uses a 120mm exhaust fan. I have one, really nice case that is worth the price. Power supply is a reasonable quality (Aopen "brand," may be rebadged Fortron).

For the original poster, IMO $60 shipped isn't going to get you a nice case with quality power supply. Depending on how picky you are with power supplies, you may have to piece together your own setup. Those Evercase units are nice. Various colors and styles with the same 42x2 chassis that takes a 120mm exhaust fan. Really nice. Would be nicer if someone can find a source for those hard drive grommets, eh?
