I was wondering where I could find a decent cheap case. I know thats usually mutually exclusive but I don't have the budget currently to get a decent case and so I need something to hold me over until I can buy something a little more to my liking. I remember someone posting a link to some site that had a clearance of cases but I lost the bookmark. So any help is appreciated.

Where are you located? Sometimes, local computer stores have great prices on cases. In Seattle area, InfotechNow has many cases under $40. That's where I buy my cases.

If you don't mind doing a little modifications (I personally find it rather fun!), you may want to check out this one. I personally have been having a great time with it! Check out my rig (below). I also went out and got this. My temps went down another two degrees and I also quieted it by half! If you have a Microcenter and a CompUSA by you, you can order cheap and don't have to wait a few days for shipping! Good luck!

How is that case that is on special at Newegg? The link is in the stickied thread in General Hardware. It looks like a decent case, and is only $25...

The metis case isn't too bad, but the PSU is a rebadged L&C - a bottom feeder. With shipping, you're at $40.
So take look at the Athenatech 747 series on newegg. Screwless with a Sparkle PSU - silver and beige models are $55. shipped.

Why don't you buy the Antec 2600 from staples for $60 shipped.
Great case with an Antec 300w power supply included.

If you don't need the p/s sell it for $25-30 and your left with an above average, good looking case.
