Gigabyte GA-M55SLI-S4 Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard

eVGA 256-P2-N567 Geforce 7900GT KO Superclocked 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card

Antec SmartPower 2.0 SP-500 ATX12V 500W Power Supply

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Orleans 2000MHz HT 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 Processor

I always use Antec. They have thoughtful design inside, like dull edges (ever cut your fingers on sharp metal?) and solid construction.

However, that RAIDMAX you have there seems to have similar internal precautions and looks really nice...and for $50, I don't see why you wouldn't want it.

I do not like that Spire one though.

I was looking at this Antec on my last build, and this place has it cheap:

$50 or under? I'd look at some of the Evercase cases on Newegg. Still has a pretty respectable rating on SPCRs recommended case list.
