Help with Value Case Selection

I'm putting together a value system to upgrade my current WAY obsolete system (can you say Celeron 433...ugh) while I work on another more robust system. The problem is that I'm pretty light on case knowledge and my current rig has a micro tower (#@$#% microATX) so I need a new ATX tower with a new power supply.

FYI, here's what I'm thinking for current rig.

Athlon XP 1700+ $63.00 w/ heatsink and fan
MSI KT3 Ultra2 $77.00
256 MB Corsair C2 DDR333 $90.00
Daimond V770 Riva TNT2 32MB AGP (from current system, yes I know its antiquated, but it still plays most games and I'm saving $$ for my new rig).
CD-Rom (old rig)
HD (old rig)

So I'd like a value (not neccessarily cheapie, cheap) case that comes with a power supply. Even though the rig itself is chep, I'm not averse to spending a little extra for a case and p.s. that will see many a system. Suggestions?
 
Gotta love Antec. <$100 buys you a well-designed case with a great power supply. Of course, it's built like a Sherman tank and weighs that much, too. But I'm always impressed with the quality.
 
I've seen some hot deals lately involving Antec cases with SmartPower that are being replaced by Antec cases with TruePower....any on-line places clearing out their inventory or is this more of a B&M phenomonon, have to check out my local BB, I live in the boonies, so they may actually have some overstock to get rid of 🙂
 
I just ordered an Antec case, a solution series with smart power psu. It was $88 including shipping. The power supply is supposed to have a good reputation for quality, and the case - apart from looking really good is supposed to be good quality also.Antec solution series
I think shipping is cheaper from newegg.com than googlegear.com
