I need a case recommendation!

I'm planning on building a new system, but am not sure as to which case I should get. I'm looking for something rather cheap and easy to work in. I'm not planning to mod it or anything, I just need a simple case. This is what i plan to put in it so far:

AMD TBird 1Ghz
MSI K7T Turbo
256 Crucial PC133 SDRAM

if you could link any reviews, that would be really appreciated.
 
Check HardOcp occasionally, thats where I got this link to a review. $47 is pretty good for a case with a removable mobo tray.

This is for my next box:

Here is a mid priced case (well compared to the case I want 🙂 )

I would recommentd Antec, as well as InWin. Keep in mind that for an athlon you need good airflow for your heatsink to be really effective, especially if you overclock.
 
There's a similar thread going on around here with the same topic. Look for the Enlight 7237 for value, or the Antec 830x or 1030x if you have some money to spend. The FongTek FK-302 was also mentioned as a contender.

Personally I like the Enlight 7237, good size, 4 5.25" bays, adequate cooling, cheap, etc.
