Inexpensive Case

[tboneuls]

I'm looking for an inexpensive case to use to house some parts I have. I don't want to spend too much, but I don't want a piece of junk. I've seen some cases on NewEgg with handles, but they look flimsy and some of the reviews aren't too good. Basicly, I want a case that isn't too expensive, preferably includes a PSU, and a handle/strap for LAN parties would be a plus. Thanks.

How much is your budget? Keep in mind that cheap cases normally come with equally cheap PSUs too - which is bad news

You won't get cheap and good with handles and straps.
A cheaper Antec...buy straps.
A Evercase e4252...buy straps.
Enlight whatever (but not 7101)...buy straps.
cheapo deal-of-the-day and then a Fortron/Sparkle/Enhance PSU...then get straps.
...etc.
You're wanting something that just does not happen for under $80, and maybe not even then. You can get sets of straps for mid-towers...I don't recall where, but search and you shall find...or you could even make a rig for one, or find a backpack or something it will fit into.

Antec LANBoy is pretty cheap, well built and has a very good power supply and comes with a carry strap.

And you don't mention whether you have an ATX or microATX mobo. Or whether you need room for full height cards, etc. Is this the psychics forum now...

I am saying this from experince, that door wont last for more than 4 lan parties. My case looks like several astriods hit it... This thing is THIN. I'd recommend a real Antec case
