Inexpensive Case

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.
 
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...

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

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 🙂
