Does that make sense?

Im digging around trying to find nice solid mid-tower cases for a bunch of PC (by parts) tat I am ordering for our office.
I know the guts I am getting, I just cant narrow down a nice case to put em in.

Mid-Tower w/ PSU.
Nothign overly flashy please, just has to be nice solid construction becuase if the powers the be see a tin can sitting on the flow they will think its a piece of junk no matter WHAT is inside.

Newegg.com preferred.

THANKS!
 
Athenatech 503 or 747 series (I'd also recommend the new 445 series if they weren't using L&C PSUs in 'em - the other series use fortron/sparkle budget line). Evercase 4252 series. Enlight cases are always good in business settings - design keeps casual snoops from getting inside. AOpen are solid with good (usually rebadged fortron/sparkle) PSUs. And Inwin is another top choice of system integrators that also use rebadged fortron/sparkle PSUs.
.bh.
There's the :sun: ! Have a :beer: .

 
Go with an Antec or an Inwin. Both are solid, the Antecs generally having better workability features, both having solid power supplies...

The Antec sx630's are an excellent choice, as are the slk2600amb's- slightly smaller. If you're using matx boards, the Inwin v508 or v523 works great... good psu's, smaller size.
 
I know I already threw in my recommendation for the Plus660AMG or SX635II and harped repeatedly on the three-year warranty and dual dual-ball-bearing fans on the PSU, with an eye toward year-after-year longevity 😀 but if you did want a microATX case, here's another Inwin V-series variant: Isn't it cute? 🙂 Eat your heart out, Dell!

Check it out... it's got
  • a card reader, a nifty dodad that you can point out as proof that your build is not just another beige clone
  • Front audio, front USB 2.0 port, front Firewire port... more fancy goodies for your people to be awed by 😀
  • black & silver color scheme, will look sharp with black drives (no multi-shades-of-beige thing going on)
  • 80mm exhaust fan, and an inlet duct to the CPU location
  • and most importantly to me for easy future repairability, it can take a standard ATX PSU if the PSU kicks the bucket, and it comes with a 250W Powerman unit
