Looking for a good mid tower

[turing]

I'm getting ready to build a computer, well more switch parts over from an ideq to a mid tower.
Athl0n 64 3200
1gb pc3200
Sapphire radeon 9800 pro 256
lite on optical
7200 rpm 120gb hdd


I was curious about a few things. First what size power supply would you rec? Keeping in mind that in the future a second hdd and second optical as well as possible sound card would be added. And then also I am wanting to have as quiet of a system as possible, what case would you recomend? I'm looking at spending no more than 200 for case and power supply and any additional fans that I might need to get. I'm hoping for a black case and no windows. I was thinking the Lian Li PC-61 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-112-025&catalog=7&depa=0. Any other ideas or feedback on the Lian Li?

Lian Li is nice, but you are paying extra for any aluminium case, with no advantage other than weight.

The Antec 3700BQE or Sonata both fit your description well. The 3700 has better cooling though, and it's cheaper, so that would be my recommendation. Comes with an Antec 350 PSU that should be adequate for your needs, but you may want to upgrade for more capacity/less noise.

If you want a little large mid tower look at the Chieftec cases. Also check out coolermaster but they can be a bit pricy.

I would get a Chieftec. They are sweet. I have a review at my website of the Chieftech case I got. The link is below. TigerDirect always has good deals on the Chieftecs. 50-60 bucks delivered.

Thank you for all the cases listed, they all look pretty good, a question bout the power supply on the chieftec cases, how quiet is it? And then another question not directly related to the topic, but wha\ich heatsink would you recomend for a quiet athlon 64? I bought the chip oem so it didnt come with a fan/heatsink and im having to return the one im using with the ideq.
