Looking for a good value case

[Bona Fide]

Hey, I was finalizing my component list when I realized that with my current part outfit, I have no room for an Antec P180 and a Truepower 2.0 PSU. So, I'm going to go a little below that. I'm thinking the Smartpower 2.0 and ______ case. I've looked at these so far:

- Coolermaster Centurion 530
- Antec P160
- Aspire X-Navigator (comes with 500W PSU)
- Tt Tsunami Dream

Of these [or any others you might suggest] what would be the best one to get?

The Thermaltake Tsunami Dream (windowed) or the Antec p160

Tsunami Dream @ $70 at CompUSA.

Antec SLK3000B is well designed for quietness and airflow. The SLK3800B is the SLK3000B with a 400W SmartPower 2.0

After reading reviews about the Tsunami, I'm not so sure about it. AT's review said that it was overly cramped, and they couldn't even get the front connectors to work. I'd prefer working front connectors. The P160 is also out of the question because I wanted to make it $150 with the PSU...that seems impossible unless I cheap out on the PSU as well. The leaves the X-Navigator (looking good) and the Centurion. Wobble, thanks for the recommendation, I'll take a look. 🙂

I think their PSU was a bit big to fit it. I'd go check out fry's and see the actual cases before picking.
