Hello,

I've upgraded my computer to new mb,cpu,mem ... and now I have spare Abit KT7-Raid/1024MB sdram/Duron 600 :)

I was thinking about building a server out of this .... anybody know of a good, cheap case with nice power supply ?

don't really need a fancy case, alreayd got my Antec , and love it :)

but this one will be under my bed in dorm room, so, nothing fancy :)

thx:)

Sounds like you have the makings for a LAN box!
I've recently started using this Enermax case when building systems for people. It has a simple clean design and it's more than just a beige box.
The $67 listed price there is fairly high for that case, but they also include an Enermax 330W fan control PSU which would probably be nice if you're sticking it under your bed. :)

Here's another nice case that comes with a 300W Enhance power supply for $47. Some website sell just that power supply for $47...

Any of those cases ought to get the job done. Cheaper cases tend to have lower quality (thinner) sheet metal and possibly sharp edges. They also usually come with cheaper power supplies, use sleeve bearing fans, etc.
I'd probably go with the Chenbro case from my second link just because I'm partial to Enhance power supplies. Can't really go wrong with any of 'em though since a Duron 600 isn't the most demanding of CPUs. ;)
