Quality ATX case shipped for < $60

[leegroves86]

I'm looking into buying a cheap computer case for my brother's computer. I would like to have a good case shipped from newegg for 60 or less AND it has to come with at least a 350W PSU.

I know PSU that come with cases are usually junk so i'm not expecting the PSU to last long but I want the case to.

It will have these parts:
Asus A7N8X-E mobo
XP 2500+ Barton
CDRW
80 gig HDD

P.S. The case has to have sidewindow

No Centurion with a PSU for that kind of money. Athenatech A600 series!

Look on ebay. There is a guy who sells centurion 5s by the hundreds. I got mine for a penny (Plus $30 shipping) and it is brand new in the factory box. The one I got has a window and came with a 350w PSU. I personally didn't use the PSU and gave it to my brother, but when all of them are the same price, I thought I would get mine loaded.

There's nothing on right now, but watch for the user "coolerplanet" and what he's selling.

Yes, the 6A19 from directron is a great choice too and it is available in black w/silver from Directron as well as the beige linked above. See http://www.coolcases.com for some of the tricks they do with that case. It is the same as the Antec SLK3700-AMB/SLK3000-B on the inside and the HEC is a very sturdy 300Watter. Since the Asus mobo you are using is an old style without the P4 connector to power the CPU, the rails are rated properly for that system. Perhaps you could send the side door of the 6A19 off to coolcases and have them put a window in for you after saving a bit of money up.
. Sorry but you aren't going to get a decent case AND a decent PSU (the Athenatech has the Sparkle budget line, the Compucase has the Heroichi (HEC)) AND a side window for the money you're talking unless you try places like dumpinggoods.com (which doesn't have a very good rep.). Perhaps you could get a window kit down the line and DIY.
