All i ready need is a cheap atx case with a psu that can support some decent p4 1.6A overlocking really. But I don't want any regrets by getting a really fugly, nasty case so I can spring the extra $20 to get a keeper. So I came down to two choices - Raidmax Scorpio 868 silver w/420 watt raidmax psu or Antec SLK2600 AMB w/300 watt antec psu. The antec one is good, but I wouldn't mind having the raidmax's extra aesthetic features instead of the reliability of an antec psu. And I already got 3 antec psu at home, so I can simply swap psu around. So is the raidmax case good? I can get the raidmax for $56 or the antec for $54.

I've got one of these for my main box, and it works just fine. I specifically got it because I could fit a 120mm fan on the front, and has the 2 rear 80mm exhaust ports.

The raidmax case is sturdy and not cheap plastic for the price. I'm just not a big fan of the appearance. I think they make it look really good in the pictures, but in reality it's not as nice. Just my opinion.

It comes in both black and silver. I picked the black - and frankly, hate the getto fab front. My specific purpose was to get the best case available that day for airflow, and this was it.
