Recommend me a cheap case.

[ArizonaSteve]

Looking for a cheap but good case which will contain the following components:

Antec 550W power supply.
Intel E2200 + ASUS P5GC-MX/1333 motherboard + 2GB.
4650 (I think) video card - will be upgraded to a 3870 X2 once the 2GB 5870's come out.
Raptor 74GB + 400GB data drive.

Looking for a basic case with decent airflow. This is for my girlfriend, so I will get extra brownie points if I can find something that matches her bronze Coach bag (or purple, which is her favorite color)...

Find a pre-owned Antec 2600AMB (I think that's the correct model).
They're kind of a bronze-ish color.
Otherwise, take a look at the Rosewill 56xx series. Very good cases for the money since you already have a PSU.

For utility - Antec 300. It's not as cheap as some, but it's much more sturdy and has excellent air flow.

For looks, maybe something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...?Item=N82E16811226025? Pink case + blue lights = purple? 😛

How cheap you wanna go?

micro ATX case $25

That case is decent. Nothing special, but it does have ventilation in front and a 92mm fan in back. It also takes easily to mods and you can easily cut out the fan grill in back and free up the front mesh by cutting out the plastic backing.
