Such a thing as a decent $50 case w/PS?

I am starting to get some parts for my 13yr old daughters pc and I really dont want to spend $100 on a case. Ideally I would like to spend $50 and have a PS in it already but I fear the PS will probably be junk. This wont have any massive draws on the PS. Just going to be a good basic AMD 2800+ and a FX5200.

Anyone have any experiences with cheaper cases that are decent? Its really hard to tell how good the cases are at ZZF and Newegg in the pics.
Thx!
 
Such thing...yes

A decent one...no

I guess the closest would be the Antec Sonata for around $80 if i'm not mistaken. The airflow isn't topnotch, but the 380w PSU is fine, and it is also quiet and seems to look decent.

I think the sonata usually goes for $100, but evey couple months you cn get a $30 rebate on it, bring ing it down to $70-ish

 
This one at directron.

Quality Enermax 300W power supply. Won't have any real headroom for upgrades, but it's a good case with room to work with and a removable motherboard tray.
