Suggestions needed for case easy for first computer build

I'd like a case that is very easy to work with for building my first computer; doesn't have to be the least expense, but not trying to pay any more than is necessary. Any suggestions?
 
Antec makes some very nice Cases w/ great PSUs. Nice roomy mid tower with a 350w psu should do the job just nicely.
 
Sorry, I didn't provide sufficient info. I have a pc power and cooling 400w power supply so just need a case. I'm intersted in a case I would like a removable motherboard tray and front usb ports.
 
Here's a nice case that has what you want (motherboard tray, front usb): Link
They also have it without the window you want to save some money. Besides the black one I linked to, its also available in white or silver. Can't beat the price too.
 
Removeable mobo trays are becoming a thing of the past, hard to find. It's not a big deal with modern psu placement, horizontal at the top of a tower case. Visit www.antec-inc.com and check out their offerings, particularly the VAR line, w/o psu's. A SX600II would likely suit your purposes well- excellent stout case with great cooling and features. Then do a Google search to find a vendor, check 'em out on resellerratings.com...

If you just can't live w/o the mobo tray, then your options are limited to mostly high end aluminum, maybe a few of the inwins (do not buy an A500!) and the 758A from A-Pro. I haven't personally used one of these, but they're obviously stout (1.2mm steel), big, well ventilated and have the tray you want... very plain-jane....
