You know. I've given up on cheap cases. I used several for many years (one in particular was a $50 (I think) rocketfish full tower from best buy. But after replacing it with a $125 lian-li it is hard for me to go back. It isn't that I care much about 'quality' as much as ease of use. I have 8 drives in this case and when I have to muck with it I want to be able to access the drives with min effort. The only thing I dislike is that i have to take off both sides (one side has the sata cable the other to pull or re-seat the drive). I'd prefer a design that gave me easy access removing just one side (it isn't the thumb screws vs three; but pulling the case out to access the other side). Hum. With the rocketfish the drive bay access was missery. To be honest my older antec steel case - it predated the 180 had better drive bays - i cant' remember the details of the cabling but I do remember being very impress with the overall design - even after 8 years. Only negative was weight - never a steal case again. Misserable to think i've been dealing with cases for over 20 years. I think my most expensive case has been $140.

EVGA BT Series 100-BT-0450-K1 450W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Non-

$21.99 + $5.99 ship

Newegg on ebay

450W 80Plus Bronze EVGA PSU, NEW, for ~$28 shipped, not too bad.

There were a few more "new" EVGA PSUs on Newegg ebay site that were of a larger wattage, that may or may not be deals. Most of them were $45+, so I didn't list them here.

That rebate expires today! Buy it while it's hot, people!

(Limit one rebate per household / person.)

One of these days I should replace my 7 year old seasonic but who knows maybe it will last 15 years ? Thing is that I only buy platinum. Think we will see one this black friday on this thread ? I think last year seasonic had one for $80 that magic friday.

http://www.frys.com/product/9274239#detailed I ordered one of these using google express. 20% off my first order that knocked it down to 44 shipped after tax and hopefully they will accept my rebate and make it 34 shipped.

I finally got around to installing all my crap into this thing and for the most part its just fine. The main issue is my psu https://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod...U2wTxlVbaeoCZ5naX_BoCRI0QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds . Its a super tight fit. The cables have to be on before the psu goes in. I need to get something else before it all goes together and I'm not sure if I can get the bga side of the case back on over the mobo/psu cable.

Lots of good cases for Cheap at NewEgg. I think they all have free shipping.

I picked the No Rebate ones for the most part.

I like the first one since it has top venting

NewEgg has a decent deal on Corsair PSUs...$10 off, plus a $20 rebate (I know many hate rebates, but the net result is a decent gold 750W PSU for $69.
