What's the best case for about $75?

[broadwayblue]

I'm putting together a system for the first time (tired of spending too much for systems from gateway) and have never bought a case before. I want it to have at least 3 exposed 5.25" bays (a 4th can be hidden) and 4 3.5" bays (only need 2 exposed.) A 300 watt ps would be sufficient as would 2 fans. I would also like one that I could put wheels on. Oh yeah, anyone know of one that looks good too? Thanks for any help you can offer.

P.S. Don't know if it matters but I'm planning on running an 800MHz AMD processor on an A-bit motherboard.

Fong kai 603, but it only has a 250 watt power supply. The antec sx830 is nice as well and comes with a 300 watt power supply. I'm sure there are others, but those two are the ones that come to mind.

Question is, where can you get one cheap?

I recommend the Antec KS282 from onvia.com. But if you are going to get the Fong Kai, which is good also, then you can get it for $69 at Directon.com.

The InWin Q500 is nice, it's only got one 3.5 external bays (5 internal), but it's got five 5.25, so you can just get a adapter for it.

250 or 300W PSU. Three stock fan mounts (one in front, one in back above PSU, one in back near CPU). The bezel looks really cool too.

It's nearly 2 feet tall though, if size is a problem, than the S500 and the A500 are almost exactly like the Q500, but they're smaller. A is 15" tall and S is slightly taller at 16" 1/2. They both have three 5.25" and four 3.5" (two internal). The A500 only has one stock fan mount, and the S has two. They've all got a cool sliding mobo tray for easy access to the mobo and all cards. Plus, on my Q500, I couldn't find a sharp edge even after looking for it.

Also, if you don't like the look of the bezel, there are also the 600, 700 and 800.

Use Pricewatch to find the lowest price. Shipping hurts bad.

another vote for fk-603 (i have one
they are NICE
got mine with a 300watt PS (upgraded, although it cost a bit more)
also, this case is QUIET: got 2 sunon 80mm fans and my cd-rom works louder than my fans (i have a creative labs)
