Which Case?

[Wnh5001]

Okay i am thinking about these two cases:

Rosewill R114A Black

Or
Aspire X - Gear - Black

im planning to put in :

ASRock 939Dual-SATA2
AMD Athlon 3200 Venice
Pny 6600 GT
1 HD
1 DVD-RW

If you think these two cases are not right for my setup maybe u can suggest some that is within my budget of 35-55, preferably black colored.

I wouldn't buy either. The PSUs that come with them just aren't up to snuff. Newegg and Dealsonic are usually selling some Skyhawk (sometimes mistakenly spelled with a space in the middle, "sky hawk") MSR series aluminum cases at a bargain. Once you've got that, locate a decent PSU on eBay, in FS/T here etx. Don't skimp on the foundation of your computer system, the PSU.

Raidmax X1 FTW. Got great reviews on anandtech. Im going to have it in by atleast Wednesday and will transfer stuff along with a new Seasonic S-12 430 next weekend. Got it from newegg $66 shipped. However i replaced the normally noisy 120mm fans that came with it with some Aerocool Extreme Turbine 2000's and left the 80mm fan that is going to some with it. I may replace it as well if it is too noisy. Will have to see. I will let you know how it turns out.

God they're like the same case...

And I would get neither. If you want something for that price, might as well get a classic Antec series case that comes with a good PSU, which will probably end up saving you money in the long run. Raidmax and Aspire PSU's are unreliable and those two cases aren't that good either, so you'll eventually run into problems.

Me, neither. If I want lights, I'll add them. I don't think I would ever buy a pre-lit case...

okay i thought it over, and i guess the side opening with a clear window, and led lights are uneccessary so i found the antec solution black slk 1650 b @chief for 71 shipped or so.

I wouldn't get either. They are too cheap to be well built. The metal on them is likely so thin that it will bend if you look at it the wrong way. PSU's will be crap.

The 1650 is a nice little case. Looks like they put a modern PSU in there that should handle your system just fine.
