    Any recommendations for an inexpensive case?

    I am having a very tough time finding a P4 case that is:

    1. Inexpensive
    2. Comes WITH power supply
    3. Has side window

    What cases do you guys recommend? I got at most $110 or so (includes shipping) to purchase this case. Any ideas or suggestions?

    Thanks

    I would buy an Antec Lanboy. Its a cramped case but it does have a side window and a 350watt PSU. Its a trusty antec psu with a wellbuilt case to match. the only complains i have heard about the case is that its cramped, which makes sense since it is meant for toting around to lan parties. it can be purchased for $83.00 at newegg.

    are some more cases. Just make sure that the exhaust hole for a fan will hold at least an 80mm.

    Don't get a premod case with 60mm exhaust holes.

    most any of the antecs are good picks. and if you like one that doesn't come with a window, you can usually buy a window panel directly from antec.

    or you could also get a chieftec with a window for a lot less, and get an antec or enermax PSU separately. all totaled, you'd probably come in right around your budget. if you don't go for the lan boy, that would probably be your best buy.
