I just bought a new computer but am in the process at looking for a new case for it. The case I had seemed to stopped working, i.e. computer would not power on so probably the power supply died. Im looking for something stylish but not too expensive, and probably 400W or so. I looking around and found a few site, can anyone tell me if they are good, or give me directions to sites that are good? Im in Ohio, if that helps with finding a place close (to keep shipping down).

Sites i found are:
http://www.upgradecenterinc.com/midsizeatxcase.html
AND
www.electroseller.com

One site sells antec cases the other sells skyhawk.

Check out Enlight.

My brother worked for Symbol Technologies and we used to make our own PCs using cases that they were tossing out. Symbol is a huge bar scanning/wireless company and could use any brand they wanted. They were pretty spartan in appearance but are laid out well and have great PSUs.

Try newegg.com I was ther today and there were some pretty sweet looking cases there in the range of $40 or so. Being Canadian myself, it isn't convenient for me to order any, but for Americans, it makes sense.

Happy hunting.
