So I'm moving soon and will take my system's main components with me (under the plane) but will leave behind it's case, monitor and PSU.

So I need a new box but I just hate those dull, sad, white, square ones, however I'm not willing to spend $99 on a new one either, any personal recomendations?

I just need a basic, cool-looking case for a normal Asus-ATX mobo with a 250-300w psu, 2 fans and a few (4) USB ports.

Thanks in Advance.

Peace.

If you want something with a good, reliable power supply included in the case, you're probably gonna spend around $100. You may have better luck getting separate PSU and case.

Good inexpensive PSU...

Compusa has the older Antec Sonata on sale for $65. It includes a solid 380W True Power PSU, and is made to be a quiet case. It is rather plain looking, although it's black. Could check that out.

Check out the Xion Cases at NewEgg. They are a new company but build a solid case. I just received mine for a new build at 64.99 plus shipping, I think they have a model on sale right now too. Very sturdy, lots of room for expansion, and it cools well.
