what is it with every one wanting to buy crappy plastic cases. this is acidmods!!!! go buy a antec 300 and mod it your self we have an image to up hold.

im being rather harsh, but seriously with computer cases the cheaper you buy your cases the cheaper you get. the cheaper cases will be made of a flimsy steel and the paint will chip easily. just a heads up

also power supply's that come with cases are prone to failure

I would get a decent case and a decent PSU but I'm really strapped for cash, and I can't deal with Celeron anymore.When I get more money I would probably upgrade.

I gotta agreem with tec here
1 the cheap cases that are made to look like a Good case suck
I mean A cheap case with no design is fine they work great for me,but If you want a cool case, spend some more $
2 I used to buy cheap cases, but I bought A antec Case, and It wasnt A mistake, Its really quite nice
3 Dude I wouldnt trust the powersupply, THEY ARE BOUND TO FAIL atleast In a week. Then It could ruin your mobo, blow your hdd, burn leds,fans etc. Its not worth It dude. A psu Is like the Heart of a pc.

i have a generic cheap case but i bought one looked really plain and simple ... Its black with a silver bezel kind of the thing around the front... Looks fine !
Suprisingly the psu which came with it (160 watts) is working very well still ! Its been working fine for the part 6 years !!! Maybe i just got lucky :)
