Its cheaper to buy one with a case, but the ones that are included with cases are usually very low quality. I would advice buying the power supply seperate from the case, as you can get the power supply you want then.

It's cheaper to buy a case with a PSU included, but cheap is exactly what you'll get.
You'll be better off buying a case like this one:

And a power supply like this:

Add a low RPM 120mm fan to the front of the case and you'll have a very quiet start for your new build.
The above parts are the cheapest I'll go when building a system for a client.

if you buy one included (i have done) they come with cheap not very good quaility PSUs, in the future i will be buying a good PSU, not one that is in a case. But i have a Shaw 550W PSU, my brother has got the same and his is over a year old and have no problems.

So depends if you want good quality.

The case you posed the link to does not include a power supply, so are you saying you want to know a good case with a clear side panel or what? Sorry if i dont quite understand what you are asking there.

OK, the link above is good. By a PSU around 600 W or so.

^ FTW. Excellent airflow and absolutely beautiful to look at. The stock images really don't do it justice - try Googling some images and see what you find if you're interested. Won't provide the airflow of an Antec, but if you know what you're doing cooling-wise, it's not a problem.
