Any Quality Cheap Cases?

Hi, I pretty much have my system components set in stone, the one exception is possibly my case + psu. I'm basically trying to find the cheapest possible case anywhere online that also comes with a good "midrange" psu.

As of now I am planning on building with a black Athenatech case that comes with a 400w, dual 12v rail at effective 25a. Price shipped will be $71 usd.

Does anyone know of any specific computer cases that MIGHT fit the bill? If so, I would greatly appreciate any names...even just general brand names if nothing else. Thanks.
 
Thanks for the reply, I indeed know of the Sonata 2. If I had a little more money to spend, I would definitely get that, and I still might.

I am however still looking for any more suggestions. If anyone knows of anything, please let me know. Thanks.

Known cases: Antec Sonata 2 + other Antecs, Logisys A51, Athenatech one in my sig, Apex Tu-150.
 
In general the psu's that come stock in cases are relatively cheap, I actually just built a computer in this case yesterday and it worked great, tooless 5.25" drives removable 3.5" tray, and its nice and sturdy. Pair it up with this psu and you will be good to go.
BTW sparkles, at least what I have heard, have a good reputation for making quality psu's, so you should be good and 350 watts should be plenty.:P
 
Thanks for all of the replies people, appreciate it. I am now changing my request a little bit. I am looking for the cheapest possible case and psu combo that both looks decent (I know, opinion) and the psu being at least 350 watt with decent 12v amperage. They can either be sold individually or together, doesn't matter.

It should be possible to get both for under $55usd or so shouldn't it?
 
Thanks for the bump smelly. You seem to be the only person who doesn't know what I'm trying to get at. Anyway, you're a little late with your comment...the best time for that one would have been about post #2.
 
i just bought a xion, cost me 49.99 from microcenter and it came with 2 fans, and a 450w power supply, its working very well

Sorry, I'm just joking around :)
