I want a new case that has a transparent side panel, because my Antec Sonata iii doesn't have one.

I was wondering if anyone has a reccomendations for a good case that meets these specs.

-Under $50
- Has atleast a 500w PSU
-Transparent side panel

And can fit this motherboard

Also, If anyone knows if someone makes a transparent side panel for antec cases, or can you take the PSU out of the antec case?

*edit*
Would this one work?

Try looking through there for a good case. You can probably find a PSU+case deal. And you could always make your own window. All you need is an acrylic sheet (buy at Home Depot), cutting equipment (buy at Home Depot), something the sand off the metal after cutting, a special type of scotch tape, or plain one, a piece of paper to draw out the cut, and a tube thing to cover up the metal cut. Here's how-to link:

The vids are at the bottom. That's the tape the guy recomends.

**Here is a good looking case that comes with a PSU, and has a window.

You dont want a case that comes with a psu, you want a quality psu, as if a psu fails(which many cheap ones will fail), fail catastropically taking out multiple components.
 
Unless it's the Antec Sonata, which comes with a quality Earthwatt power supply. And if you really love the Sonata, why not just mod your own transparent panel onto it?
 
Hey good advice guys I want to get a new case too.
