Best small inexpensive case

Yes, antec 300 fits regular ATX as well as mATX. Still trying to look for a cheap mATX case for you, but neweggs's kind of slow right now.

Can the same be said for the skeleton? Thanks for looking! :)

EDIT: NVM... just looked at the Antec website and it says it can. Funny, newegg says different. :P

Ok, here we go. I personally like these two one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147127 $25

They are extremely small and will only fit mATX, not standard sized ATX. They are essentially the same internally, but looks a little different on the outside. You can add your own fan at the front for an intake, and the back is an exhaust. Nice airflow, and keeps everything cool for under $30.

Thanks... I'll probably get the first one. And since that $10 off with PSU deal is the PSU I was going to be getting anyway it's basically a $10 case.
 
It's a nice case, but I wouldn't recommend that PSU. 13A and 14A on each rail is a joke. There are better deals of if you wait for sales, you can get a much better quality one. Unless you want to put in a little more for the PSU and get one now.

Nah! I have that PSU myself and it's quite nice. :)

Also look at the CM Elite 340, it's around $40, but it's actually a nice little case.

Thanks, but it's not my money and my job was to get the best rig I can for the money, so I think I'll stick with the Rosewill case. :)

It's only nice right now because you haven't seen any problems. Try OC'ing a quad core or put in a decent video card with that PSU powering everything. It'll take down your whole system.

But it's gonna be running a Dual-Core CPU with internal graphics. It's not supposed to be a gaming rig... it's a music studio computer. :)

I've been running the HIPRO HP-E4009F5WR for a long while now, and haven't had any issues.. I'd recommend it over that rosewill PSU if you're on a budget.

I originally bought mine as a temporary solution, but it's been running strong for over a year, so I haven't had a reason to replace it :o
