Okay, so couple of things I need help with. Budget is $120 absolute max. Guess I will go down the list in order of importance.

1. Need a wireless card for a Precision M90. Prefer internal, but a expresscard will work also (just need to remove the sound card to use it, but that is a decent trade of). What do y'all recommend for a good sound card?

2. Case. Need a decent low cost case for a spare parts build for my sister. She was looking at the 430 elite from CM, but that is junk. I was thinking something like a Source 210 or the like, maybe a rosewill channelger. It does not need much, but the parts going into it are: H61DE/S3 motherboard, 8GB Patriot RAM, a HDD, HD4870, DVD drive, and modstream 600 PSU all matched to a G540 CPU.

3. RCA extenders. Is there such a thing? If so, how do I find them? Need them to clean up the wireing on my speakers, but the cables are about 10 foot short. :(
 
I can't really help you on the other things, but the Challenger is a decent case for the money and has decent cable management features. Another alternative would be the Zalman Z11 or Z11 Plus - also has decent cable management and costs about the same probably.
 
okay, when sis gets home I will show her the Z11 and see what she thinks there. Hopefully it will be good for her.

The wireless card is getting annoying though. Sometimes it will connect, sometimes it is not even detected. I'm going to try my USB and see if it works in linux in a bit. Hopefully that will fix teh issue.

EDIT: Does something like this seem like it would work? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882850062 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0FU0B33268
