What case should I get?

[donshuggin]

I am building a PC from scratch for hobby-level video production and gaming. So far I have a P4 processor and an ATI Radeon 8500 video card. I plan to run usual stuff: 2 HDs, CD/DVD burner(s), sound card, and 512+ DDR. I want this all to work nicely in a tower. I dont know what mobo I will be using. My question is, what case should I get? Something crazy on ebay? I like the window/neon approach; however, I am not well informed in this area. Tips/recommendations are appreciated! Thanks!

The "standard" Chenming 601/602 is a very solid case all around

If you are looking for a case+psu for less than $50, have a look at local small computer stores -- you'd ne shockingly surprised what you can get (both quality and aesthetics) for a low budget (that's where I got my case heehee ... ana Anamax Prism + 350W stock which ive replaced with a Vantec420W) ... and you donbt have to do stupid rebates which take 3 months to process and get lost in the mail
