Given the power supply I am choosing, I can get a REDBONE case for basically $30. I am also considering the Antec One (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006TVQU6C/?tag=pcpapi-20) and the NZXT Source 210 Elite (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...).

I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on this case given my tentative build? Thanks!

Is the quality difference worth the $25 though?

i own a lot of the non elite NZXT source 210 cases and they are amazing for the 30 dollars i payed for each of them. I would go with the source 210

btw you would be better off for gaming going with a used Phenom II x4 965 , its getting hard to find them for much under 115 used but that would be a better choice for your rig than the 6300

This is a really old thread... Why did anyone revive it. I got the FX 6300 and am very happy with it. I also ended up getting a Rosewill R5 case.
