I'm looking to buy a relatively cheap case for a home office PC build I am doing for someone. I am putting a low budget of £50 max as I would prefer to spend money on other better PC parts. I've been looking at the Zalman Z3 as fitting the requirements I need for it although I'd like someone else's opinion first. The PC being replaced is an ancient Dell Dimension 5000: http://blog.rogerfrost.com/food/delldimension5000.jpg. Therefore, I don't want it to have any fancy or unnecessary features. I want it to have basic enough looks that won't stand out as well as being as quiet as possible. Thanks in advance.

Right I've narrowed it down to the Antec One, Carbide 200R or Source 210 Elite. I want the build to be as quiet as possible and similar in size to the one it is replacing, dimensions are H41.4cm x W18.8cm x D45.7cm. Which would suit this purpose the most?
