Does anyone have other suggestions for a case for my low power build?
Looking at the evga hadron which is nice but carries a hefty pricetag. Anything available around $70 that includes a 80plus psu?

I suppose its that psu that makes the evga more expensive.

Any case for $70 that comes with a 'power supply' is going to come with a power-supply shaped object, not a power supply.

I am looking around it any case I find under your price range is low tier and wattage PSU's, that is your best bet.

While I disagree with this as PSU's that come with a Case usually suck, now I say Usually since I had one that came with a case. modular, and it works just fine in a friends build. Now, I suggest you just buy a top tier PSU from this list.

This will give you a list of great PSU's

There's also a 450w version.


He stated around $70...


Yup, and I posted the cheapest one with a decent PSU as an alternative, as I can't show him one with a decent PSU within his budget as you pointed out. Is that ok with you?

When it's 50 dollars over I think that's hardly around $70 o.o... It's fine though.

Yeah, it wasn't supposed to be around $70 :p  I couldn't find anything decent for what I would consider around $70 though unfortunately :(

There are cases for $70 that come with a power supply... but think about it for a minute...

A good quality power supply is going to run you $60-$80, and a cheap case is $40... which means that a $70 price point for both of them means a bad quality power supply, which can (I've seen all these happen) explode, simply light a fire inside your computer, or burn out your components including motherboard, CPU, and graphics card.

The power supply is a place that a lot of new builders and OEMs cheap out, because the effects aren't tangible... but the power supply is the last place one should try to shave pennies.

yup i just realized that. now i suppose my budget is $70 without psu. ill just reuse the one i have right now. I was looking at the hadron air but am skeptical about its seemingly proprietary sized PSU.

Looking at a lian-li PC-Q25. I really dig the NCASE M1 but its grossly overpriced! But very nicely designed I admit.

Any suggestions like the PC-Q25 would be great. It has a clean design and rather small and can accomodate larger video cards. I do like more retangular cases like the M1 or Q25. Dont like the tall cases.
