need case recommendation -- cosmetics count

Looking for an ATX case under $75 or so, for a Biostar M7VIG system
which will get heavy use as an internet-surfing machine and nothing
else.
It's for a girlfiiend with specific tastes in home furnishiing -- Need
simple design with an offbeat color.
I've never had to choose a case where things like color are an issue,
so I'm on unfamiliar turf.

Two boxes which I think would visually appeal to her are:

Evercase GC4292 -- would probably be her first choice, but I can't
find any reviews on it
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-127-032&depa=1

and

Chieftec CX-01 BL-BL-BLK
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=11-125-712&depa=0
which from the Newegg reviews in other colors seems to be OK, though I
wonder about the sturdyness of the hinge on the bezel door.

Any experience with either of these cases from a building standpoint?
Any recommendations for something visually similar which is also a
better case?

Raidmax cases are inexpensive and they have a good array of choices -
even colored, and modded - at NEW EGG.

buy standard beige and then use vinyl dye to make a custom case that way you
can match all the accessories (monitor, mouse, keyboard, drive faces,
etc...) as well.
