Please help with Case and PSU Choices

I am having a pickle of a time deciding what case and power supply to go with! My budget for these two items is 150$. Quietness is important to me.. but honestly, I want the whole package, cool/quiet/enough power. What do I get?? Thanks.

You PSU is very important, moreso than case...
Here are two of the best products for the least amount of cash and also are very quiet. I have one of each running.

I've decided on a coolermaster case, but how do I know what power supplies will fit inside this case? How do I know which are compatible? I want to get a PSU from a different supplier than coolermaster, I want an antec PSU with a coolermaster case, does this work? Thanks!

Yes, ATX PSU's will fit into ATX cases.

Remember, the Antec PSU to get is the True Power versions, or the TPII, and not the Smart Power
