To finish off my new build I need a stylish new case and a psu that will be somewhat futureproof. Also, im a student on a budget :) 

I've narrowed it down to 3 cases I like.
Im not asking for you guys to decide for me but rather point out any pro's/con's i might have overlooked.

Akasa Eclipse 62 - link
- £76

Pro: Sexy Anodised Black Interior
Pro: 2x120mm fans
Pro: Inexpensive window
Pro: Wheels!

Con: ABS front panel


Lian-Li PC-7 - link
Pro: £57
Pro: Beautiful anodised black case, including front panel (which i love)
Pro: 2x120mm fans
Pro: Dust filter
Pro: cd drive bezels to keep the style flowing

Con: £25 window
Con: Not anodised inside (although the Eclipse is the only one ive seen with this)


Lian-Li PC-61 - link
Pro: Beautiful anodised black case, including front panel (which i love)
Pro: 3x120mm fans
Pro: Dust filter
Pro: Removable motherboard tray
Pro: cd drive bezels to keep the style flowing

Con: £81 + £25 window
Con: Not anodised inside


PSU's. In the £50-60 range which is all I can afford, the best value for money I can find are the
- Thermaltake ToughPower 600W
- Hiper 580W modular

which would you recommend?

Thanks,

Didnt notice my signature wasnt showing. Anyway, the X800XL will be replaced with a 7900GS or X1950Pro soon and then in a year or so a medium/high spec dx10 nvidia or ATI. The PSU needs to be good for those.
