Looking for a microATX case

[ChromeTusk]

Looking to build a simple PC for productivity, light gaming, and potentially HTPC purposes. Time frame for the build is Labor Day weekend (perferred) or mid-September.

I thought about the Apivia X-QPack2 until I read bad reviews about the included 500W PSU. The ThermalTake Armor A30 also caught my eye, but seems overkill for the purpose.

Could do with knowing your budget, but heres a few ideas----

Silverstone SG02B-F Evolution, Black, Micro-ATX SFF Mini-Cube Case

Silverstone SG01B-F Black MicroATX SFF Aluminum Case

Silverstone Sugo SG03B-F, Black, Small Form Factor SFF Case, 2 x 12cm Fans, micro-ATX

Silverstone TJ08B-E Temjin Evolution, Black Micro ATX Tower Case

Silverstone Fortress FT03B, Black, Micro-ATX Aluminum Mini Tower Case

OR FOR A GREAT CASE PSU COMBO FOR YOUR NEEDS

@henydia: If I do not find a case with an included PSU, I did plan to get the newer version.

@Uther: Sorry about forgetting that detail. The entire build budget is $600 (including Win7 Pro 64-bit OEM). I was hoping to spend less than $150 for the case and PSU, but I know it isn't much.

I also forgot to mention a couple of requirements:
1) Room for 1 optical drive
2) Room for 1 media card reader. I have a spare AreoCool Infinite that fits a 5.25" bay or I might buy a newer product with USB3.0 connections.

Thank you for the recommendations. Unfortunately, funding for the build fell through so I need to revamp the budget and time frame. I will post a new thread if I need more help.
