What case should I get for this set-up?

[creative_name]

-Motherboard: Asus P6T (X58 LGA1366) for mid-tower ATX
-Ram:4-8 GB
-PSU: 400 watts
-GPU: Nvidia GeForce 210
-Hard drive: Western digital caviar 250 GB(going for low prices)
-Processor: Intel core i7 920 or 960
-Optical drive: Dvd and Cd that will fit in the case you recommend
-Windows 7 64bit. Home edition or basic most likely
-1 processor fan and 2 other fans. Do I need 2 or 1 for my set-up?

-Games: FSX and or X-Plane

Cheap $50 dollar case. As you can see I'm on a very tight budget. Anything else I can change to get a lower price?

I also would like some lighting inside. Like red glowing lights. Will my PSU cover that and how do I install that?

*Motherboard is free because my friend said the processor holding pin was broken but it is an easy fix.

If you have not bought this yet ........you shouldnt , unless its very cheap

Its definitely not going to be able to game .

As for cheap cases that cool well and have lights then take a look at the Antec 300 Illusion

An 1155 based build would give you superior gaming performance while being cheaper. The MoBo to my knowledge has been discontinued.

GFX - What's left to spend ? Pick one .....tho two cards in SLI are oft better than a single more expensive card and cheaper.

FSX is one of the more demanding games graphically if you are using third party meshes .

And the graphics card you have selected can play DVD's . Its not suitable at all for playing games .
Jack Naylors advice is sound
