(The case has a $10 rebate)

For the build listed above, I'm looking to shave cost off of the case while maintaining the usb 3.0 functionality on the front - does anyone have suggestions on a good quality case? I'd like the smallest case that will accommodate internals (I believe this is the ATX mid tower size)

The case does look pretty sweet, but I'd lose the USB 3.0 functionality on the front and add to the total cost...

In terms of the PSU, the earthwatts seems to be pretty solid from reviews
