best brand for Case/Power combo

Well, the Antec one is definitely a favorite, though Chieftec makes nice ones as well. You can also look at a Lian-Li (though they do not include PSU) and if you like (though these are an aquired taste) the Thermaltake cases... I can't imagine buying a seperate PSU is an issue, so you might-as-well broaden your spectrum of cases and just pick up a nice Enermax PSU afterwards for not very much... if its price you're worried about, figure-this: do you really think that the PSU's price isn't included in that of the case?? I mean, take the PSU out and get a similar case, you get a smaller price.

Ahhh! It's 2003 and wait, whats this!? My computer didn't blow up! ... Well damn, there goes my new Athlon @ 333FSB and my inssurance claim... heheheh

I also like Lian Li case a lot but you have to get a PSU separately.

Enermax also make good cases and can come with good PSU's (just make sure its an enermax PSU too)

The case i have is an atlas (superflower) SB201 black case. very cool, comes with a 400W stock PSU though, but i opted it out as i allready had an enermax.

just got the 660amg from antec and am extremely pleased with it. Easy installation, good TruePower PSU. I am, of course, biased but I say go for it.

If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.

Check out the 1080AMG Truepower too. Nice case!
