Hi, I stubled on this case today.

http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/show [...] gory_id=40

It has 400W psu, room for 4 fans, AT connectors, everything I need, and it looks nice. The thing is, its only $77 (Australian dollars, probably like $40 US.).

Could it be that it's too small, since it doesnt look huge on the picture? Or it could get too loud or hot? Any ideas?

i like these more, they don't mention it but they come with 400 watt PS's the cases are fine, so i imagine that for $20 less it might still be good (i ordered 2)
btw, ps's with cheap cases are usually crap, i dont care how many watts they say, i like my antec true power better than any built in PS. (unless of course the case is made by antec or another high end retailer that include high end PS's [which are more suffice to say than 40 buck])

this one also comes with 2 free fans although they only mention one<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by JAGedlion on 08/04/03 09:59 PM.</EM></FONT></P>

It's just a cheap, thin, weak case with a cheap, thin, weak plastic facepanel. If you want quality for a good price, I suggest you check out my friends shop, <A HREF="http://www.shop.raneye.com.au/" target="_new">http://www.shop.raneye.com.au/</A>
