Alright, so I have decided on all the components I am going to include in my first build, except for the case! I am having a hard time choosing one. I would like to have one with a PSU included simply because of convenience, but I'm a bit wary about the stock PSU's dying. So, my question is this: What is a good Case with included PSU, or a Case and PSU seperately, that is $100 or less? I'd like to have at least 20a over the 12v. Any help would be great

If you want you can just get yourself an ATX case with an ATX powersupply...
but here are a few suggestions This one has a 450W PSU and is from Antec http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811129155 -------------------- "A kiss is just a kiss until you find the one you love.

One thing - if you are planning to do any modding (eg eventually put on an aftermarket CPU cooler etc) try and get a case with a removeable motherboard tray - it will make things a lot easier...

A good case depends on the cooling functionality of it. If the thing looks cool, but does not perform well in the cooling aspect, well, you just got ripped off from $100.
