I'm looking for a nice, high quality, silver case - I like this EZ COOL ALPINE SILVER CASE:

http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-17011.php

but its only available in the UK... is there anything like that local in the States?

It doesn't have to have a PSU, but it would be a bonus. If it does have one, it needs to be at a minimum 400W.

Also, money IS an issue. $85-$125 w/PSU would be ideal... but perhaps not possible? We'll see... this case needs to last me for a long time... Help please!

Thanks,

Dan

definetly a nice case, but thats gonna be way too spendy, cuz it doesn't include the PSU. Anything cheaper?

I found this

http://www.securemart.com/cgi-bin/future/SM108941.html?pcode=1

It is cheaper, but maybe still a bit too much. What do you think of this Antec P160 case? It has a lot of nice features (removable mobo tray, its quiet, lots of thumb screws, its light, its Antec, etc.) It would however set me back $110 + $100 for the PSU. Am I spending too much here? Any better alternatives? I'm looking for a non-side window, sleek high quality silver case.

Also, for a PSU - Is this:

an Antec a v2.0 ATX PSU? Would you recommend that one, or is there a better one to go with? What do you think of Antec VS Fortron 500W ATX 2.0? Any others? I want ATX2.0 and high quality. I think that Antec is 2.0 but can someone confirm?

Anyway, any thoughts on the Antec + other (cheaper) case alternatives? PSU thoughts?
