Antec's P180B.

That's the case that I have...and I love it. Only thing...I move my computer around a lot (still in college and I go to LAN parties and such), and the things a beast to move. It's fairly heavy, but runs very quiet. I also just like the look too Smile

It's above your $75 even with the rebate ($129 minus a $40 rebate for a total of 89 + shipping), but I personally think it's worth it.

Let us know no matter what you choose though.

It doesn't come with a power supply, but you can usually find a decent price on a supply if you have a frys or something like it.

That is a nice looking case and is a strong possibility. Me like. It could be a HTPC/MPC case but the ones I've seen don't have the required external bays and had RCA connecters, etc that wouldn't be used.

Unfortunately, it's a tower and I'm looking for a desktop form case. Thanks!

I love this case too, but I wanted to point out that it is micro-ATX and not Full ATX as FirstTeamOPS spec'd.

Here is the same case for $75. Gives you a little room $$ on the PS.

I don't use one of these (I opted for the Antec overture II)

The overture II can sometimes be found for $100. It meets all your requirements if you can find a deal on it. Retail is $150 or so.
It is being discontinued and can be hard to find. Ebay possibly.
EDIT: There is one on Ebay with a buyitnow at $80 with $27 shipping (it's used) No bids currently at $50


My one regret on the Overture II is the power supply is non standard. That sucks if it goes bad considering an Antec replacement is $$.

They just sold out. There's no price so hopefully they haven't dropped that case from their catalog because I'm liking that case.

Thank you very much for that tip. Non standard will be a problem. The system I'm building requires a minimum 450W PS so the PS will more than likely be pulled.

I think the overture II is a 450w ps, albeit non-standard.
The overture was a 380w. The cooling for the II was also improved.
I think some people have managed to get a standard PS in the overture II but it has to have a fan on the bottom, and the side. The power cord goes in the opposite side of the side fan, which is non-standard.
