Best cases for under $200?

I need to get a 400W PS for my Enlight 7237. It comes out to close to $80. So I figure why not look around for a case that has already got one in it and offers better air flow. Enlight is ok, but it's pretty cramped. I don't want a huge full tower. I just want good air flow, couple fans, and good 400W power supply(Sparkle or Antec). Can be bigger then midtower, but I really hate those huge ones. I'm only going to have 2 drives in there, 2 HDs, and a floppy.

Antec? I have a 300w PS from one and it is quieter that my "whisper" enermax.

That could work. It's funny how the shipping for the black one is $10 more then the white one. Black must weigh more.

That's that adjustable power supply, right?

Go over to newegg.com if your intrested in the Antec case above... because it's 88$ for the 300 watt power supply? The power supply i know is from Antec, the one w/ the enermax whipser is 99$... you decide....

The only reason I'm switching is cause I need the 400W adjustable Antec PS. I don't like my case either. So I'm going with that black Antec one.

antec cases are a good choice.

i personally just use a case i picked up for around $50 at a show. it's no name, but has a good 300W ps and has been a trooper in the year i've been using it.

Just went to newegg.com the beige one is out of stock if you went to the Antec section... Although, the black one is in stock with the Antec powersupply. The Enermax one that is a Antec case, appears to be in stock
