Can someone give me a good recommendation on a resonable case, preferably w/ a 350W PSU.
I was thinking of this Raidmax Model 268FB

Antec makes good cases, and good power supplies.
The power supply is what really matters IMO. Make sure you get a good one, like an enermax, antec, sparkle, enlight, or pc power and cooling.
heres some antec cases w/ antec psu's...

You could always get a case w/o a power supply and get one seperate.

I wouldn't get the raidmax. It's poor quality, but that is the main problem with it. It has terrible cooling. 4x80mm front fans is excellent but 1x60mm fan in the back is stupid and dangerous. Unless you cut som blow holes this case will overheat in a heartbeat.

I dare to differ, I use Raidmax in budget builds and find them to be very good cases and power supplys. Right now I have an older AMD Athlon Socket A 1.2 Gig in one without any additional fans other than the power supply fan and the side fan and the system operates just fine.
The specs on the power supply (350 watt) are very good and the voltage levels are very stable.
The case is solid and the metal very stiff.
