Case question

I was kindof unsure as to what forum this belongs in so if i guessed wrong just move its thanks,

OK the problem, I was pretty dumb when i started my build and bought a powersuply without checking here first, it turned out to be a kingwin which died a month and a half later, now i am looking for a replacement and a new case since the one i have is from 1999 and ugly beige.

I saw this case:
http://aspireusa.net/product.php?pid=186
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...72#DetailSpecs
(75.99 w/ PSU and 62.something w/o)
on newegg and was wondering if it will be good for this build, my chief concern is a good power supply, would it be better to buy another psu and this case w/o psu? if so what psu eould be best, i want to stay under 100 usd for the case & psu tho so its a fairly small budget.

heres the system:

AMD Sempron 64 3000+
512 MB System RAM and 128 extra aloted to video
Biostar TForce 6100 w/ onboard video and sound
3 hd's-> 5gig 10 gig and 100 gig
DVD ROM

Thanks for the help.

Case should be fine, but the power supply is quesitonable.

FSP and Sparkle have some high quality, cheap power supplies. You could probably find a good 400W for $50, and if you can get that case without PSU for $50. Make sure the power supply has a 24 pin connector (or 20+4). It looks like that board has a PCI-E slot, so you'll want that if you ever put a video card in there.

That FSP is a great choice. Much better then anything from Aspire.
