Decent cases
I've been trying to build a computer and now I have to decide on a case. I'm looking for a cheap (about $100) preferably black okay looking case that will fit an Asus A7N8X-DLX nForce2 mobo. Any suggestions? I've tried finding my own but there are so many brands and I'm not even sure where to start. BTW...I'm looking for a tower.

THis is a really cool case that is built really well and looks great. Newegg is out of stock on this series, but Mwave.com has them with no power supply (very good) for 39.00. A sparkle or enermax 300watt will cost 25 to 30.
This case comes with cd drive covers so that they will match the case. Manufacture's site http://www.ahanix.com/dbox.html MWAVE http://www.mwave.com/mwave/doc2/A14386.html |

You might like the cheiftec dragon or matix series cases. There nice and roomy, perfect if you want to mod.

I like enermax cases, and if you really want a nice case you can spend 150 and get a kingwin with 3 windows!

Be sure the case you settle on has a quality PSU in it, or purchase a solid name brand separately (i.e. - Antec, Enermax, Enlight, Sparkle to name a few). Even some of the Enermax cases come with an off-brand PSU in them, so be careful when selecting.

I like this one, I used it in my build the other week:
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduc...=enermax+brown Good PSU, Sturdy, the only gripe I have is that the front "Door" is somewhat non-user friendly (Easy to jam the door, and scratch up the nice paint job ) |

The black Enlight 7250 is a very plain looking but easily moddable case. The 300w power supply it comes with is high quality. It's not the bargain it used to be, but at $70 shipped (plus sales tax, sorry, you are in CA) from Newegg it's still a good value.
