Antec builds reliable PSUs. I also like their cases since it has virtually no sharp edges, nice fans, and good vents.

AOpen, Enlight and Enermax (with a real Enermax power supply) are also good cases with good power supplies.

The higher-end Thermal Take Cases come with good Thermal Take PSU's... Some of The cheaper Enermaxes come with either no PSU, or they have "Power Up PSUs", just check the specs when you're browsing through them...

I have a Maxtop case with a 350 watt Qmax power suooly, and it has performed flawlessly for months, and is very reasonably priced.

The X-Dreamer cases come with TurboLink power supplies, which are rebadged DEER power supplies...the lowest of the low. If you do get this case, get a good quality power supply to replace the TurboLink with.
