Anyone know where I can buy a AT Mid-Tower case for less than $40 w/ at least a 250W power supply?

Online or not?

Just keep in mind, when you buy cheap, you get cheap. I've got two of those "cheap" cases and I wish they had them back. Extremely thin guage metal and a ****-poor job of China construction. Believe me, it's worth the $40-50 to get a "decent" case.

Oh ok i got a reply from M3-computers and they said that the Euro AT cases have a 230 watt power supply and the Super AT and ATX cases have a 250 watt power supply except for the full tower which has a 300 watt.

But i have to warn you that the Euro Cases are really cheap in quality. I bought one for a computer i'm building to sell and it has thin guage metal and kind of a sorry job of putting it together. The 3 1/2 and 5 1/4 bays are really flimsy. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

But I don't know about the Super AT and ATX cases. They might be better.

But the cheap cases work fine if you don't have the extra money to spend it on. But if I were you i would save up a little so I could get a better case.
