Looking for a cheap new ATX case...

[rh71]

Does anyone know of a place? Looking for a new ATX mid-tower w/ 250watt (minimum)... hopefully $40-$50 shipped. Thanks guys.

It's been a while since I've checked, but www.onsale.com (http://www.onsale.com) (since merged with Egghead) had good prices and S & H now is only $4.95.
Shipping & Handling fees go up fast on cases.

Yeah, I just looked there, but can't seem to find the cases! What category would cases be listed under? Not in the accessories. I believe shipping is now $6.95, but that's not a problem if the case is only about $35-$40...

Thanks.

I have 2 Enlight 7237 midtower cases and love them. They fit your price range ($47) and are highly recommended. They are well built and convenient & 250w. I bought them at multiwave, and here's a link to case's specs: ENLIGHT 7237 (http://direct.mwave.com/mwave/doc/series7.html)

Check out what others say about them at Resellerratings.com (http://sysopt.earthweb.com/userreviews/products/cases1.html)

Can't go wrong with a 7237 - I'm looking at mine now http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Also the Super Case is good, and a little cheaper computer gate (http://www.computergate.com/cgi-bin/prodinfo?sn=3350107412151137&cd=HTMH100AA2) has them for $37 but the Enlight is worth the difference I think.

Well I figure this is a good place to ask anyway... the reason I'm asking about a new case is because I suspect the power supply in the current machine is wacked out. I push the power button, see very dim lights... no fans, no harddrive spin-up... then literally a minute later, it would start everything as if nothing were wrong.

Is this a bad power supply? What's the cause for something like this (frequent off/on's)? I'm not going to replace the PS, but rather the whole case instead.

I would say your power supply is toast, and they are not user servicable unless you know what you are doing.
