    Default Cheap but still cool looking cases on the market today?

    I want to build my brother in-law a new computer for Christmas as his is close to the grave with some caps ready to let loose. Its an old Athlon xp system anyway so its way over due for an upgrade. I plan on building him a mid range rig with a tb of storage, blue ray drive, phenom processor and a decent video card. I am however trying to keep this thing on the cheap so I can still afford Christmas presents for everyone else. He doesn't need a bullet proof aluminum case or anything because it will sit on his desk in one spot and never move. So have you seen an interesting looking case lately?

    My requirements.
    • Under $60
    • Side Window
    • cool overall design
    • Front door would be a plus
    • Black with green accents would be nice but not required.

    We will probably be seeing some decent sales on Easter. I'd wait until then to purchase anything.

    Then again, this is a pretty good price if you don't mind MIR's and it fits all of your requirements.


    Same case w/500watt PSU

    If you don't mind getting it used and modding it yourself then check out your local recycler. The case I found for 3xNES was going to cost $7 but the owners son said take it.

    I dunno how much the NZXT Alpha costs in the US but it cost me just under $100AUD when I was building my brothers PC, a very good case.
