New cheap case and psu for p4 rebuild!

[brentonhill]

Right guys I have aquired an msi atx mobo with a p4 processor and 512mb (PC 4200 i think) ram, dvd rw, an old nvidia agp gfx card and a couple of hard drives so not to shabby for xp or even vista with a RAM upgrade. I am going to use the componenets to build a computer for my nephue who is 8 (so not to shabby thinking back to what I had when I was 11! P1 133mhz any one?! ) So anyway all I need is a cheap case and a psu which looks half decent. I found this on scan and like the look. What do you guys think?

I have that case its ok , has lots of space but my case makes vibration sounds coming from the psu and cd drive.

Just came out, about the same price but doesn't come with a PSU. But looks very nice.

If I was buying a case today it would be the antec solo or whatever the latest version is. P180 is just too heavy. I think the solo is a bit cheaper too. But not terribly cheap unfortunately.

What about this: http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/114046

However I really like the look of the asus one. How long have you had yours mrt9888? So it is abit noisey around the psu huh?

I got the TA250 with that PSU, PSU died after a week of usage. POS...

I've had the enermax pandora as well, a bit too plasticy and flimsy for me but it's an OK case.

Get a PSU from ebuyer and use google checkout discount, or get a cheap FSP PSU from scan. Or just go with what the others have said and get one of the Antec cases that come with a half decent PSU, the build qualiy on them is pretty good, much better than the Asus or Enermax cases.

I have used a few of these on cheap builds.
Good for the price.
