getting a case with a PSU is not a good idea, the PSU usually breaks very soon and they are of poor quality. Their wattage is usually overrated.
You can find good cases without PSUs at places like-
www.newegg.com
www.canadacomputers.com
www.tigerdirect.ca /.com

Or, if your like you could customize your old one, with your own tricked out designs.
You never know what you can do until you try

Like Sophocles said, NEVER buy a Case that comes with a Power supply or if you do, never use that power supply - they're always rubbish and usually see your PC go up in smoke.
I'd recommend buying whatever takes your fancy as long as it's a Midi tower or Full tower, and Full ATX specification, not MicroATX.
As for the power supply, Hiper Type-Rs, Seasonic S12s, Corsair HXs and Enermax Liberties are quite safe bets.

Best thing to look for these days is an "HTPC" case. They're marketed as home theaters but they work in the same way. How about the NZXT Duet?

I have an Ultra Grid case, it came with a power supply. I havent had a problem, but I did read some reviews about it and they said it was good. By the way if you are buying from tigerdirect don't put too much faith in their rebates.

It was good while it worked, and then blew up in a shower of sparks a year later. That's what they didn't tell you. It's not always the case but it's VERY common, so why take the risk?
Agreed on the rebates, don't expect anything.

Never owned one. I had a Magna which failed, and a Qtec which didn't explode, but overvolted and destroyed a hard disk, some RAM and a floppy drive, not to mention me losing 180GB of data.
