What's your definition of cheap, and which country do you live in?
In the US I'd recommend:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...pk=NZXT%2bALpha



Staff members: Um, bugged? My post appears before his!

Hey, this is my first time building a computer and I just need some suggestions about a nice cheap but good case.

Go to this link if you are cool enough to realize that the best kind of money is free money. (NOT A SCAM, I PROMISE)

Umm....I guess cheap is below like $70-$80, so the newegg one would work...especially because it is on rebate. And I will also check out lian li.
Thanks guys.

One more thing... the graphics card I am getting is the 3870 not exactly sure which company's (whichever is the cheapest). I am getting the AMD Athlon 64 X2 CPU. My motherboard is the ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD M. Also...is this a good case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811128044?

I don't know which way your goin to keep your cpu cooled???:)but..I found myself liking the Cooler master RC-590 the best for direct air cooling
cause it can hold alot of fans..
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119152
price $69.99
or the RC-690 for $79.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119137
there the same cases just setup alittle different..
but if..I water cool my system..i'd run with the Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 RC-1000
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119138
for $189.99
there all great cases to me!!

Done out of Here!

The case you selected is relatively low quality and poorly cooled compared to the case I posted. I'd stick with that or go with the 590 that bigwill posted.

stick with cooler-master, they might be a little more pricey but they are very quiet and they will keep your pc nice and cool

no i haven't yet. My problem is I am going on a vacation in a week and I don't want the package to come while I am away but I will tell you how the case is when I do get it. Thank you so much for caring!
