I got some spare parts, so what do I do? I guess I build another PC to have around. I am thinking server of some sort with multiple HDs (maybe) or just a single HD to start with anyway.

What I got:
2x PIII Tualatin @ 1.4GHz
Supermicro P3TDLR mobo
1x512MB + 1x128MB PC133 ECC RAM
Some random PATA HD and CD drive

So I want a case to toss this into. Doesn't need to be anything that looks great as it will likely get thron in a corner. PSU should be a decent one obviously. I am also looking to keep it as cheap as possible (under $100 if possible).

Then I am thinking maybe either a Linux server or workstation. I have DVDs for Suse Linux Enterprise 10 (desktop and server). Maybe even a dual boot.:clap:

Thanks for any ideas.

Look here:

Its the first place I look for cases ever since I got a $50 case for free (got a $50 rebate and just paid the shipping charge.)
Then get a good PSU separately.

This PSU is gonna be waaaay overkill, but it's good for an upgrade.

As for a case... I'm a big fan of whatever's cheapest. :D How about:
