Absolute cheapest case you know of...

MRD · Aug 19, 2005

Anyone have an idea where I can pick up a REALLY cheap case? I don't care what it looks like, how big it is, or really anything else, I'm just making a print server. I used to get them off ebuyer for about $5 plus $7 shipping, but they seem to have no more cheapies there. Power supply would be nice too, can be small and crappy, it will be running a 486 or pentium probably.

why not just look on newegg, I sersoually dought that your gonna find somewere that i'll ship a case for 7 dollars

Hoping for something cheaper, their best is about $30 w/o any power supply.

That would put the case/PS at somewhere around 6x the cost of the rest of the system combined. =)

Here is this one(no PSU ) for $12 plus shipping, although you have to deselect a lot of boxes before adding it to the cart.

How about this one?

9.95$ but then shipping is what kills you. for it to ship to DC is about 18$ :bang head

. dunno what it is elsewhere.

the plus side is that it comes with a whopping 235W PSU that is INTEL P4 and AMD XP ready! wowza!! :drool:

Lol. 235W... Ithink I'll build a duallie with all that power!
