I am in need of a new case. It appears that I have some sort of grounding issue in my current case (Thermaltake Xaser III) that took me 8 months to figure out. (For more info check this thread: http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=502718)

I believe something probably happened to it transporting it to/from school (10 hour drive twice a year). Unfortunately, I still have a couple trips left, so I'm looking for a cheap case to use until I settle down in a permanent location.

Here are my requirements:
4 Hard drives
2 external 5.25s
1 external 3.5
Room for a Scythe Infinity HSF
Am thinking about adding on a DX10 card, maybe 8600 or 8800GTS


Hoping to keep it under $50
Ideas?

I think this one would fit the bill, Not sure how large the Scythe is though, I am using it with a Freezer Pro 64 and I have plenty of room, Comes with a rear Coolermaster 120 fan and a spot for another 120 in front. I put in a couple of Yate loons and a fan controller and it cools very well, The front is mesh and has a filter in front of the fan opening. It also has a spot where you can mount an 80 on the side that would blow in on the CPU. For an inexpensive case I have been pretty happy with it.

i'd go with any cheap case that comes with at least one 120mm fan. I think tehy can be had for as little as $20-$50 at newegg.

I bought my case at ATX Cases http://www.atxcases.com/ No complaints. They sent it in 10 days. They have awesome cases for 30-40bucks.

Or just hit your local surplus store\Goodwill.

You'd be amazed how many great cases I've gotten for $5 at Goodwill.
As long as the cover isn't solid molded plastic, you can always cut more fan holes.

A case is just a hunk of metal that holds parts. I'd use cardboard for mine if it didn't collapse when you spill pop on it!!
