Wandrille, you are NOT gonna get a decent case and PSU for $80.

Here (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Submit=ENE&N=2000090007+1054808287+1295819208+1055508421&Subcategory=7&description=&srchInDesc=&minPrice=&maxPrice=&ATTR1=&ATTR2=&ATTR3=2000090007+1054808287&ATTR4=&ATTR5=&ATTR6=2000090007+1295819208&ATTR7=&ATTR8=2000090007+1055508421&ATTR9=&ATTR10=&ATTR11=&ATTR12=&ATTR13=&ATTR14=&ATTR15=) is a search at Newegg for your requirements. Several good looking cases for you to choose from with PSU's. You can refine the search to help narrow it down if you like.

I know you have already been warned but I have say it. I use some of the stock PSU's from cases, but only in my old socket 478 and socket A machines, and I don't even recommend that. But I would never use one in a socket 775 or socket 939 system, I wouldn't even turn the machine on just to test it with those crap PSU's. It may seem like it works fine but...

[Wandrille]

i never said they had to be together!!!!
i mean like seperate case and psu

[jlreich]

Here is a budget PSU I have running two of my machines including a socket 939. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817153023

You can't get a better brand name budget PSU for that price. It's not the best but it's better than any stock PSU included in a cheap case. Like I said I have it running my AMD64 3000+, but I will be forking out the cash for a better one soon.

That's still taking up a lot of your budget but that's about the best you can do with an $80 budget.

Cases are really to personal to recommend. Using the search function at Newegg would be the best thing to do.

[Wandrille]

dang thats the one i had in mind lol

[i an not a nerd]

OOO, ok. Is the $80 budget for both the PSU and case? or is it $80 for case and $80 for PSU?

[Wandrille]

no its $80 for case and psu but they dont have to be together
so u culd spent like $40 on each or 50 on one and 30 on the other anythin but has to stay within $80 for both

This is the problem. This is about the cheapest you can find a quality PSU:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103459
It is $75. Is there no room to up the budget?

[jcnoernberg]

look on ebay if you're looking for bargain, but as they say, caveat emptor...
i got my case there for $50 shipped with a cheap psu. you'll have 30 left to maybe buy a used antec off ebay as well.

[Wandrille]

well wait a second
wut r some good names in psu and in cases
and wut do u think of this psu?

[hockey man]

I don't know much about them, so I would be very hesitant to order it.

[jlreich]

I have some Rosewill products and I am happy enough with them. But they are still on the low end/budget side of things.

That Thermaltake I linked to is about the best deal you can get on a name brand PSU. 5 eggs after more than 300 reviews says something. It only has 18A on the +12v rail which is why I don't recommend using it on a modern system. But I would rather have 18A with a decent name than 30A with a no name PSU. Oh, and I did get my MIR. I have yet to send in the second one though.

[Wandrille]

hmmm ya i think ill go wit the power supply u linked me too seems good enough
but is this case any good it seems alright to me (i know it doesnt have a side panel window but o well) but it seems to have many fans and seems to be a case that will keep the components at a good temperature

Yeah that's nice case. Good deal after rebate.
