      Well I am building a new computer, I am not going to post specs other then that my mobo phys specs is ATX.

      These are what I am looking at currently:
      1) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...cm_re=raidmax_smilodon-_-11-156-062-_-Product

      2) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811103011

      Here is my problem, #1 has a shit power supply so it would be useless to buy it, but buying it without the PSU is 79.99 w/9.99 shipping. Which is a crap deal! #2 has no PSU but the price is abit high, but the feedback on it isn't bad. But I am kind of on a budget for a case and PSU.


      My budget is 100-150$. (Why it is so low? Because I have not even got the 200$ ram I am planning on getting).

      Requirements:
      Power supply (Unless their is a option to add it and it still comes to 150$ or under.
      Side panel
      Good airflow
      Green or blue lights
      Decent size so upgrading isn't a problem

      Didn't read the thread, but Antec 902 or Lancool PC-K62. I have both and they are both awesome.

      I've been looking at the Cooler Master HAF932. Problem is its 139.99 w/out shipping or a PSU. I might end up getting it if I can't find anything else.

      I got Antec Mini 300 Tower. I don't know why it's called a mini, but its nice and big. Antec Earthwatts 600W PS is a good one. If you are making a decision between the two, go #2.

      Your second link is a very good case, will keep it cool and has a lot of room. For $194 you can get the combo deal with its 850W psu, which is a great deal (30$ discount). go for that and you'll be happy.

      Problem is, I do not want to fork out $200 because it will cut into my RAM budget which is a no no.

      Ram should not cost $200. Chances are you'd get the same chips from a $120 batch than a $200 batch.

      The ram I am looking at costs $200. And its a really good deal for the stick size.
