    Umm....I guess cheap is below like $70-$80, so the newegg one would work...especially because it is on rebate. And I will also check out lian li.
    Thanks guys.

    One more thing... the graphics card I am getting is the 3870 not exactly sure which company's (whichever is the cheapest). I am getting the AMD Athlon 64 X2 CPU. My motherboard is the ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD M. Also...is this a good case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811128044?

    I don't know which way your goin to keep your cpu cooled???:)but..I found myself liking the Cooler master RC-590 the best for direct air cooling
    cause it can hold alot of fans..
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119152
    price $69.99
    or the RC-690 for $79.99
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119137
    there the same cases just setup alittle different..
    but if..I water cool my system..i'd run with the Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 RC-1000
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119138
    for $189.99
    there all great cases to me!!

    The case you selected is relatively low quality and poorly cooled compared to the case I posted. I'd stick with that or go with the 590 that bigwill posted.

    stick with cooler-master, they might be a little more pricey but they are very quiet and they will keep your pc nice and cool
