Recommending a PC case

I'd like to find a sturdy, easy-access (and relatively quiet) case to
power an Athlon 64 3700+ system. Video will be Radeon 9250AGP, with a
Gigabyte GA-K8U-939 motherboard.

Here are two cases I've found online -- one a well-recommended Antec
($102), the other a Powmax value case ($35).

I'm wondering if the Powmax, at a much lower price, comes close enough.
But I also welcome any other suggestions. Thanks!

Go with the Antec

Get one that accommodates 120mm fans so that you can slow the fans
down yet get good airflow. Having a side air duct helps cooling.
Snap-in component and rubber grommets are nice features. I got my
Antec case (regular $40) for only $15 with $25 off coupon at Amazon.
This case has 6 external bays (2 are 3.5"), does not have wheels, but
I added a wheeled base for little money. I went cheap on the case but
spent about $110 on a Antec P/S.
