Default Slimline Black PC Case (Desktop)

Does anyone know where I can purchase a compact atx case in black?

Anything with a depth of less that 40cm is what I'm ideally looking for...

TIA

Price is under £20.

Having just built a desktop computer (this smart black case from ebuyer) for
my
father-in-law, I realised the cooling problems associated with modern CPUs
in this style case. I had to add two extra case fans in a Duron 1.8GHz,
7,200rpm hard disk and a fanless ATI Radeon 9200 system to get the case
temperature down to reasonable levels (50 deg C) for extended usage.

I now understand why the midi-tower with PSU cooling at the top and airflow
upwards has become so popular.

Just a word of warning to buy extra case fans, and expect extra noise from
the system.
