My power supply busted and I was in the market for a new one, not to mention wanting to get a full tower ATX case for all the devices/drives I have (don't be jealous, they're small except for my newest one.)
This week at CompUSA they have the Antec Performance II case in Black, (SX1040BII).. so this is good quality, not a no name brand. (I've had two low-name/no-name power supplies die on me, friends have recommend 'known names'.)

So it's on sale for $79.99 after rebate. (tax at my location was $7, plus the postage to send in the rebate.. so you get a pretty good case & power supply for about $87.36 -- this beats Pricegrabber and Pricewatch prices on the same item (well, you can find it cheaper on them, but shipping seems to wind up making it more.. at least it did for me. YMMV if you say, live in California where the stores offering it cheaper are.)
Now I need to research a good motherboard/chip/heatsink/fan.
