Lian Li's are my personal favorites. Go look at Xoxide.com. They have a huge case display up front.

Cases that come with a generic PSU are a no no in my book.
or u can simply use that psu as a backup... and install ur new psu
My case had one of those, it blew up within hours of start up, lucky it didnt fry my MB. Had to wait 2 weeks to ship in my Enermax SLI pwr supply.

I am about to build my new gaming rig, but I can't find a case I really like.
Does anyone here have a kick-ass gaming case or know of a pretty good one?

I know about the cooler masters...but expensive.
Im looking for a PSU and case (PSU ~ $100) for $150-160.  So a $50-60 case.
Here's the down 'n dirty.
You post a question with NO important information asking about a gaming rig.  That's like going an NHRA webstie and asking "Looking to build, who's got ideas for a COOL CAR?"

So I'll be first to ask
What sort of system are you building?
You see if you give us exactly what you're building there might be obvious reasons why a cool case to us is not an option for you.

All that said, my vote always goes with the Antec line.  I'm using a super lanboy (a pain in my ass because of the silver color matching with the DVD drives).  I also have a couple Sonata's, and a 1650, and a 2650.  I've been very impressed, even with their "cheap" cases.  Along with most of their cases comes a very well built antec power supply.  I know some have serious "Powersupply (aka p-nis) envy", thinking anything short of a 600 watt power supply is not enough for the average gamer, but I know the 350 and 400 antec is top of the line.  It can laugh at anything short of a dual 940, sli GTX, with 4 hard drives and 4 opticals (a little exaggerated).

Witht he little info you gave - by kid & I both have Ultra cases & their modular power supply.  Ultra also makes a broad range of fans, lights & other interesting stuff.  Make certain your Mobo has multiple fan heads that can be controlled by the BIOS.

I've setup a couple utlra cases.  I'd have to say for the price (near free after rebates) they were the best I've seen.  I'd place the value of one around $50 though, case and PS.  It's a good solid PS (x-connect) that comes in them.  I think the cases still ship with old PS that has the unbendable cables.  Makes hiding the cables impossible.  The newer style cables (X2) seem to be designed much better though.
