I'm looking for a decent Case that comes with an ~480Watt PSU in the <$200 range. Does anybody have any recommendations? I'd prefer to buy them together but it looks like I'm going to have to buy them both seperately.
 
why did you want to get them both together .. so easy to install a psu in a case .. just get them from the same place to save on shipping ...

in the less than 200 range (if it were me) i'd pick up an Ultra Xfinity 500w for 60 bucks from www.overcool.com

this lian li PC-7B is a great value also .. lian li quality .. front and rear 120mm fans .. can get it with window

that's only about 175 w/ shipping from both places


psu and case combo for under 200 i would recommend the Antecs - $139 w/o shipping

(good) Case+PSU combos are rare, except from retailers that do the bundling themselves perhaps. One exception would be Antec...A few examples..

1) Titan 550 - which comes with the True 2.0 550w, I believe - ~$150

2) Sonata II - with a Smart 2.0 450w, maybe available on some etailers with True 480 as well - ~$100 sometimes w/ an MIR involved.

3) TX1050B - with a Smart 2.0 500w - ~$120

..then of course there's TT case/PSU's - but I would say very few TT PSU's would ever have a chance housing my gear (not to mention the general butt-ugliness of the majority of their lineup). Personally, I wouldn't bother getting a pre-boxed combo, unless you found a good deal on a good setup, ie: sale priced Antec..I have to agree with malicious - with all the good PSU's in the $60-80ish range, and *nice* cases that eat up the other part of the budget, you can certainly find something that you will *want* your gear in..Not have to settle with something just so-so, just to get a decent PSU.
