I'm building a SFF pc for a family member (she hates those "huge ugly boxes"). I've got my mobo, processor, ram etc picked out, but I'm coming up short on the case/psu. I hunted around a bit, looking at all the clueless old lady (tm) builds, but it seems like everyone is reccomending dell. Her husband will be providing tech support, so that's of no concern to me.
She's got a tight budget, so I'm looking for a cheap matx case that includes a power supply, and is reasonably quiet. I think it'll need about a 300W psu (judging from the parts below, plus a few usb devices). By cheap, I mean ~$50 if possible. I've skimped all I could on the other parts (her husband insisted on s939, 1gb of ram and a dvdrw that I'm sure only he's going to use).
I see the Qpack's look awesome, and are pretty popular, but at $75 would be breaking her budget. Any help would be much appreciated.
The Foxconn 3GT 350W is what I'm considering, but I could definitely use some input.
Other parts are
a64 3000+ venice
MSI RS482M4-ILD with onboard video
1gb corsair value select
NEC dvdrw/cdrw drive
various other parts cannibalized from previous systems
