Im planning on building a small torrent box/file server so i dont have to keep my main rig on all the time. Main concern in power efficiency and low noise. Would someone please recommend a Micro ATX Mini Tower or Desktop with a power supply built in. I want it to be as cheap as possible please.

Planning on using the following components:
Foxconn A7GM-S
Athlon X2 4850E
GSkill 2 x1GB

Thanks
 
A small-footprint budget case with an efficient power supply? that isn't gonna be easy at all. Do you have a max price you're willing to spend?

Inwin and chenbro have some real small cases, problem is i don't know how efficient their PSU's are. Perhaps you can go cheap on the case and buy a decent aftermarket SFX/matx psu?

But anyway, here's a few links:

i love the coolermaster elite 340

i a machine in one and its small/quiet/excellent cooling

then get yourself an Antec EarthWatts psu, quiet and efficient

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions, i like the coolermaster elite 340 and antec 300. I think i just missed that deal to get the Antec for $40 shipped, which sucks. I will prob end up getting the Elite 340, and dropping an antec psu.

Edit: I just tried the promo on the Antec300 and it still works. Got one!
Thanks a lot!
