I am hoping to build a computer with a budget of $500 or less. Please give me links or specs of possible configurations. The one problem I am having is trying to find a cheap case with a power supply that looks decent. If u could please help me any way I will be pleased.

http://xoxide.com/ has very cool-looking cases, for good prices, a lot starting at $50

If you're just buying a case online/mail order, keep in mind that shipping can be somewhat pricey.

Yeah they really gouge you... I view anything from the mail as a last resort (which is most things I want). Best buy and Circuit City don't really have a good choice of the flashy things like lighted acrylic cases w/ fish and things, such as online stores. I sure wish there were more retail stores here in my area. I don't want to have to drive to LA every time I want a book.

Be very carefull with mail order,if you need to return anything it's a BIG hassel. Do not buy any PowerMax products. They treated me like crap.

Our sales team can help you build this computer within your budget. Email or call us, we would be glad to help you out.
