Cheap Midtower case

Current Rig:
2.4 GHz Pentium 4 overclocked to 3.3 GHz :cool:
ABIT IC7-MAX3 motherboard
1 gig Kingston RAM

I'm in the middle of building a AMD64 setup now. The only thing slowing me down is people want me to buy stuff with real money.

My home 2 PCs and home laptop are only used for web surfing, music, playing kids games, and e-mail. But I'm ready to build a new gaming station. I have 6 computers and several laptops I use everyday at work that are mine that's why I don't use my home computers for much. That and after 50+ hours a week at work and my wife complains if I screw around too much on the home computers.
 
My computer is an emachines AMD 64 laptop. I have an 80 gig hard drive, 512 ram (I think), and an ATI radeon 9600. This is the first computer I've really owned.

Current baux:
Barton 2500+
1GB 333mhz ram (I forget what PCxxxx that is)
