FSP is a well known psu brand. should be solid.

edit: would trust it hands down over no name that came with a case.

EDIT: the above $37 case+psu would work fine for your needs.

My suggestion is to go to your local pc shop and see if they have any for sale. I know the pc shops by me have a whole bunch of referbs running linux that they have to sell to people that only need to surf the web and check email. Get one of those and upgrade what you need. PS If you haggle you can usually get much better deals.

Sucks about your notebook, but I agree that something like craigslist, ebay or a local store would suit you better in that price range. Also, you may want to check exactly what it is you fried with that glass of water - you never know. It might not be something impossible to fix.

Thanks for all the advice! I'm going to go to the local comp store here and see what they have, otherwise I'll probably build it using that Rosewill case w/ the 350W PSU. It's more fun building it anyway.
