Default Good Micro atx case

Anyone know of a micro-atx case around 50 usd with a decent psu? Even an atx would be fine if it has a good psu but id prefer the micro.

See "A-TOP" Blade with 450w at the egg (approx. $55.00).
I'm using one but not sure if you'd consider it a "Micro"

This is a pretty sweet case and it supports micro-atx it's by Aspire:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...144-042&depa=0

The PSU is pretty lousy but my friend who has the same PSU from an Aspire X-Dreamer runs a 2.8GHz P4, 1 CD burner, 2x120 gig IDE hard drives, an nVidia FX5200, and the 2 fans that come with it just fine.

this one is sweet, decent psu but the case really rocks for a micro atx

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...153-028&depa=0

it has a cpu duct and everything, only 32 bucks also

it comes with a rear exhaust fan, and has the setup of a mid tower, not the standard (sideways cd drive) micro atx case

now i wanna build a micro atx pc just so i can use that case lol really

its sweet, add an intake fan to the duct, add a top exhaust fan, and another side panel intake fan, and i bet it'd run really cool

just run the basics, it'd be awesome to transport
