Default This a good case for the price?

I need a good case to throw all this stuff I'm getting into:
an opty 165 which I'll try to overclock to 2.7-2.8ghz (lower expectations=less dissapointment)
dfi lanparty UF4-D
1gig+512mb ddr400
2-3 HDDS
7600gt (i might get a second later on, though I doubt it)
2DVD-Rs
1floppy
2 or 3 80mms+ a 120mm (leds)
still not sure on the psu

The case I'm thinking about getting is the $59.99 Aspire X-cruiser

Is this a good choice? If not, please state your critisisms and possible suggestions for cases around the same price or less (must have around the same same sort of fan setup (1 top, 1 back, 1 side, 1front (optional) as well as a clear side panel)

Thanx in advance guys

Thats a pretty nice case. But for around the price this one looks a bit better IMO but the case is mostly personal preference

Yeah, it is a nice case.

You might want to check around. I think that the silver trim is "plasticy-looking". Nothing wrong with plastic in itself, but when it looks cheap I think that it robs the case of its grandeur. Only seen pics, so I can't give first-hand feedback.
