Default Which Case?
Well im on a tight budget (not surprising). I need a Case+PSU for like less than 90 bucks. Im lookin at CanadaComputers since i dont want to pay for shipping (retail nearby). I narrowed it down to :

NZXT Trinity:

Thermaltake Something..
http://canadacomputers.com/index.php...733&cid=CS.664

Or this one at Liata:
http://liata.com/scrItem.asp?product...roduct_id=4700
with this PSU:
http://canadacomputers.com/index.php...=006901&cid=PS
or this PSU:
http://canadacomputers.com/index.php...756&cid=PS.808

Im looking for a good looking case with good airflow since my temps are high. Help me choose please.

Though this might put you over budget, I'd go with this case. Starts with 7 fan spots, and you can add one more via 4 in 3 HDD module. Great cooling, and looks elegant to book. Similar features to the more expensive CM 690 and CM Stacker.

that price range is going to be tight, a good psu is in the $50usd plus range, I would go coolermaster as well for both psu and case
