Have a look at this one, includes a PSU good enough for one GPU, you could save a buck or two..

What about the Antec 300, it seems to fit for what you are building for your nephew

I'd have to mention the Antec 900 - He'll like the look + fabulous airflow

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...pk=antec%20900

For some reason it's 140$ I wouldnt pay more than 100$

Just an opinion

I agree, but his list shows a 450W, and most of the mid/low cases come with one installed. He could either use the installed PSU or not. It has a window, and lights, sexy enough for a 17 yr old, not a high end O/C machine case, and in budget.

I actually have the Xion Solaris, and its not a bad case.
But I'm not personally buying it again any time soon, perfect for a kid though.
Hook him up with some cathodes and he'll think it looks pretty sick.

CM Centurion 534...pretty generic case that doesn't look bad, and is pretty cheap. Got one for my brother, he loves it.

I've always had a huge crush on this case.

It just looks so clean.
