Go for the case, I'll second the Antec 300.
It's a little bit over, 57 CAD, but heh.

You can get 30 minutes with a lovely young girl putting herself through school for 50 "roses" on craigslist.

Honeslty though, you should save the cash for something better. Or, if you want a case, get a new case. You've answered your own question.
