Is this going to be a dedicated folding machine? If so, I would go with a $30 case (local if possible to save shipping), and just use the stock cooler. It seems like overclocking doesn't give a huge impact in folding from what i've heard.
Also if it's dedicated, you can pick up a ps3 for $500 or less. I think they are on par with a q6600 for folding, not positive though.

Why would you build a PC just for folding?

I'd put that quad in your rig, and make that Celly a folder.
It's great to have a dedicated rig (I will soon, too) just for folding, but I'd personally worry about keeping my main rig in the fast lane, moreso than my folding rigs.

I think the AsRock 4CoreDualVSTA would be a better motherboard since it also supports Quad cores and is cheaper. Plus (if you're crazy), you can put in two X18xx/x19xx cards in for even more folding.
Then you could run it with no case or with a cheap ATX one. They shouldn't cost much more. edit: plus you can use old DDR RAM, if you have any
