    Scrimp on the case by all means, but not the psu. It is the most vital component of a pc.

    But if you are really on a tight budget try this:

    Agree with that 100%......there is such a difference between a cheap PSU and a not so cheap one. Cheap ones tend to have terrible connectors, transistors etc.

    I bought a Corsair for my machine...best purchase ever!

    Antec Sonata III, comes with antec 500W dacent quality PSU for €133.

    Best bang for buck you will find: it costs more getting a worse case and a worse PSU separately.

    NEVER skimp on the case or the PSU.

    half the cost of the komplett one

    i have a sonata II, great case but its overbudget for this pc

    Seen these in PC World Naas the other day for €19.97. Picked up two of them my self as they'd come in handy for builds and at that price its good. Standard enough case with all screwless mounts, temp sensors, 92mm fans etc..

    Solid enough case for the price too.

    You'd need a PSU too but you could get a decent PSU if you went for that case.
