...And by that, I mean suggestions/links for a new case.

The case I ordered from Amamax didn't go through, and, as I've noticed, reputable case-makers generally fit all the criteria I want.

Criteria, even though this doesnt matter:

Black, Silver, or white color.
450+w PSU.
NO side-panel features. Ventilation holes, etc.
Space in the front for fans.

And so, If you all could mention some names here, I'd be greatful. I -really- wanna get this peice of crap off my desk and be able to play more demanding games =/

Oh, for the record, can't be over 60$. I need a case, but am not willing to sacrifice any of the componants for something that just looks vaguely pretty.

NEWEGG for the WIN!!!

www.newegg.com

Just go to cases and search for a 450watt Power from 0-60 bucks

Lots of options

seriously i think you should go rackmount.
the price limit rules out lian li.

i'd also like to point out that i spend more than that on my power supplies alone, and you should consider doing the same

Get something from antec.
My friend spent like $80 (CDN dollars so it should level out there.)
it has no side fans or bs like that, but it has a bunch of ventilation things at the front, and the racks are those screwless mounts.

Very cool case.

Thanks for all those who replied, but, because of MattxMosh being my personal hero, he recommended this:

http://xpcgear.com/silverhawkcase.html

Which, more or less gets all the req's out fo the way. And now, that I've calculated it out, Im 100$ under-budget, so, Ill prolly spend it on rediculous things. Like gas for my car, or -gasp- put it in the bank!

According to the site, it's actually brushed aluminum, and not white.

I dont care, either way. Blue light will look good coming from inside of it, be it white or silver.
