WTB: matx case

i"ve got a CPU and a MoBo pulled from an emachine and my girlfriend needs a new comp right now shes running a old Compaq. i know emachines suck but i mean come on shes using a compaq 233 so i figured i can give here this but i need a MATX case i was thinking something a little different though im looking for something "unusual" help me out guys only thing ive found so far was http://directron.com/stratacase.html this really isnt her thing any other suggestions the PSU isnt necassary since i allready have the one from the emachine. unless it wont fit in anything you guys find. anyway im needing help one more thing it has to be cheap $40 max im thinking. hoping for less.

i suppose i could find an old micro atx case i have layin around here and ship it to ya...already has the Emachines PSU in it, was a case for an old 466 celery system from emachines...has a 145 watt psu, and is a nice case(just didnt work out with the 1.33 athlon mobo/proc etc i had in it, overheated to much...) it is a refurbished case, in great condition, and if ya want it, i could let it go for say 20 plus shipping???

Decent mATX cases seem to run a bit more than std. mid-tower cases. But there is one that I like on newegg. Search on: athena . Several color combos. And there is the AOpen H400.
. IAC, you didn't mention what CPU you're planning on using. That makes a lot of diff as to what PSU rating will be acceptable.

Yes, a mATX mobo will fit most std cases.

Also, while you're at newegg, check out the small evercase and the small enlight with the clear blue front panel. I think most females would like that little enlight.
There's a smaller, cheaper, plainer enlight at the top of the enlight case listings too.

I've got an eMachines mini-tower case w/ p/s. It was originally a 533 Celeron. Also it still has the floppy in it. You can PM or email me if you still need one.
