Need "poor man's P150" for client.

Gonna build a quiet system for a client on a tight budget. I usually build with the P150/solo case. Are there any cheaper Midi NSK cases or something that you can swear by?

Thanks!

NSK 3300/3480

Stock PSU is 80+ certified, and very quiet.

Agreed. Only good with a single harddrive though

The NSK4480 and NSK4480B are probably closer in size to the SOLO/P150. And they are also ATX cases. The NSK3300 and NSK3480 are uATX cases.

You might also look at the Atlas server case from Antec. It's basically a SOLO without the dampening and cable management cutouts and with a side vent. A bit more utilitarian looking but it does come with a half-decent powersupply.

the 3000 line doesn't help me as he wants AtX...

The 4480 with the earthwatts seems up for the job.

Thanks!
