im looking for a good but hopefully cheap psu or case ..

it will be runnin a amd 64 3500 , 6800gt

any suggestions ?
Ste
no, cheap and good do not combine for PSU, u either get a good one for higher price or crappy one for cheap, I wouldn't have a cheap PSU power that stuff anyways. save ur money u won't be disapointed.

I dunno. I've got a Coolmax 400 and it's great. Best rated PSU on Newegg, and only costs $35

You can't always believe the online review hype. Man you don't know how stupid I felt when I based performance by online reviews, then I wen't ahead to either buy it or test it and been horribly disappointed (logitech)

incase anyone wonders the specs of the above mentioned suppy are:

3.3v: 38A; 5v: 40A; 12v1: 18A; 12v2 : 16A; -5v: 1A; -12v: 1.2A; +5v sb: 2.5A

according to one newegg review, not too bad for the price, but idk how the quality of the supply really is inside.

that one sucks (not to put it bluntly). I would never in hell trust a 30 buck PSU, especially a 520W one. It is not from a name brand even. Here is a list (for people to add to) of brands to trust:

OCZ
Antec
PC Power and Cooling
Tagan
Enermax

I like my Aspire Chameleon. OCC did a review on it and liked it too! See.

Well I would suggest an OCz or an enermax. Enermax has great customer support.

Its like I said, all cheap PSU's suck. if they didn't theyd cost more making them not so cheap hence, why the words "cheap", "good" and "PSU" are never seen in a sentence together.

Skynet
yea all these guys are right get a good psu don't take a risk by getting a cheap one and screwing ur system over.

I would personally get the FIRST one you posted, being ATX 2.0 that helped it alot, and it's actualyl a $60 PSU for the ppl who didnt notice $30 instant savings. Neither is great, but you could certainly do worse when trying to fit taht budget...seriously though saving for better stuff is a GOOD idea.

im not so sure about the price list for the psu over there but at my place, the silverstone's psu are cheap and have rather stable railings.
