A friend and I are building a Hackintosh and are wondering what CHEAP case we can buy that will still hold our parts together neatly.
Our Parts Are:

2600k Intel Core i7
Gigabyte Z68X UD3H B3
Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 1GB
Scythe Shuriken B Cooler
3 Western Digital 1TB HDD 7200 RPM
Antec 650W PSU
12GB DDR3 1333 MHZ RAM
 
What about Fractal Design Core 1000?


EDIT.
Nevermind, you'd need mATX, and Core 3000 is not cheap ;>

Any case that is rated for ATX boards. Did a quick search on Newegg for $10-$50 cases and come up with http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007583%204093&IsNodeId=1&name=%2410%20-%20%2425
 
Not exactly sure how cheap you want to go, but I'm likely going to throw my Hackintosh into an Antec Three Hundred Two case. I have my custom Win 8 box in a Three Hundred (original) now and I love it. V2 has many great improvements over the original such as side mount drive bays (toolless) and USB 3 on front of case (x2).
 
Thanks I'll start looking at those right now.
 
The Antec is very functional and is worth the price but, i think it is a little out of my price range. This is probably the next case I'll get after I get everything setup and functional in the case I am currently using.
