I just built a cheap system that I can't afford to lose. I'm a highschool student with a part time job trying to save as much money as possible. I went cheap with case and Power Supply and it burnt out, luckily it didn't take anything with it. I now know that going cheap on a power supply is a bad thing.

My question is what kind of power supply is good. Now I really want a case with power supply for under $100. Is it possible to get a case AND P/S for under that price?

Newegg refunded me the money for the case and let me have it since they thought it was an inconvience to ship back. Should I keep the case and just spend about $55+ on a power supply.

There was a Dynex case with power supply at Best Buy for $85. What do you guys recommend? Remember I'm on a budget so even something that comes in a Dell would suit me.
