Does anyone know where I can get a cheap sleeper computer case? I need something in the range of 30-40$. I already have all the components, I just need the case. Thank you in advance!

Look at your local classifieds for like old Dell, HP, or Acer desktops.

Facebook marketplace has been a bit livelier than craigslist the past 2-3 years. Give that a go

Try a local recycling company
