Cheap PC case that supports MicroATX and slimline PSU

[SirPatrickStewart]

Hi guys, so I'm having a hard time upgrading an old PC. I'm looking for a inexpensive (25-40$ USD) slimline case that'll support this shape of power supply and this motherboard.

 

Any help will be appreciated. No GPU is going into this case, just the basics for light browsing / office work.

There something like this that is only 3.9 inches thick and has an included psu, but the quality may not be so good on them, but plenty for office use.

Those cases seem good for office, but if you want to look at some mid-tower like these (IMO for office you could save some space):

• http://pcpartpicker.com/part/thermaltake-case-vl80001w2z
• or other: http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/case/#X=0,5340&sort=a8&page=1

changed the third link so it shows prices without the mail in rebates, because who needs those

I quite like the first one since it's definitely a money-saver coming from Newegg's promo. My only problem is, will my PSU fit fine in there? I'm asking this because I fear it may not have a spot to latch onto or will overlap the motherboard, causing me to return it.

I think the standard ATX psu will most-likely fit in there. And i don't think it would overlap the motherboard.

Better info then the rear I/O picture won't be found. Just bite the bullet, and trust the standards (except if you use something like RMx psu )

Welp, I don't have a standard PSU, just the slim one (as originally linked above). I suppose I'll be sticking with one of SLAYR's options.
