Here's one for a little over $40 with an ATX PSU included (I would not use it, but that way we know ATX fits).

The only other two I could find are here and here. 

 

They don't look the best, but it's all I could find for <$50, slim, and microATX. Hopefully it helps or gets you started at least!

 

There're also mini-towers. They're not slim, but smaller than mid-towers. Here is one for example.

I'd like to know if there are any slim tower cases with room for a full sized power supply and a full sized graphics card? I want it to stand vertically too. Cheaper is better.

RVZ01/RVZ02 or Node 202 but you need to get an SFX PSU.

 

EDIT: Bitfenix Pandora seems to fix your bill but it's spendy.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

None of those support a full sized power supply, only the SFX mini power supplies.

Edited above - a Pandora Core is spendy but it may work.

Thats really nice and I would love to have it but its way outside of my budget, got anything else good for me?

Edit: Oops forgot to mention my budget is 50 dollars.

Ah yes budget would help some ;) Lian-li might be a little out of it LOL. I'll look for some stuff, but those mentioned above are really the only ones that I know of too :/. 

 

Is there any reason it needs to fit a full-size PSU? SFX works just as well :).

I just cant afford to buy a new PSU at the moment, but my psu right now is garbage so I may just buy one anyway.

Ah ok, didn't realize you were moving it to this system. Of course, I always recommend having a quality PSU as it's the one component in your system that can singlehandedly burn down your house/kill you (although it probably won't). The GS series from EVGA is a very good, relatively cheap option for SFX. Seasonic also makes good ones.

 

I'll look around for more cases, but I can't make any promises! I'll do my best though.

There're also mini-towers. They're not slim, but smaller than mid-towers. Here is one for example.

Thank you so much for all your help! I think I may just save up for a little longer and get one of the SFX PSU's, those are some ugly cases, yknow?

Yeah they are pretty bad xD lol. The Node 202 is a fantastic option - very worth the extra money in my opinion.
