ATX size mobo? GPU? HDD/SSD requirements? Assuming a 240mm rad?

 

First thing that comes to mind is a Deepcool Tesseract

Carboard boxes work well, if you're up for a crafty project. And I'm being serious - as long as you cross-glue strong pieces of cardboard together, you can build furniture for free out of it, which means you can build a computer case too.

Just grab a nice strong cardboard box, put some holes in it, and you're good to go. Honestly, doesn't get cheaper than that unless you break out the Lego bricks you have on hand and build a testbench(I do speak from experience).
