Maybe, maybe not.
Some are ok, some are not. I wouldn't trust one I didnt know further than I could throw him.

Same as pevergreen. They will put a hefty mark-up on anything as well. Going to a computer shop is like writing the words "Sucker" on your forehead while they fondle you out of your money.
Only way to get things cheap is through various places which are cheap, computer fairs/markets, and otherthings, knowing exactly what you want and the price to pay.

Re: New Computer
I would suggest avoiding fancy side panels and the like: they cost additional money (notice that the cases with such panels are invariably cheaper), power (more money), and are probably rather annoying if you want to watch movies on your PC, not to mention boring if not embarrassing rather fast...
Furthermore such panels certainly do not do much good for the actual qualities of the case itself: typically the audio insulation (good cases are made in such a way that the case itself dampens the audio effects from the fans and reduces noise levels) is noticeably weaker, and the panel may also interfere with airflow (which means that your fans are running faster than they would do in an equivalent case without such a side panel).

Again, Antec 1200.
I'll seriously get a video of it running.
Re: New Computer
What I meant was aesthetically pleasing cases like this one.

No, it's certainly looking more gamey/childish than the second thing. My computer doesn't have to look like I'm some alien freak.

I bought the black version of this Titan Water case. It's the only case that I know of with a built in water cooling system. It's pretty cool and makes hardly any noise at all.
It's also pretty cool to have a radiator in the side of your PC.
