Several comments:

definately checkout www.ebuyer.com as well as Scan...
- almost always lower prices, and better delivery charges (like free if
your
order is over £100!)

Check that the PSU which is fitted with the case is suitable for an AMD
Athlon. - not all are,  - I recently had to upgrade two PSU's (at £20 each)
as a result of upgrading to an Athlon, which actually caused 2 ATX PSU's
(as
fitted in Scan cases) to die...

I believe the Ali cases don't include a PSU at all!

Yeah, this one! (and look at Tom's Hardware guide)
