iMicro CA-IM1202P 400W 20+4pin Mini ATX Mini Tower Case (Black)
$25.99
You'll need some DDR3 RAM too. Newegg has had 8GB (2x4GB kits) for as low as $35, and there have been rebate deals for less. If nothing else, Microcenter has house-brand DDR3, $20 for a 2x2GB kit.
So under $250 for a six-core cruncher machine that can likely be pushed to 4Ghz.
