It's replacing a really cheapy laptop (still lasted quite a while though). Right now have to keep it cheapest possible with their budget, if they don't like the case or whatever later on I can always help with that. They are not going to be opening it up or moving it around or anything, so as long as it works.

Personally I have a Cooler Master which I like, but honestly this Gigabyte case looks alright for 20 bucks. lol

Looks good to me, except you could potentially swap the PSU with the one that vailr recommended.
