Im looking for a new computer case
I don't need anything special or out of the ordinary.
I would like usb and headphones slots in the front if possible, and a decent power supply. This is for a home pc with no gaming etc.
But the tough part is I hate black and I don't want white. I'm wondering if anyone knows where I could find a colored case like a light color. I don'trreally want silver either.
Thanks. It doesn't have to be a smallcase. I suppose if I could find a quiet running one that'd be good.
Is a pastel pink or yellow case possible?

It all boils down to what you want to spend.
Cases come in all sizes and colors and if you don't find one you like, and are good with a dremel make your own and just buy a power supply.
I have one system that's a mini ITX stuffed into a reproduction Thomas steeple radio "I couldn't hack up a real one just to use for a case". But you can find cases on New egg as deeptango stated or Tiger Direct, Amazon, or wherever that will probably suit you.

Once you find a case you like, then read a review about online. Some cases are a real pain to work with, some cases will actually cut you with sharp edges. Here are some sights that offer reviews, and even if one case from a brand gets raves, it does not mean all their cases will. Unless it is a brand like Lian Li or Silverstone.

Of course you can always google the brand and model of the case you want and see if someone has reviewed it.
As far as color goes, Spray Paint if you can't find what you want. Just give it light coats and color sand it and it will be as nice as anything from the factory.
I would personally recommend not getting a case with a built in power supply. You will get more choices and a better power supply for just a little bit more money. The sites I linked above also have power supply reviews. But, Enermax, Corsair, PC Power and Cooling, Antec, Silverstone are good brands for power supplies.

Thank you all for being so helpful!
Some of my out of town appointments got moved up much earlier than expected so I'm out for a couple days. But I'll research all you've all listed here in a few days and let you know if I find something or have more questions etc.
I wondered about that and figured good price cases may not have the best power supply.
What's the best voltage recommended for a power supply?
Does the brand of power supply matter or just the speed of power?
Next how do I find the quietest running one-but yet still a big enough to work on inside rather than a tiny case where all the parts barely fit into?
