Anyone with any experience with a XGBOX Viper?

I just saw a review of it and except for appearance, they weren't too impressed. The review was on Tom's Hardware.

Ya, saw that too. It just seems today that you either get good functionality or good looks, not both. I really like the looks of this case, and can live with only decent functionality. Just wanted to know if anyone has used this case and what their thoughts on it were. For $89 at Newegg and it includes a 500W PS, it's also a very inexpensive case. I want it, but looking for 2nd opinions before I buy.
 
That aluminum raidmax that newegg has on sale for $80. shipped is well designed (very similar to the Antec P-160) and has a 5-star buyer rating - but 1mm aluminum can be fairly flimsy if not well braced (the antec is 1.2mm).

Having a $89 case with a 500w PSU would make me think twice about the purchase. To be on the safe side, I would puchase a nice case w/out a PSU (I like the looks of this case) Cooler Master and then purchase a quality PSU that suits my needs.

Just looking at the Viper's PSU, it seems that it doesn't provide that much power for a 500W PSU (ie. +12V~19A). I've seen some 350W PSU's that have more power than the Viper's 500W PSU.
 
I own this case, and I love it. Expandability is awesome, tons of fan ports, it's got handles on top (steel i think, very nice), and its got that WICKED awesome LCD on the front. By the way, the PSU included with the case works great. Very reliable.
