I don't see a lot of comments on this board about the aspire x-dreamer II case. Are people content with it. I really like the way it looks, but I don't want anything super loud and I do question the PSU. The alternative is to get a decent, cheap case and psu. There is a coolermaster that looks nice, but I honestly don't know if I want to spend $50 on a case with no psu.
Any thoughts?

Aspire makes junk, I would stay clear of them.

InWin makes great cases and the included PSU is built by Forton Source.

Thanks for the replies. It seems coolermaster makes some good cases. It is definitely on my list. Keep any and all opinions coming! :)

I am currently using 2 aspire X dreamer cases....
One I have kept stock including the fan!
I do not find the case or the OKIA 420 Power supply to be noisy at all

On my case I have modified it and I currently have 6-80mm fans and 1 - 120 mm fan not including the CPU and VGA or PSU fans!!

I love my cases!

The next case I get will probably be a Coolermaster case!

Have a nice day!!

The Okia 420 that I compared to other psu's had roughly the kind of performance (and weight) of the 180 Watt rated units from reputable psu manufacturers. A Powmax 450 was worse than the Okia, but not by much. I'd give you the Powmax if you like unreliable junk psu's so well, but you aren't currently an enemy!

:thumbsdown:

Meanwhile, I liked some of the features of the Aspire X-Gear box (was the "Turbo", but had a name change), so I'm going to get one and see how I like it in operation. It'll be the first box I'll have had that came from the factory with a top blowhole already in place.


:cool:

OK, I think I have decided to not go with the aspire. Now I have to find a decent psu for ~$50...
Thanks everyone!

I'm probably going to go with a coolermaster PSU since there is the one in hot deals for $30 AR. Seems like a decent PSU. Agreed?
