ATX Mid Tower with 400 watt power supply for $49.99

Nifty looking case and with a 400W power supply, this LOOKS like a pretty hot deal. However, I've heard generic power supplies may not be the way to go and shipping is $21 (for me anyways). Maybe if I was buying 2 or 3 from them, then this deal would be a bit hotter. Definitely warm though.
 
whoa! nifty looking case. looks like USB front panel access, too. wonder if they'll upgrade to Athlon-approved power supply.
 
Well, head over to FuturePower's website... IIRC the USB front access panel is an option. But then again, FuturePower doesn't list a 400W PS as an option either! =]
There's not much cooling either... I might go fer it if I don't find anything interesting at computer show this weekend.
 
400 watts is more than most people will ever use. More importantly, it's not the size of the power supply (in watts) that counts but its ability to stay regulated under changing loads (transients). To that end, I've found no corrolation between supply size and power quality. A name brand power supply won't guarantee quality either but is usually a better bet.
 
I got this case with a 250W AMD Approved Power Supply at a computer show 2 weekends ago for my friend. Very nice case. The one I bought included the front USB ports, which was perfect for the MSI K7T Pro2a that I paired with it. Overall I liked the case a lot although a slide-out motherboard tray would have been nice. Definitely a good deal if you're looking for a halfway decent case. My only major problem was the floppy drive I put in it didn't work with the "floppy drive bay" in this case, but it was probably because I was using a really old floppy, so the screw-holes didn't line up perfectly.
