That link takes me to a general page and not a specific product.

In general, power supplies that come with a case are complete junk, even the Antec ones.

You've got the cart before the horse a bit here. First tell us what sort of system it will be running and what case it is going to go into please.

What components are going inside the case? You may need more or possibly less than a $100.00 power supply to run it all on depending.

well "Theman" showed me a Fortron 450W PSU for only $70 so I don't think I need a $100 PSU. This is whats going in the computer.

you don't need a 450W Fortron if you are buying a PSU for the system listed in your sig. The 400W AX400PN for around $55 at ncix should be more than adequate. Just a few days ago, a poster had a system with an X1900XTX, Dual Core Processor, and several HDDs, and he ended up buying the AX450 after many suggestions. Now, your system won't draw nearly that much power, so the 400W should handle it well.

For a case, I suggest the following. As a rule of thumb it is usually better to buy the Case/PSU separately so you can get the best of both worlds instead of sometimes having to stick with a good case manufacturer's Crappy PSU.
