Hi Microcenter has this inexpensive case ($24): <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0161633">ATX Pentium 4 Mid-Tower Computer Case
</a>

Which contains this PSU: P4ATX-400W Dual Fan

Could someone please comment on the PSU? It looks decent, but I can't find any reviews. Thanks!

I can't see how you could expect much from a $24. case w/PSU unless it's a truly special deal like newegg did with the Chyang Fun cases w/ Delta PSUs a while back.

Pretty much BigEd, except using less overclockable ram so only overclocked to about 2.5GHz. Looking for a cheap case to hand this system down to my brother. He won't be in and out of the case like me, so he doesn't need a stellar case and only needs a PSU that will allow moderate overclocking. The site says this is a server power supply, so maybe that suggests it's built decently...

I don't know anyone that would trust a server to an off-brand PSU... Let's face it. That PSU is an unknown quantity. I'd keep that PSU for backup and put a 250-300W Sparkle/Fortron in it for peace of mind.
