I don't really like that case, get something like this with a good quality PSU.

I own a slightly older revision of that case, and it's really showing its age. Enlight hasn't done much to update the design to the 21st century really. Those USB ports at the bottom are poorly designed, and some flash drives, etc. will not fit into that tiny space. The only case fans in there are an 80mm intake and 80mm exhaust, so it's hard to get good airflow through the case. I'd go with an Antec SLK like the above poster recommends.

i realy like the simple Rock soild case that it is.. but your right i am not to sure how esay my stuff will fit in there.. i do know it has options for 2 80mm fans one front one back.. i was also planing to put in a Window kit with a 80mm fan so that would be 3 + my Motherboard fan.

and add this. THERMALTAKE Silent PurePower TT-420AD(DUAL FAN) ATX 420W Power Supply 115/230 V

if i could drop it i would just go with that a Lian Li.

i gess my real issue is will all my stuff fit in there nicely

The enlight is pretty much a standard mid-tower case - no reason your stuff wouldn't fit. But if it were me, I'd go for the Antec SLK3000-B too. It's a much more modern design with 120mm fan mounts front and rear (only 1 comes with it) and rubber bushings for the hard drives. Plus you can get it for less than $50. shipped on Amazon or Provantage.com .

The Enlight is the definition of boring, check out this InWin.

zepper, Operandi are the 2 cases you mentioned build like a Rock as them Enlight tend to be.?

I've used all three; in my opinion the InWin is the most "rock" like. The included PSU is also built by Forton, if you need more power there is a 400ish watt version for around $70.

ty! operandi

the 3000-B is 19 pounds net (w/o PSU) - can't be too flimsy.I think they do use mainly 0.8 mil metal for this one so it isn't probably as strong as the enlight if they are still using 1.0 metal. But this is plenty strong enough and more "environmentally friendly" as is takes less material to make and costs less every time it is shipped. But I wouldn't use one for a stepstool as I did my old 7227 on occasion.
