I'm about to pull the trigger on this one... Supposedly the power supply is a rebadged Seasonic so I'll let you guys know the results when I receive it. I went into Fry's B&M 20 minutes ago and the price is $85.

I bought 50 of these at work over the last month and had not one single failure or imperfection on any of them. I didn't know about the PSUs, I got them because they were the only decent cost case with a name brand PSU I could find. Not the highest quality case available but a great value with some nice features, I really like the way the case comes apart.

reference?

Search NSK 4400 on the forums... I found a few threads where people mentioned that the power supply on the NSK 4400 was Seasonic OEM

I had this case and was not very happy with it. I found the Hard disk cage tended to rattle causing a lot of noise. It's one of those Hard disks cages that mount below the 5" drive bays and to the front of the case. Whenever my Hdd clicked it made a god awful clicking noise...btw I was running 2 Seagate 300gig sata drives and those cheap silicone washers that it comes with does not help

Edit,

Oh, it also doesn't have front head phone jacks. That may not matter to most of you.

It's not a bad case but I'd place it the same ranks as those cheap-o no name brand cases that can be had for much less.

Sorry PKPunk, but I'm going to have to adamantly disagree with you. I think they are a great basic case especially if you are looking for a case w/ power supply. I've bought 5 of them for my company. They all have worked perfect. Two of the cases even have Seagate SATA 300GB hard drives in them and I have never heard the noise you mention. All 5 of them are fairly silent. It does ONLY have 2 USB ports on the front, but for the office environment I work in that is perfectly fine.

I give this case two thumbs up!

One more note ... I bought all 5 of mine from the Antec B-Stock store. The B-stock claims to have visual blemishes on the outside but I've only seen problems with 1 case and it just had smudges in the case paint.

I'd have to completely disagree too. I used 250 and 400GB Seagate 7200.10's in the 50 cases and the rubber mounting kept it silent. With the rear 120MM fan and the PSU fan and a stock Intel C2D fan it was barely audible in a completely silent room at 3 feet. Of course the hard drive activity was audible, but there was no rattling.

I am pissed about this deal. I went to order it Tuesday night when the website said ships free, but it was still adding shipping charges to my total anyway. So I tried to call but they were already closed. I went to order first thing the next day but the ships free was no longer there, so I called and requested the free shipping as the site had said the previous day and the guy tells me he will ask his supervisor but he will say no. So he comes back and tells me that I should have ordred it anyway and paid the shipping then called for a shipping refund that is the only way I could have gotten free shipping because THEIR site was making an error. Pretty ridiculous.
