Aspire

I would seriously consider replacing that PSU. I believe it has 13 amps on the 12V rail which is absolutely horrible, especially for a "rating" of 420 Watts. There are a fair share of horror stories with Raidmax PSU's. Seeing as you are running a 6 case fans, 6800, 2 HDD, and 2 Opticals, that's asking for trouble.

1. Raidmax and Aspire, both junk.

2. 6 fans is competly pointless and overkill.

I just bought that case a few weeks ago and I really like it, lots of room and put together well. My case and MOBO temps went down by a fair amount. I did however replace the raidmax PSU with my old PSU since that one is running great still and is a better quality PSU. I also changed the raidmax fans as they were not that good. I'm sure there are better cases out there, but I do like the raidmax that I bought.

Metal is flimsy on most Raidmax and packaging is poor resulting in an above-average amount of shipping damage. PSU should have at least 15A on the 12V rail - more like 16-18 at that power rating. Not an up-to-date design now that most good mobo designs are running the CPU off the 12V rail...
.bh.

i was origionally going to buy that in my June build (but i got smart and waited so i could get better junk), but then i picked out the TT Tsunami. I read many a review on that Raidmax case and most places said it was very nice. The PS i would recommend replacing with the one i have in my sig (only $55 at newegg). I've personally seen the 868 ones at a local milwaukee pc, and they look pretty nice (except for being too small in my opinion).
