its a $42 case with a 420 watt power supply (i have no info on this yet, as the comp isnt completed)
my quick review.
when i picked up the box i immediately noticed the lightness of the entire box, my antec is insanely heavy, but this thing was a paper weight. I opened it up, typical packaging etc. The case seems to have an Antec based front to it, the front panel is eerily similar to my 1080, but smaller. However the panels all were very flimsy, and not sturdy at all. The black paint job is shiny, and the case itself comes with 3 fans on the case, and 2 on the powersupply (one is like bolted onto the inner part of the power supply). The design is subjective, but not bad. Paint is nice, but looks like an old car with overspray on the interior of the panels. One spot of the case already had been dented or more like poked, not sure how, but its miniscule and would only be noticed with the right light due to how it reflects the light. When installing the MOBO, there are no labels on the tray themselves, so yo sorta have to just guess at the correct spots to put the standoffs on. it is deffinately not a tool less case. The rear panel had to be snapped off to allow for me to install my mobo's back panel. The hard drive bays were very very tight, slipping in the WD 250gb SATA drive was interesting as the holes did not line up perfectly, they were slightly off, with the hols on the motherboard.
I have yet to put in a CD drive, but i see this as being difficult as taking the front panel off is giving me slight difficulties, but i did not try very hard.
Also, the fans are very quiet, not library quiet, but they arent noisy enough to bother anyone.
as for the power supply, it has the 24 pin and 4 pin connector, and an sata power connector, which so far seems enough connectors, but i have yet to test the power supply for current, or draw or anything as my CPU is lost by Fed Ex.
pros: innexpensive, shiny, sturdy enough, good sized
cons: cheap, lots of sharp spots, not tool less, no removeable tray, hard drive bay is very tight
For an inexpensive case with PS i would reccomend this case if you are looking for one
