is this a good case?

[princejoe]

I am planning to build a system with a AMD 2500(barton) chip. I was wondering is this a good case? How is the the quality of it's power supply?

looking life a chemming/cheiftec spin off. the case looks decent. two 80mm intake and 2 80mm exhaust slots for fans should provide more than sufficent cooling. the PSU is suspect though, i wouldnt use a "mustang" PSU

Chieftech was my first ever case... great for beginers, and great if you want a lot of room. airflow is also pretty good.

my only complaints about their cases are purely stylistic ones

Ditto on the psu. I would guess that it would be sufficient for the time being though before you can get a new psu. Or transfer your old one into it?

Mustang...that's funny.

According to the product link, it's actually capaple of 4 90mm (I assume they mean 92mm) and 2 80mm fans.

And screwless PCI card installation. And some other awesome grammatical wonders, er, I mean features.

Thanks for all the feedbacks. So the case is good, right? If I want to get a psu to replace the one comes with the case, which one would you guys suggest?
I know Antec is a very good psu, but it's kind of expensive, I was thinking of getting thermaltake 420w. Thanks

I have the thermaltake psu and it uis very good no problems with it so .

 

[princejoe]

thanks for the reply, BouZouki.

What case did you use with the thermaltake power supply?

It's basically the Steel Model of their
Aluminum Case Design
With a bargain basement Power Supply.

The front plastic bezel makes it look different, but it's the same layout.

You could get the No Power Supply Aluminum model and
add a Medium Duty Power Supply

I seriously doubt that you will need more thab 400W, unless you're looking for bragging rights.

It came with my thermaltake LANFIRE. Click Meh!
