Is this RAIDMAX case any good?

Would this be a good case for cooling and powering:
Two 80 gig WD hdds
soltek nforce3 mobo
2800 amd64
mushkin 512mb ram
evga 6800 video card
1 asus cd-rw drive

The main thing im worried about is my graphics card, and my hdds shiiting out

If I had that hardware, I would personally go with a nice case (w/out a PSU) and purchase a quality PSU separately. It might cost a bit more, but I feel it would be worth it in the long run. My example, see below.

Agreed, the PSU that comes with it isn't too great..

if your looking for a case with a good PSU just go with a sonata

Don't go for that Raidmax. Just check out the PSU. 13 amps on the +12V rail is just pathetic for a PSU over 400W.

I second the Sonata.

The chassis itself is okay. I have the same chassis sold as an Aspire "Alien" case. Yep, the +12v is pretty weak, so if you like the look of the case, get it and get another power supply. FYI, I've bought some SuperFlower TTGI 350W power supplies that are rated at 22A for the +12v. Your 6800 video card would thank you if you a unit that "put out" more. BTW, IMO those style cases are pretty noisy, fan-wise.
