a buddy of mine got a rosewill case and PSU from newegg. the case was very flimsy and little things broke here and there over the first couple weeks - nothing significant (some dents, a chipped piece here, a crack there), but you could tell it was very cheaply built. heavy and lots of sharp edges too. oh, and the PSU died within the first month.

i would not recommend them.

its just a matter of copper (more widely used by nice PSUs) sinks vs aluminium.

What are you talking about? As jonnyGURU already stated AL is used almost exclusively; cheap crap, mid-range units, and high-end units all use AL for their heatsinks. Overheating is almost always the result of poor efficiency and not enough air flow.
