SuperMicro Cases?

I have read about problems with 300 watt power supplies. I am interested in the SuperMicro 760A. Pentium 1.6A harddrive, dvd, cd-rw, video and sound cards. Should I go with Antec 1040? The SuperMicro 400W is $100 more than the Antec.

Go with the Enermax, FS-710 from newegg that comes with an enermax 330watt PS with dual cooling fans. Same style as the antec case your listing.
 
It's not as much about the 300W rating, it is more about the fact that very few 300W PSUs have a strong enough 5V line to power the motherboard. I think it is more of a problem with AMDs anyway.
 
I have owned both cases. I would have to say of the two, the Supermicro is clearly superior hands down. However if your budget does not allow it, the Antec will work also.
