Ok, this isn't a question or problem but I'm just simply thrilled at the quality of this product, and for anyone looking for an opinion of this case, well.. here ya go.
Well, after a lot of debating and comparing, I picked up an Antec SX1030/Chenming/Chieftec/etc case branded by Enermax this time, and with an Enermax 350 watt dual fan PS. All I can say is that I am impressed!! The case's finish is a flat black, with light purpleish/blue feet, bezel, and handle. It came with three fans (two exhaust, one intake) and cools just great. The door works like a charm and the feature of removable drive trays is so useful and helpful. My temps lowered about 4-5C or so putting my stuff in this huge case. This mama is thick, sturdy, and heavy, and it's made to last. The drive rails work alright, but since I don't switch out drives enough, it's not like it's really nessecary. The case muffles noise a little better than my old budget case, and the difference between this and, say, a generic full tower, is night and day. It looks quite snazzy, and I doubt I've been this happy with a computer related purchase in a long, long time. A case is usually the longest lasting part of a PC, and by picking up this case, I'm assured that my PC'll be sitting in one of the nicest hunks of steel on the block.
As for downsides, I can only point out one. The front bezel is such a pain to remove. It's like there's clips hidden behind steel, and you have to really dig around to pop the thing off. I was afraid I'd snap a clip more than one time in the process.
Anyways, if you can find yourself a deal as sweet as this, go for it. The case and PS work just great, and you will not be disappointed.
