$20 + tax is a good price.

I found this Forton Source PSU which seems to be the way to go for a new system @ 50.99+6.99 ship:

Will I be ok running a new system in this case with no fans for now, and add them later as I can find them?

You are going to want some fans with any newer computer set up.

I vist my local comp usa, checked the case out. Pretty flimsy @_@

 

[furballi]

Same observation. Not up to my standard for a value case.

Thanks for the post. I picked this case up last night and it will work perfectly for my next build. I have my CPU cubbyholed in a hutch, so all that shows is the front anyway. This is just the case I have been looking for. I would rather put money into other parts of the computer. Thanks again.

Don't forget the FAR PSU at CUSA.

For computers where the parts go in and that is the last it gets touched for years (with any luck) even the flimsiest case works for me. Personal preference though

I threw a system in this case yesterday...the steel on the back plain is fairly thin and flexes pretty easy, but it works.

The exhaust fan port on the back "looks" to fit 120mm through 80mm fans, but my 92mm fans didn't match up with the screw hole at all...might have been the fans...as my 80mm matched up fine on the back. The front does indeed look like it can fit four 80mm fans, but there are no screw holes on the outside corners, so each 80 mm fan will only be mounted by 3 screws....may vibrate bad since the steel is extremely thin and flexible.

Other than that, put it all togher and it works fine..little cheap after being used to my aluminum coolermaster....but it works just fine...

Any pics that you could host up for us? That would be really nice.

I also got notification that my cases shipped today

I currently have four 80mm fans installed in the front of this case, blowing air over the six internal hard drives mounted in there.

The cheapest fans at Fry's had blue LED's ($5 ea)

I don't have a fan in the back yet, but with all those drives I'm going to put one in back as well.

Yeah.

Configuring five 200GB hard drives in a RAID 5 array is tomorrow night's project.

Don't forget the FAR PSU at CUSA.

How is the quality of this PSU? Also, I am a bit confused as to how large a power supply you should have for a standard setup... say a P4, 2 hard drives, 2 or 3 DVD drives, video, etc. Would this be large enough (350 watts)?

After having gone through more power supplies than I care to remember, my rule of thumb is with power supplies is that 1)You get what you pay for and 2)Overkill is good.

I would pick up either the 400W or 450W fortron source powersupplies from newegg. They should be good for anything but a high end SLI setup.

It doesn't have rolled edges?

This Case does not have Power Supply.

There is MasterPower 350Watt ATX Power Supply from CompUSA for $0.1 AR.

The review said it is very noisy! Does anyone have this power supply? Is it really noisy?

 

[stembe]

Is this case also compatible with a MicroATX Motherboard? Thanks
