PortaTech -- Standard ATX case

[skyfujin]

Hello,

I recently made an order for a barebones system with Portatech. I have been concerned about the case and psu provided since I made the order, simply because they have absolutely no information about them on the order page. I just went with the basic package in regards to the Case and PSU so I am expecting the greatest case and psu ever made, but it would be nice to at least have a product name that I could look up and review the specifics before the package arrives via UPS.

For example I wanted to order a few Case fans(I don't think they provide any), however I don't what size or how many ports there are in the case that they provided.

Also I wanted to get a few details about the specific PSU that the system will be coming with so I know exactly what to expect.

Anybody else who has ordered a system with this configuration able to provide me with this info?

Do they have more then one case and wouldn't it be helpful if you mentioned which one you ordered?

The brand of case is important,unless it's a good brand,like Antec,Thermaltake,ect.,the PSU's that come included aren't very good.

Well I already mentioned the one I selected. I guess you would have to go to their site and look at it to see what I mean. They have a their page setup so you select a CPU & MOBO combo that you want, and then as you scroll down the page you can select add-ons that would like. For the CPU & MOBO combo deals they only give you a selection of 3 or 4 cases to choose from. The first selection(the cheapest) is the one I selected. The problem is, they only say Standard ATX Case, they do not give a brand name or model. It just plainly says: Standard ATX case with 450w PSU. That is why I am asking for any customer who also recently selected the same case with included PSU if they could shed some light on what the Case actually is that they will send and the PSU included. So that I an then lookup that particular case(Brand name and model) to find out what fans I can fit in it.

Well I received the product yesterday in working order. Everything I ordered. I still cannot figure out the brand of the case though as it has no markings and there was not indication on the packaging. However the case supports 3 120mm fans. One on the back, one on the sidepanel, and one in the front. The PSU is garbage though, 450w with 1 12v rail at 18amps.

The only complaint I have is a small problem with the case. They apparently took the front panel off when assembling/testing for whatever reason. When they put it back on they messed up on the Front Top Right screw. Instead of screwing it into the hole provided, it was screwed in sideways threw the hole and the screw was stripped. I didn't notice this until top of the front panel pulled out when I went to turn over the case.

They sent me faulty ram.
