ya cooling is no problem with these cases . they are all the same pretty much with a different front plate. in this thread i posted some pics of the cases i got from amamax. here is a better pick looking at the back of the case from the inside . you can see that 2 80mm fans will fit in the front and a 70mm and 80 mm fan can go in the back .

Got my cases today. Fans and psu have to be put in (no prob). The case is somewhat flimsy and the window isn't spiderweb as advetised, but the 'X' Style. Not worth complaining about, IMO.
But hey, it's got the plate so the floppy matches, thumbscrews, a fan already in the window and was super cheap!
I'll put it together and run it to see if the psu barfs

i have one of these running right now...same case, only black and no window...its a bit flimsy but once you install everything, it gets stronger....good cases IMO!

Only prob so far is the fact that it has only 3 of the large power connectors (for hdds and cdroms).

bombledmonk...Duro power supplies in my opinion arent the the worst Power supplies out there but also not the greatest...I've had one that was good...good specs and worked fine...the next one was VERY poor...way off specs, caused power-up problems and eventually died...
They are iffy at best.

Urban_Squrill...... have you used Aida 32 or something similar to check what your voltages are actually running?
You may be surorised at how far they are off.
Ive teated 3 of those "Power Magic/By Xcase" PSU's and they have all been way off. Just something to check...
