gonna be building a comp for a friend anyone see anything wrong with this case http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...ion=11-132-020 in particular im curious about the PSU...

I got one of NewEgg's economy cases for my son's PC (top of THIS page). It came with a 300 watt power supply but it only has 3 molex plugs for connecting the hard drives & CD drives in addition to the floppy plug. It was OK for his PC since he runs a mATX board anyway. Take a close look at the picture that shows the power supply harness because I count only 3 drive plugs on your case also.

The case was also made of very thin metal and had quite a bit of flex to it.

If I have to make one suggestion to someone building a new PC, it's that they don't scrimp on a case. Get a good one. And get a good power supply. Scrimp on the motherboard or RAM or something else. You'll regret that a lot less in the future than you will a cheap-o case. At least in my experience.

Personally, I don't care for that case, but mine is a big black box with no windows or visible fans, so I might not be the best guy to ask.

I usually go with an Inwin or Enlight case when building for friends if they don't want a premium case. They are a nice "mid range" case. You can usually get one for about $55 at NewEgg. I've never had a power supply problem with them either.

I got this... http://ahanix.com/platinumxp.html

Great case and fairly cheap.

has anyone ever seen or used these tiger pro PSUs?

I haven't, but the one in the picture of the case looks pretty cheap. Not many connectors. Not even a sheath for the cables. I'm a big Enermax fan. My Enermax 350W is pushing four hard drives, two CD-ROMs, an ATI Radeon 9500 Pro, and nine fans. I payed $50.

ok well he likes the case but when he saw my case with the flames and then he saw this he decided he wanted me to mod one for him. so now im looking for a basic beige eye-sore so i can turn it into a masterpiece



id like a one with PSU included prefferably in the $30-$40 range. room for a window isnt necessary he doesnt want that just fancy paint
