Is this case worth it??

I am trying to save a little money on my new comp, so I am looked at some refurbished cases. I was looking at the one listed below, but I am worried that the power supply might screw up my system or something.

General Specs of my new comp

2.8Ghz P4 800FSB
P4P800 Asus Motherboard
9700Pro
120gig WD Hard drive
512mb Geil ram

NewEgg is reputatable so I wouldnt worry about it too much. However, I would call them up before ordering and ask what they will do if the power supply does mess up your system.

The PSU is one of the most stable components of the PC. It can die, but rarely(if ever) does it cause other components to fail.

Likely they have tested it as newegg like TCR said, they are reputable.
Maybe they will be able to test it for you. However I have seen a similar case like that for about 100 at a local store. So that isn't a lot of money you will save as it is 99 dollars still. but it still is a high quality case.

The power supply is probably the reason why it is now in the "refurbished bin", hopefully they replaced it with something equal to or better...

Actually, NewEgg doesn't test products.

Will Newegg.com test, burn in, or assemble the components I order?
Sorry, Newegg.com does not build, assemble or test computer components.
