Has anyone heard of this case and power supply do think it is good

Mr.Suave · 02-01-2006, 02:37 AM

the power supply on that case isnt good. it only has 18A on the 12V and you want something 30A or above.

Ok so whats a good Case and PSU combo for under 100.

**Praetor** · 02-01-2006, 02:52 AM

Why are we doing psu research to start with??? We have stickies (PSU 101) to deal with PSUs and a bit of clicking does the rest

After reading that article I learned some stuff. I think this PSU will suit my need. So what is a good case at Newegg for the 50-70 doallar range.

I think I might get this case and swap out the power supplies. Could you guys show me some good cables.

5u1c1d47m0nk3y · 02-02-2006, 10:02 PM

I think I might get a single core 3700+ because it has better performance in gaming are which is pretty muchall I will be doing. Then I can get a sick keyboard, mouse, and speaker. What do you think.

No, get the dual core. Much better choice and it will play games much better than the single core very soon.
