A word of caution when buying a case.
Here's the cheap waste of $40.00 I just picked up
The front panel USB: I can't connect the USB to the motherboard
because it has 4 cables per USB, while the motherboard requires
9 cable connector.
The front panel Audio: I can't connect it to the motherboard, it
has a bunch of random cables which aren't named on the
layout for the motherboard.
There are some plastic doors that hide the drive-bays. Good in
theory, but they are made of a cheap plastic. I pressed the
button under the drive bay, and it snapped right off. If you're
getting a value case, get one that doesn't have lots of cheap
plastic bits that will fling off.
Overall, the case came with a 500W psu, and is getting the job
done atm. I have a high-end desktop where I spent $150 + tax
on the case and psu, so for $40, I really can't complain. I feel
deceived though because the website for this case claims it is
"the optimum solution for ... quad-core systems". They fail to
mention the ancient connectors on the front panel are not going
to be supported on any motherboard that actually uses a quad
core.
