can anyone tell about this combo

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2215103&Sku=TC3J-2145

is that a good price to pay for both. i really like the combo, but i would like some opinions before i spend 130$. also if i do end up buying this PSU/Case combo can anyone point me in the direction of two decent 120mm fans. i need somehting that can move alot of fan and is also quiet.

maybe something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811998121

i am open to suggestions. thanx
 
i wouldnt say its a bad price thats a very sharp looking tower and powersupply. Its got good airflow thats always important. THat powersupply isnt some cheap one either its a great one. I got this tower for $51 including shipping (no powersupply)
Overall id say thats a decent price

I only checked out the PSU as the case really isn't important, just depends how flashy you want your computer to be.

The PSU looks great...17A@+12V1 and 18A@+12V2. 550W is okay, depends on your other sytem specs though. If you are running a really demanding computer, say an AMD X2 and a 7900GT, you might need just a tad bit more.
 
i am running An AMD 3700 and a nvidia 7300, so i think i should be ok. does anyone have a review on the case though.
 
Hey thanks I was looking for a case that I liked. The case look great. And all the features. It was more than I wanted to spend but it look like a great case.
 
not entirely.....

its fine more standard use, and well, lets be honest here. most of the people on these forums aren't giga OC'ers, so don't need 1KW PSU's... for a normal athalon or semperon PC, with a midrange 7600Gt say, 350W is fine...

when youve got phasechange, watercooling, 4 HDDs, some BH-5 and a CPU running at 60% faster than clockspeed, then you need a huge PSU.


on the other hand, you could just buy a cheap 500W PSU thats badly built, sounds auful, and breaks down, killing some of your data/hardware...

if you can afford it, go for a better PSU, but for the cost, you know your getting a v. good PSU.........

(ive got one in an old athalon XP rig at home.)
