I was wondering if this is a good case for my first time build?

I've haerd that this case is flismy but i didnt know how much that would matter. I would only take it somewhere maybe 1-3 times a year and it wouldnt go too far, even then. Would it still be to flismy for me?


Im trying to keep the price down as much as i can. I was going to toss the PSU and get a ENERMAX Whisper II but will this one be enough for my system (in my sig).

Here is the ENERMAX http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817103464


Im dont care if i can use the PSU from the case or not, it would just be a nice thing to have. I am mainly concerned about wether this is a quality case or not? This is my first build so i want it to be reliable. If you do not recomend this case, what one do you suguest i get? I do want a good a looking case.

well depends on your budget. My powmax case only cost 26 dollars and its quite nice. REally light and even has a handle ontop. Now for powersupplies...I agree, PowMax makes horrible powersupplies. The 400watt one that came with my case was horrible. I read the reviews and decided to experiment with it. I plugged it onto 4 80mm fans and powered on. Within 10 minutes, the powersupply died!~:eek: LMAO!
 
Powmax cases are not so great because they are built with thin metal. If you like lightweight cases, to each his own. I personally prefer heavy cases.
 
I dont really care how heavy my case is? Should I?
I am on a somewhat tight budget. I hope to keep it under 700 (see the system in my sig)
