I post the following only for consideration. Purchase your case of choice sans power supply. I suggest a locking pin type (no screws needed for mounting hardware) with a removable MB mounting panel (for ease of MB installation). Then purchase a 450 - 1000+ watt modular power supply (better for airflow and aesthetics). I have never purchased from the following company, www.xoxide.com and give the URL only for your perusing as to what is available in the way of cases, power supplies and other goodies.Have fun and keep MB instruction book at hand, your going to need it. amasiam While I make no pretense to being an “expert” conserning computers, I have been assembling PCs for better than a decade.
