Nice video Rich. Maybe make mention that they should also do some research into the type of power supply included. You don’t want to wind up with a bad one just because it comes with the case.

I was thinking of what hitchface commented on before I read his comment. Computer Shopper magazine in the UK tested a cheapo 500Watt PSU on full load and it literally blew up. Cheap cases that come with a cheap PSU are never a good idea; unless the PSU is rated at 500Watta and you know you’re only going to draw 250 Watts from it: Even then there’s the issue of stability. A cheap PSU will have lousy stabilisation and voltages on the outputs may vary by as much as 20% on load in a worst-case scenario – You’ll only admire the result of that if you like blue screens, GPU crashes, and boot-failures.
If you live in the UK a similar type of more local site is ebuyer.co.uk: You can shop there in almost exactly the same way.
Watch out for imitations. (e.g. Open Office. )
