RAIDMAX Case

Do you think the powesupply coming with this case is any good? It will be running a intel dual core processor, (2.33ghz) 8800GS video card, ASUS P5NE-SLI mobo, one hard drive /dvd drive

It would save alot of money getting it, but i dont know how reliable it is

No.

Look at the Antec Sonata III if you want a case/power supply combo.

If not, just get them seperate.

What makes this case/psu so much better? It only has one 120mm rear fan. The Raidmax case seems alot nice/ cheaper it has 1 120mm fans and 3 80mm fans and the 500 watt psu.

The quick answer is that Raidmax power supplies are terrible quality. You risk instability or worse. Antec power supplies are much higher quality, I would use one over a Raidmax anyday.

If you like the case then just remove the PSU and put in a quality unit. Most case/psu combos you pay almost nothing for the PSU because they are very low quality and cheaply made.
