About the case: The case is all about personal preference. If you're asking whether its sturdy or not, the former seems to be better. It is built with Aluminum and that should hold pretty well. Power supply, I believe I've heard people recommend Enlight and Coolmax - have a friend who uses it and it hasn't seemed to blow up or anything.
I hope that helps, kram

Either case is fine, but you should steer clear of that PSU. Try this one instead. Sparkle 350W

I thought that Fotron Source PSU's were made by Sparkle (or at least are quality PSU's because I believe that Cricket has recommended them before)?
The Sparkle recommended by Mr. N8 is a good choice. So would an Enlight or Enermx, around 350W (or 360W if you get the Enlight) should be more than enough. |
