    It doesn't look bad. I didn't read up on the PSU though. The case, it looks good and looks to have a good airflow. If you like dragons too, go for it. (Not sure about PSU)

    besides from the cae being obsolutly ugly in my opinion, and seems to be quite expensive for me, it should work fine...

    i could never make the connection with light blue -> dragons...

    Well, as he said, he likes dragons. So, for him, it will be fine. Though blue doesn't exactly go with the damn dragon theme altogether, you CAN buy red neon. I have red neon in mine. So, it's all good.

    Woot! 1000th Post.;)

    I looked over the PSU. I would just keep the one that it comes with. It seems to be a good one and it has nice wattage. If anything goes wrong, just replace it. It seems good though, so it's alright.

    Why would you suggest a replacement? 500Watts and seems to have nice connections. I, personally, would upgrade to a UPSU but that is me.

    It's ok, to make it simple, good voltage is what it needs. Watts does matter, but not as much as voltage.. a 450watt psu may be better than a 550 watt one for example :D

    Merged Post:


    EDIT i plan to build a system on 1500 us ordering from new egg i already have most of my parts sorted out

    Merged Post:


    I found the voltage rating on a review of the case is it good

    The 3.3v rails were 3.33v idle, and 3.33v with a full load.

    The 5v rails were 5.01v idle, and 4.95v with a full load.

    The 12v rails were 11.95v idle, and 11.92v with a full load.
