The Aopen HX08 is a good case with plenty of room, drive-bays and fan
mounts. It looks good and is pretty cheap too. Easy to work in, the only
downside is the poor panels - you have to slide the side panels all the way
back to remove them.

Get a 300 watt power supply. Anything less and you will be sorry. Simple as
that. Period.

Look at the Antec model KS-280 or 180, Elan Vital T-10, and the plastic
exterior cases at www.paloaltoproducts.com (OEM for Dell & others). The
plastic cases will be quieter (i.e. less resonance noise from hard drives &
fans).

Go read Anandtech's article about powersupplies www.anandtech.com and
you'll feel mighty embarrassed about your recommendation.

Egghead/OnSale currently has a special; $57 for an Enlight 7233
mid-tower 3-pc metal case with 250W PS and 1.44MB drive installed. Free
shipping.

I got the Enlight 7237; pretty good, though I needed a floppy drive.

Why in the world would an intelligent company bother to create
such a web site and neglect to furnish prices or sources from
which they can be purchased? I wouldn't consider their cases
without having a good idea of their cost - with my power supply
of choice.

Because, as is stated on their web site, the company "offers housing
solutions for PCs and integrated barebone enclosure products to
distributors, system integrators, VARS and house-brand PC manufacturers in
the Northern American and Worldwide markets. "

No mention of retail sales.

That was easily assumed. But don't you think a list of their
vendors is in order? Why bother with the site unless you're going
to provide a way for customers to obtain them.
