looking into purchasing this case...

What does everyone think about this case for my new computer(Shadowfax)?

Enermax Beige/White, 10-Bay, Enermax 330W P-4 PS, Server Tower Case

Its $99 at Newegg...I really don't want to spend any more money than this. Has anyone had any experience with this case previously? I'd appriciate any comments you might have...thanks in advance.

looks great and those fan holes will do your system good, 330W is ok, i'm assuming enermax will use their own psus, so it should be of good stock. but in the future you may find 330 to be a little limiting
it looks just like those antecs..
have you taken a look at the $88 antec 1030 also at newegg??

The antec and the enermax are the same case. They're made by Chieftech I believe. I'd go with the cheaper one, as the only difference would probably be the power supply.

I will assure the Antec and Enermax power supplies are NOT the same. Now which do you choose ?

I've had good luck with both Antec and Enermax PSUs. Which one would you guys reccomend of those?
