Good review Dark. I need a new case. But 1st I want to tear into this cheap piece of crap. Have to get the nerve up to do it. Have a few ideas, but I keep discarding them. I was thinkng about rounding out the sides to look like jet intakes, and put fans in them, so they would be functional. Oh well. | ||

| dude those turbolink psus are really not that crappy (although i dont know which one this particular case uses) I'm running a 420 watter turbolink in my gaming rig now and ive seen very little variance in power fluctuation. it seems comparable to my enermax 430 but not quite as stable as my antec psu. it carries 28A on the +3.3, 40A on the +5 and 18A on the +12, for comparison, an Antec true power 430 carries 28A on the 3.3v rail, 36A on the 5v rail and 20A on the 12v rail. | ||

| yeah i fully realize that, and i also fully realize that i have boxes full of old p2 and p3 and k6-2 heatsinks that i fasten to all kinds of things in my pcs, from hard drives to video card bga to psus. I just find it personally silly to rule out a power supply that you get free or really cheap with a case because of a hunk of metal you could buy for 2 dollars at a local pc shop I pay ridiculous amounts of money for high performing pc accessories, but sometimes it just seems smarter to mod what you have. Now that being said, there are a lot of psus out there with inferior electronics inside, but so far i havent found that to be the case with my turbolink. Of course I've only had it for 9 or 10 months so only time will tell | ||

| by the way, you know that psu is made by channelwell (CWT) and is on the AMD approved list right? Channelwell used to make a lot of Antecs psus (they may still, actually not sure if they still do or not) *edit* just wanted to add bro, I'm not slammin your reiview, its definitely something worthy to point out to our readers, just want people to know that they dont suck quite as bad as they have been led to believe. overall a great review dark =D | ||
