    Odd i got same case there about 5 months ago for €55 , PSU is a noisy bitch and best replaced quickly but the case is very good, comes with 2 case fans and slot for one more.

    Dunno if its worth 90 online it was about that when i got mine.

    I've got that exact case, and just so you know, I bought it for only €55 in pc world in limerick 6 months ago cos i needed something in a hurry and it was simply the cheapest available

    Tis an ok case but the psu seems to be really weak, tisn't a problem for me as i have it running a p2 but am upgrading to a xp2800+ and don't know how well it will run my stuff.

    a few niggly points regarding the case itself, fans are really loud out of the box (i think you can oil them to make them quieter) there are no vents at the front for air intake even though there are mounts for a fan there. the temperature sensors that control the fans (automatically) are really short so in effect only one of them works, and finally the side panel isn't completely flush when you put it on so there may be problems with the screws losing threads in future.

    As I said the psu seems to be the major problem and if i was buying a new cae now I'd go for one of the following

    Antec Sonata

    Antec SLK 2600

    or a chenbro gaming bomb don't know what the psu is like on this though, and you can get the case and a decent psu for a similar price from jes, if you're buying other stuff off of them

    hope this helps

    Yeah I picked this up for €50 from PC world not so long ago. Not that bad for €50 but don't think I'd pay €90t for it. Try www.dtl.ie although the site seems to be down at the minute. They've a good range and cheap shipping.
