Why?!

[LTF]

Are 300w PSU's about £35 when you can buy a case with a 300w PSU for £30?

Unless i'm looking in all the wrong places... Like the back of the sofa

Right.... thanks for that most helpful input


I ordered two cases today anyway, just means i have two redundant ATX cases wi no PSU's sitting around now

£30 cases with build in PSU's are quite simply cr*p quality

You are correct buy pro cases only.

This reason I know this is because I myself purchased a £30 case (was fooled that it would be ok, LOL) lasted a month, then the buttons fell off, and the PSU started overheating badly

Still a lesson well learned

I paid £40 for a "Pizzatop" Case, its 300w Athlon Approved Power Supply, and has USB on the front, ONLY downfall is i wasnt given the fucking Manual on how to setup the bastard Front USB :/ so i have to use a USB Card

i can recommend VASCO cases they really are good pro cases @ £60.00 hit but no probs and they accept AMD / INTEL with good heat disapation points.

I suspect cases with USB panels in them, I've owned three motherboards with USB extension connectors onboard and all of them have different pin-outs, the provided back-panel with extra USB sockets was not compatible between them, how you connect the case to the motherboard would rather confuse me.
