The PS is just OK...the looks are fantastic(to me) the cooling is extreme...and you can also purchase a pre made windowed side cover...see it here

Do you like the case? Matter of opinion, but I think it looks
ugly.

I got the same case you got Chum, but with a different color (blue)..
Only problem that the PSU came dead, but instead of rmaing it (needed a case) i just bough a new antec psu..
$40 (price back then) was a steal anyway..

A friend of mine has the black version. I like where the blowholes are mounted.

did you get it from newegg? from reading the reviews...it looks like you could have RMAd just the ps.

I built one of my machines with that case, but used a different Power Supply. I had to cut out the stamped fan grills on the back with a dremel, since they were really restricting airflow. After I cut the stamped fan grills out, case temp dropped dramatically. Nice case for the money.

Here's that same case minus PSU: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?description=11-150-017&refer=pricewatch
That's what I'm using with an Antec True Power 430 & w/Vantec Stealth fans it's surprisingly cool & quiet.

PS- Cutting out the 80mm fan grills and replacing them w/standard fan grills really improves airflow.
