Posted October 11, 2013 No offense but you might want to invest some of that money in a quality power supply, a nice case is fine but if your power supply fails it can take out the whole system, also with a non-modular power supply you are cant avoid cable management issues, additionally a good psu allows you to upgrade and expand the components. Ideally the psu would out live the case not the other way around.
