Most of the user reviews seemed pretty positive, and I checked a couple reviews on websites and they all gave it a thumbs up.

I\'ve been doing some computer repairs at work lately that have just been disasters, I\'m pretty nervous that my build will end up the same way. I\'m fairly good at these kinds of things, just having lots of bad luck lately. (I just bought a new Win XP pro, and the serial doesn\'t work...)

Super Pi 1m indeed.

not much to tell, its not like as if that case will kill your PC, it will kill you long before that lol

its just that most cheap cases (like this one) use thin metal, and often a lot of sharp edges are in the case, holes not lining up properly, sometimes the sides vibrate with fans, so theyre sometimes noisy, small holes for fans to suck air through causing less airflow, more noise.. stuff like that... harder to work with..
I didn\'t really think it was that much of a deal when i bought my first MS-Tech case, which had a lot of thumbs up but after a few years on overclockers forums, i learned a couple of things about cases, but i never thought it would be this much fun to work with a quality case when i bought my thermaltake..

btw, good luck with your Xp license, the box you got it in was still sealed properly right?

edit: about cheap cases killing you, thats an overstatement they will leave a couple of scars to remind you of them though
