Well my ps is going out. My motherboard says i could fry an egg on it and it is doing intersting things.

So I am going to get a new case and PS Fri or Sat and I need your opinons. The power supply I have now is a POS but I want to make sure my choices are not bad.

It is for a P4 Sys.

Fan: total 5
Front Door
Front-2x8cm; Rear-2x8cm; Side Panel-1x8cm w Blue LED
Power Supply: None
USB: USB2.0/IEEE 1394 Port

And the power supply will be:
Antec TRUE Blue 480Watt Power Supply w/ Blue Internal LED Illumination
Antec Low Noise Technology

And the total bill is $89.00 for the case and $105.00 for the PS. No sales tax and local pick up.

Why do you need a blue light in it?

Is that just for fun or what? I buy a computer to do lots of stuff, but to light up your room?

Sooo ... In other words you want a case JUST like mine sept for the color ... mines black. My power supply isnt at strong as that one its a 365 Enermax with ajustable fan on it that sucks air from the top of the case and pushes it out the back. I also dont have the fan mounted in the window. I really dont think I need the lil blower deal going on. Its already glowing to much blue LOL I have to shut it off at night so I can sleep. The Antec fans I think come 3 led standard. I went with the clear crystal quad blue led fans ... alot brighter then the 3 LED. I bought my power supply for 40 something bucks and my case was like 30 bucks. My blue fans all together were 33 bucks. and my blacklight cold cath was FREE ... was a girft. All and all it was about 103 bucks for my case mod. my vid card however was 3 times that ... but we wont remember that part

I have the same setup as well....except I have the antec 430w ps. I was considering getting the 480w true blue...but it was a tad expensive, and besides I got lights all over my case as it is

The case is great though...lot's of airflow, lot's of room...etc

Well I ended up with something different..so Rata i dont copy you now and Merf...lol

I got a Antec lanboy case with true blue 380 or 400 (forget) ps for 99 bucks. Could not resists that deal.

The case and ps are now installed and it rocks.

And since i travel to lan parties this is better too.

I've got the TrueBlue 480W. I pulled out the Blue LED fan and put in a Green Cathode fan.

Pounding out the wattage with style. Go for it, or something like it.
