Need input on Thermaltake case

[dendrofrogger]

I'm looking into buying a Thermaltake VA4000 SViking case and was wondering if anyone here would have any experience with this. Personally I think it looks rather nice and has some interesting features. Also, Im looking into a Codegen 450w PSU. Any advice on these 2 items? Thanks!

I don't have the case but right now I'm thinking I shouldve bought it. Yes it looks awesome and it has a nice layout. The only turnoffs I see is that I heard the 120mm fans are a bit loud unless on the lowest speed, and the 3.5" bay is all the way at the top if you're gonna be using a floppy disk or whatnot.

No idea about the powersuply, but I'd go with any of the major brands; Antec, Aspire, OCZ, Thermaltake seem to be the best. I like how the "modular" PSUs look, and their concept is genious.

I had the the SViking and got rid of it. The air flow inside the case is bad because of the hard drives being mounted sideways which block the intake from the front fan. Also, like Rooski 31 said, the fans are incredibly loud unless they are turned way down.
