Nah.. Hyundai. (as in, "Kia Sophia")
I have a friend with a TT Xaser (3? 5? I don't know) case, and it's well-built, solid, metal door, built-in fan-controller, etc. He has had problems with the PSU not powering on if his UV CC light is turned on, he has to turn it on after booting, but other than that it works. This is with an NF2 board, XP2800 CPU, 3 HDs, couple of opticals, 5-6 case fans, and the CC light. To me, that seems like a "480W" PSU
should handle that, but I'm not sure how much the CC light takes, I've never used one myself.
I wasn't impressed by the fact that the factory-stock TT case fans were orange, and sleeve-bearing besides. You would hope that they would have used BB fans, but perhaps that's too much to ask for a $200-ish case.
I can't say about case cooling; my friend just leaves his case open all the time anyways. (With the fans running, even - don't ask me why.)
