Would you buy this?

[gmaster456]

Well it's been a couple years since I've put together a build and I was wondering if you would buy this. This machine is for a friend for light photo editing and general tasks.

I'm a little skeptical about the power supply but keep in mind it wouldn't be used anywhere close to full load.

I have no qualms with cheap cases and power supplies, especially for a light-use computer. My 450W no-brand has been going 7 years now.

I wouldn't do it again, however, considering that there are great deals to be had now. A NZXT Source 210 is around $20-25 AR from Newegg, and a CX430 is $20 AR from Newegg, given enough time for the deals to pop up. The case is amazing quality and the PSU is also really good. For $45, I'd pay the $20 difference and not lose any sleep over a $25 budget case and psu.

As always, YMMV with prices and timing.

No, the case looks like a Cylon from Battlestar Galactica.

Beyond that, I echo Eureka. The CW430 is too good a deal to worry about $10 extra to get a great PSU. I've seen too many bad PSUs take down HDDs and MBs.

Pay a little extra for a better case and PSU of your choice; something like Eureka recommended would be nice.

Nah i wouldnt, Eureka summed it up pretty well.

These kinda reviews turned me into a bit of a PSU snob as well cheap no name PSU would be a no no for any task.

I wouldn't go that route. Just buy a cheap reputable brand case and psu

 

[aigomorla]

guys careful about cheap PSU's.

I noticed now a days.. half the cheap PSU's ive been toying with trips GFCI breakers, and arc fault breakers.

if your outlet doesnt apply to this... then ignore my warning.

Did not see a power supply? The case is kind of thin. Color Logo on front says yuck. It only has USB2 and that is on top of the case, so it will not be a good table top case. It is a giant box. Go small or go home. Where do all these big cases go to die?

 

[Corporate Thug]

there are simply too many good deals on SOLID lower end PSU and cases to waste time and money on Logisys.

this one is only like 56 after rebate and promo code. If you gonna go with a cheap case/psu combo, at least go with a commonly used one

 

[Belial88]

No, it's junk (just like the above raidmax, seriously?).

NZXT Source 210 is really the king of quality cases right now. Corsair carbide 200R would be the next step up. Zalman also makes great cases at the lower price range, as does bitfenix.

Any case that comes with a power supply, you can guarantee that both the case and PSU are junk.

No, the case looks like a Cylon from Battlestar Galactica.

true... so true... haha. i wouldn't do it either. spend a little bit more, and you'll be able to thank yourself later.

Am I missing something? The case you linked doesn't come with a PSU.
