What's up guys? Sorry to ask for a favor as a first post :p but anyways...

I'm looking for a new case due to the smallish size of my current one. I like the Antec cases but I don't like the price tag they wear. So, Chieftec seems to be the answer. The one in particular I'm looking at can be found here (http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=&submit=Go&description=N82E16811125855). $88 shipped for a nice case+450 PS sounds great to me. But, any experience with either? Mainly the PS. Also do you happen to know how many fans actually come with it? All of the fans seem to be optional on the Antec cases, so I'm wondering about this one. Thanks in advance-DaK

Mine came with 4 fans, its a great case, but I bought mine without a PSU.

I have one of each and can't tell the difference, my antec came with two fans, the chieftec with four.

Foxconn = rebranded DEER = BAD!!!! Get a different PSU if you buy a Chieftec - they come without PSU's at many places or you can get them with a different PSU at directron.

That case comes with 2 fans from newegg, get the case and then get a allied 450W ps from newegg for 46.00 shipped. It has pots to adjust the 3-5-12 lines.

I'm probably going to wind up picking up the Antec 1080AMG. Anyone know of a reliable place that has them for under $100? :)
