Arctic Cooling T2 Silentium

Im thinking about getting this case this weekend, what you guys think? Any other case i should get instead? I'm on a tight budget....

I'm just a little put off by the PSU, its apparently specially made for this case, so will this PSU work in another Case or even, what if this psu goes faulty after a while, it cant be replaced with another psu? Anyone know? cheers.....

You are right in that the PSU is custom made for the case so it can't be replaced or transferred into a different case

It's a Seasonic PSU though and they are top notch PSUs so it should be reliable

Good solid PSU but the case is not up to being opened and closed week in week out.

The Antec 1650 is a alternative, but if you are limited to that price for a case and PSU then that is by far the best solution.

It's a good case, just a bit flimsy. Excellent PSU with a lifetime warranty, so no worries there.

I honestly wouldn't though. If you're on a budget then I would recommend the Asus TA-210 Series Midi Tower (Black) - 360W PSU (CA-004-AS). I know it's only a 360W PSU, but it's only a 360W in the same way that Shuttle PSUs are only 250W ie. they're all there all the time! The build quality is excellent for the price and it runs silently with the right CPU cooler. Best of all, it's only £40.
