I have the enlight case and it's a great choice!! you won't be sorry!. The only thing is that under no circumstances should anyone buy a case under 350w PS. "Don't be fooled" a little more $ and a lot less problems!!!!!

Servo, I have the 7237 also but with the Enlight 300 watte. I have the option to return it and get $30 back to apply towards a different PS. What are some problems associated with PS that can't keep up? I don't know if some of the issues im getting are related to it. I was told that I would get shutdowns if it was too low and that was about it, which my PC doesn't do that so I don't know. I guess I have quite a few problems so if you could say some that might be caused by a 300 Watte PS maybe I will return it and get a 350 or 400.

Crap, all the good ones are already taken.

It is not really the case that is the issue it is the power supply. As long as the case has adequate ventillation and places to install intake and exhaust fans you hsould be ok. Try looking into a case which suits your personal taste, then buy a good power supply.

A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing!
