Is this a good case? What problems has anyone had with it?
It comes with a 480W P/S---how can I find out if that's enough for my system?

Read the P/S wattage calculator at the top of this forum.

A link to the case would be nice. Your system specs would be helpful - actually essential - to helping you, too. :/

The case/PSU should be sufficient for your rig. Recommend splitting the drives between the rails so you don't overload any given rail. Try the system at default fan config and monitor temps. The PSU will also help to move air thru the case. If the temps seem high, then add a good fan to the case - if the orig is intake, then make the new one an exhaust.

Note: The AMG has a Truepower PSU and the 1080B has a Smartpower PSU - the TP is the better PSU line from Antec.
