I'd change the case to any of these:

You'd have a hard time removing a harddisk from the C5 case with everything installed. Sideway drive bays are kinda standard now.
Agreed. The psu ain't any good. Unless you like to see things blow up. 
Get a Fortron/Hiper at least:

Off-topic: I played the hell out of Supreme Commander. The unlimited way-point setup system with the ETAs shown was brilliant. Absolutely loved the Cybran race that built the gigantic spider whose laser would destroy everything in the path, the flying bug & the missile launching tank. Used to use multiple enginners to set up a self-defending shielded, missile-ready base that could withstand a spider/mech attack with 4 assault bots (crazy effective; you'll see what i mean when the AI sends in 4-5 of these to paralyse your base) standing by, then build 2 spiders, 1 bug & 1 tank. Put 10 tiny attack/repair spiders, a few enginners & a variety of different units (to draw attention) on each big spiderbot, send 'em out to wipe out a base in an instant, keep launching nukes (take ages to prepare; just one or two on each base; don't get in the path as it will destroy your units as well), & scout the map for survivors with air units. Overall, I found SC a bit stand-off-ish. Resource-gathering was all that mattered. Took quite a long time to finish a campaign. I'm into C&C3 now.
