'Advance' Cases- Any good?

[drummgenius]

Does anyone have these cases and if so can they recommend them?

Here are some pictures. They have good PSUs included and are at a good price.

That's a Scorpio case, and it's loud as hell. It sounds like a vacuum cleaner. The reason why is the intake and exhaust fan grills are so restrictive. The PSU inside isn't that great either - it's RaidMax.

*edit* I've owned one if you can't tell already. If I had to put a monetary value you on it... I'd say 29.99 w/o a PSU simply because of how loud it is. The case still looks nice and doesn't really have many other flaws that I can name. (I guess cleaning the front fan grill is a bit of the pain because you to remove the entire face plate to get to it)

Compare this: http://www.directron.com/868w.html to the above case and see if you can spot many differences.

Can anyone recommend a cheap and quiet case with a 450w+ PSU?

These are not that cheap, but they are quiet and have good PSU's. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129155

my bro had the Advance PC case Zorro 8066S Silver (a very similar varient of it tbh - a digital front display)

The door hinges are really feeble and broke in no time at all, leaving him with a dangling door which pisses him off no end.

that later his OC on his P4 became unstable (had to drop from 3.6 to 3GHz) just B4 his pwr supply blew up lol

all together a poor excuse for a case

If you are looking for a good case with a good power supply stop looking. As a general rule you won't find one. Your PSU is extremely important and 10 to one if you got one of those cases the PSU will fry and fry your hardware also.

I agree to a point..

I got a 450W with my Scorpion about 4 years ago. It's still running my P4. I wouldn't trust it to OC, but it's fine for regular stuff.
