No on the Crappermaster PSU. Although it is perhaps their only model to get a decent review at HardwareSecrets, the company has demonstrated by overrating other units, or claiming protection circuits that are missing, that it is a dishonest company, not to be supported no matter how good any other product is. Diablotek is another dishonest company, with no PSU they offer ever NOT dying violently when tested, well before reaching labeled capacity. Having cleaned up their act, check out Rosewill cases.
The Samsung Spinpoints are good performers, but with warranties cut back to a measly one year, I no longer trust their quality. Many (but not all) of the WD Black drives still have five year warranties, so that's what I'd choose.
For the PSU, check out Seasonic, Antec, and Corsair for some inexpensive yet high-quality models.

I don't know that anything is specifically wrong with the case, though I'd expect it to be cheaply made because of the brand. I'd avoid it regardless of the quality because the company is guilty of willful consumer fraud with its PSU-shaped objects.
The combo is good; the Hive has been reviewed well. The only caveat (and you may not care) is that there is now a U3 version of that case that has USB3.0 ports on it; so that is the old version.
