This is not fact here, but some educated estimation... I was building monowalls with flexATX cases and motherboards for a while. Reasonably small, and very cheap. I tried a number of different cases from different manufactures, but they all seemed to use the same power supply. That power supply was junk. I now have a handful of empty cases with replaced (junk) power supplies. That case looks like the same power supply in the picture. Also, the case I first linked to is 1/3rd the size of the enlight cases. It worked out to being $75 more for a much more stable system at 1/3 the size. So it is now in about 10 locations. Where I have more space I have been using Dell GX200s. I have about 40 systems up right now, and have had a chance to find out what is really solid. That case I KNOW is solid. Lee |
