Case + Power supply for $35?
 

I'm in the market for a new case and power supply, and i was sifting through Newegg's listings. I came across this:

$35.99 plus $12.99 shipping and handling... Seems like a decent case (i'm not looking for anything special) and it comes with a 430 watt power supply. After taking a quick glance around the rest of the site, and other sites as well, i get the impression these things normally cost more than this *individually*. Am I missing something?

you generally get what you pay for....

if your not gonna be tinkering in the case much then this will prolly be fine... but if you are... then i would definently recomend spending a little bit more... you and your fingers will appreciate it.

Thanks, J, i'll keep that in mind. A few user comments i've read say as much, too, that it's not the best crafted case in the world.

Guess I'll do some more shopping. :)

scroll through those. They're not top of the line or anything, but they're solid, roomy, and none of my 4 have given me any problems.

you never know, i ended up getting a $37 case shipped with a 430 watt psu and two fans and it's been running great. On the other hand, i haven't taxed it much and i try to keep it from getting all screwey, but on the whole, it's a great case/psu, no weird blips, shutoffs, anything and it runs well and is quiet.

On the ohter hand, you do get what you pay for and if you're gonna be running a lot of everything great and are really concerned about blowing something, then get a separate case/psu.

Cheap PSUs tend to burn your computer when they die. And they tend to die more often than expensive ones (bad cooling).

Just my opinion, but I would never buy a cheap PSU. To have a motherboard or vidio card get fried by a cheap PSU, well, that's just not worth the risk. But, yes, you can get lucky and get a decent cheap PSU. I just don't think it's worth the gamble.

I used to buy a case that had a 400watt power supply and it was built really nice, but I cant get those anymore....then i switched to a different style for the same price...the ps in them where junk so I switched to lite on.
