The case is great but the power supply didn't do the job for me, even with a simple setup. I just built a new system using this with an Intel E8400 processor, two sticks of DDR2 memory, an EVGA 8800GT SC video card, a single SATA HDD and one IDE DVD-combo drive - nothing else. It ran fine until I tried running any graphics-intensive game or playing a DVD. Then the PC just shut off after about 10-60 seconds of play. Not shut down like through Windows, but like the power just went out. I tested memory, checked temperatures, etc. and found nothing. I started researching PSU's and discovered that this 500-watt PSU is actually only rated for 380 watts on a single 12-volt rail. That's pretty low to run today's big video cards. I returned this case/PSU combo and bought the standalone case with a OCZ 700-watt PSU and the system runs perfectly. So, to conclude: love the case, but the power supply - not so much!

I am happy that I picked this case. I am really amazed how nice is this case. Nice design, quality material, good power supply with all the needed connectors and very stable. I gave four out of five star on quality because the side panel was little bit off with the screws but for 60 bucks this is the best deal out there. Nobody can beat tiger direct on price and the service. I 've been shopping at tigerdirect since 2003 and I never had any problem.

First build and I decided on this case. Good choice. It's a very solid case with a smooth coating on it. Almost makes me want to wipe off the prints! 500 watt supply with it runs my system with almost top end hardware very well. Not power related instability so far. The fans are great too.

This is one awesome case. I bought it for my first build and I am very impressed with the quality. It is quite rigid and the gloss finish is aesthetically appealing. What really caught my attention was that fact that the front swinging panel is actually perforated to allow air to flow right through it into the 120 mm fan in the front of the case. Furthermore, I was impressed that the front panel latches closed via magnetic contacts rather than some pin mechanism that would inevitably fail. The tool free bays were a welcome surprise and both 120mm fans are still impressive. The price is perfect and I am still amazed that it is so nice. This case will leave nothing to be desired. (Except maybe a modular power supply to do away with the atrocious bundle of wires.) Thank you again Tiger!

Assembling Barebones Computer Kits & Computer Cases
Remember when assembling one of our money-saving Barebone Computer Kits, or
installing your existing computer components into a new computer case, you
may have to modify the case to fit your components - This Is Normal!
Cases are designed to hold and accommodate a wide variety of motherboards,
interface cards, connectors, and other components. Because of this,
the case manufacturer designs their cases with easily removable panels to
allow these components to properly fit in the case. All you need to do
is punch them out with a screw driver or fold them over with a pair of
pliers to snap out the metal piece for your exact components. In this
way, you save the cost of assembling your computer, and have the
satisfaction of building your own workstation.
PLEASE NOTE:
Carefully read all documentation BEFORE you start to assemble your Barebones
Kit or add components to a Computer Case. Some components need to be
assembled in a specific order. Also place the components in the case
temporarily to confirm any modifications (punch outs) that need to be made
to fit that component.
Got Enough
Memory? Bet You'll Need More!
Windows Vista and today's software
applications make much greater demands on your system's memory. Adding
peripherals, like webcams, USB hard drives, and complex Internet pages, all
take memory. Watching DVD movies, or watching videos on the web, or
playing PC based games demand increased memory. So take full
advantage of your system's potential, your operating system's enhancement
and entertainment capabilities, and your software's productivity by expanding
your system memory!
The best time to
add more memory is when you buy your system! Get the memory that's
right for your computer, whether laptop, desktop, or All-In-One.

Shared
Memory? Or Where Did My Memory Go?
Your computer uses memory to run your
Operating System, applications, peripherals, and to generate and display
graphics on your computer monitor. Video memory is a form of RAM, and is
either built into your motherboard; or on a graphics card (video card).
Depending on the motherboard's configuration, and that of the video card (if
separate or built-in to the motherboard), your computer may have to draw on
its own RAM memory to meet its video memory needs. This creates shared
memory, where your computer’s RAM will be shared between its own Processor
(CPU) and its graphics chip.
The result is that some systems will have
shared memory, some will not. If you have 2GB (for example) of system
memory installed, you may notice that your system reports significantly less
memory. This is because your system is using shared memory for your
video.
What can you do about this?
You can actually configure this shared memory through your computer’s BIOS
settings. However, this is a setting best left alone, since it is
typically optimized for display performance, and making changes may impact
display resolutions, and other video capabilities.
The simplest solution is usually to either:
increase your system memory; or to upgrade the video hardware. By
upgrading to a new video card with built-in video memory, then turning off
shared memory, you will free your system to use it's maximum potential
memory, and provide your system with much more robust video features.
How Much
Memory Do You Really Have?
When you look at the specifications for a computer, it will display the
installed memory, and typically the maximum memory that can be installed.
However, while these are real values, they represent a potential useable
memory depending upon the installed operating system, and other factors. The actual useable memory may be different
(lower) from these values.
The reason is simply that a computer may have a limitation in the operating
system (such as Windows 32 bit versions), or configured to use shared memory,
which reduces the amount of RAM that is available to the CPU by using
some of it for other purposes, such as for video memory. In some
cases, you can control the maximum useable memory through system settings,
by upgrading from a 32 bit to a 64 bit version of Windows XP or Vista, or by upgrading to a video card that has internal onboard video memory.
But always
remember, that the amount of memory that your system reports, is not always
the amount of actual installed memory. For example, if you have 4GB
installed, 32 bit versions of Windows will typically report 3.2GB due to a
limitation of Windows itself. Also note that different Windows
programs report available and maximum memory differently, which can be
confusing. If you find that you need more
memory, we suggest expanding your system memory, since this is the most
effective performance increase, and the one that is easiest to perform .
