Elite 361 vs PC-V355B or other

[Josephson_Junction]

I was originally set on grabbing the Cooler Master Elite 361, but I have to admit I like the Lian Li PC-V355B as well. It has a nice, simple look, has front USB 3.0 ports, and would fit on my desk better. Is the extra $100 really worth it? One of my concerns is PSU support; one review of the case I read showed a lot of bending going on with a 700W ATX power supply mounted. I have an SFX power supply in mind (ST45SF-G) but I don't know how much better it would fare. Is there a different option that would possibly work as well/better?

Here's that review I was referring to where the case couldn't fully support the PSU (third paragraph down): http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/4806/lian_li_pc_v355_b_mini_tower_chassis_review/index8.html

I'm still undecided.

I doubt it'll be under anywhere near the same amount of strain with that PSU you plan on using, but I still would find that lack of support worrying...

The CM Elite 361 seems very nice for the money... updated link to non-discontinued model here:

Strange, the version of the Elite 361 without the $10 el-cheapo power supply has disappeared from Newegg and Amazon.

The ST45SF-G arrived today and I have to admit, I don't think it will pose any kind of problem for the Lian Li case. Although, I may end up going with the PC-V353 instead.

Edit: Or maybe not. $160 is a bit much.
