Having a little trouble deciding between the Chenming 118 and the QPack. If I get the QPack, it'd be the black/silver one, which looks essentially the same as the Chenming. The main deciding factor would be the PSU. I've heard a lot of stories about the Aspire 420W PSU crapping out on people, but then again the Chenming PSU is much lower rated. Basically I want whichever one would be able to handle a 6800 vanilla with the stock PSU (I believe the official requirement for it is a 300W PSU).
 
Both, of the PSU's suck. I'd say get the black/silver windowless qpack, and a forton bluestorm. If you don't have that tight of a budget get something nice than the bluestorm.
 
pretty much everyone here will tell you to replace the psu, no matter which one u get. they both suck. chenming case is cheaper though, and i think it only has one window versus the three on the qpack, which is kind of over the top imo.
 
If I put in a standard sized PSU, would I still be able to fit my optical drives in there? One of the them is the NEC3540A, the other is the same length.
 
Damn someone should make that a sticky! :p Put that in the SFF FAQ, MO. At least it will get some visibility.

Uh… go ARIA! :D No, please don't.

You buy those cases planning on replacing the PSU.
