how good is this case? would i be able to use a socket am2 mobo and processor in it? do i need another fan or is the one in it already good enough? and can anyone recommend a good psu for it?

p.s. this is gonna be my first build, i plan on an am2 mobo(havent picked one out, any recomendations) with a 4400+ am2(zzf has it for 198) 2 gigs ram and a 7600 gs vid card
 
depending on where you plan to keep it, the top mount USB and firewire ports are sort of in a weird place... if it will be below desk level I suppose that is an innovation, if it is on desk level, you are going to have cables running across the front which might get annoying.
 
I have a Centurion CAC-T05-UW for my secondary rig and I am pretty impressed with it's quality, especially for the price. I would look for a little bit better exhaust fan to replace the stock 120 it comes with.

So with my experience with the CAC-T05 I think the RC-532 will suit you just fine.

And my AM2 system recommendations ;).
