This a good computer case?

I kinda figured out that this would be a more appropriate forum to stick this in.

Is this a good case? I want it because.

1.) Silver! Matches the rest of the stuff I'm getting.

2.) Built in power supply! First system I'm building so I'll need all the help I can get. And it's 430, more than enough for my 1 gig of ram, AMD 3200+ processor and 6800GT.

3.) The price is cheap.

But is there any catch to this case? Weak? Bad power supply? Haunted by evil spirits?

[EDIT] Better yet, what do you guys suggest for cases?

That's a very, very good case. It's the one I personally use, and has served me very well. It's not a good LAN party case (it weighs nearly forty pounds) but the tradeoff is structural strength. I can use mine as a bench and not fear it buckling. It has very good features like the side fan, hard drive cages, sleeved PSU, drive rails for your 5.25" drives, etc. It comes with 3 case fans too. I love mine, and the PSU is very robust, to boot. I've had no problems running my GeForce FX 5900, P4C 2.8 GHz, and two hard drives (one of which is a WD 360 Raptor!). You'll be very happy with this case (plus, it looks phenominal with black optical drives. )

Decent case and PS for a decent price. lian-li and coolermaster provide a more polished look, but the Antecs are really popular.

Well, I started looking at the reviews and someone says it's not compatable with the motherboard I want and the PSU can have random success (and the door can be weak.)
Daaaaaaaarn.

Maybe I'll start a topic about what cases you guys reccomend. (But isn't there any website who reviews cases?)

....no, actually the "Case Modding" forum is the most appropriate place for case questions. That's why your original thread got moved there:

In the future, if you disagree with a thread move, PM a mod rather than cross posting two forums.
