If you are looking at the Stacker and a seperate PSU might I suggest looking at:

I was never interested in that combo b/c I thought the power supply would be horrible, as they typically are in case/power supply combo sales. It doesn't seem so in this case though. I'm still not too sure though. Wish I could be more convinced. The power supply is the biggest part of the computer so I don't want to purchase something that will fry my stuff within a few days or months. I'm not too sure of the Cooler Master reputation when it comes to PSU's but I am sure of PSU reputation when it comes to PC P&C, Silverstone, Corsair and SeaSonic.

None of the units you have picked will outperform that unit.

Are you just asuming its bad because it comes with the case? If it was bad, you would see people trashing it all over the place.

If you are buying a Stacker and a higher wattage PSU, I see no reason to skip on that combo. It seems like a ridiculous waste of money to me to spend more money to get a smaller power supply, based on needing a "better brand" PSU.

OK, well I guess you have managed to sell me on it then.
