They are okay, for in-expensive. But not what I'd consider for OCing. Needs a blowhole and the mobo plate isn't removable. (I think)

^^^ a blowhole would be nice, and the PSU is most likely on the low side of the standards. U really want a good PSU in ur case after ur spending a lot of money on it. Nothing sucks worse then using a PSU thats going to fry everything. So if u get that just make sure that the PSU is good, maybe if u like to use ur hands and what not install a blow hole. Otherwise i might go for one with a blowhole. The removable motherboard tray is nice to have but not a necesity.

Thermaltake, Lian-Li, Antec, and Coolermaster are some pretty good brands when it comes to cases.

As for psu's, Thermaltake, Antec, and Enermax come highly recommended.

Larry...see the seventh and eighth ones down (for example) that have the fan grate on the top, right in front of the PSU. Those are what we cryptically call blow holes. (like a whale) What they do is blow air up (out) of the case in the most natural way...out the top, since hot air rises. They are quite advantagous.
