Comments: Fantastic case!!! Mine showed up yesterday, and it's wonderfull. A little heavy, but the construction is excellent. My temps went from 34c to 24c for air in the case and 46c - 40c for my Athlon Cpu. I love this case!!! I wish I had ditched my generic case along time ago. One tip: it has a place in teh front for an optional 120mm fan. Buy it with the case so you can install it easy when you transfer your mobo. Nothing kills heat like a nice 120mm fan.
Love PCP&C, but letdown on this

Pros: Very nice looking Blue finish. Lots of connectors - excellent 12V rail power specs. Heavy - like all good power supplies should be. Not very long - easy to install in any mid-tower or larger. (Have this a three since it didn't work 100% - would have given it a four if it had been 100% because it's general spec's aren't equal or better than a much older Turbo-Cool 510 with the exception of the 12v rail which is a huge improvement).
Cons: Cooling fan didn't work, the unit powered everything fine - but it kept getting hotter and hotter without the fan (I did this in case the heat sensor would fire and turn it on). Instead I had to take it out before it went pop or started a fire (or both).
Overall Review: I was hesitent to buy a PCP&C product "on the cheap", but at less than a $100 after promo code and rebate I figured "what the heck, I'll try it". Vey disappointed. I have three Turbo-Cool 510's (ATX and SLI models) and they are bar none the best units I've ever used - 7 years on the ATX model and it's still going strong, never a failure or crash due to power issues. Dumb mistake for buying a non Turbo-Cool model = wish I had bought the TC 860, now I really know better.
