Just bought new (used) case...need advice

Thanks Zim...I did write to Lian Li and they suggested that I use their new faceplate (C-01), but I'm not sure that will work. It will cover all of the things like the volume dials, headphone jack, etc...but then again, I never use that stuff. Hmmmmm...maybe it would work. I'd have to play a...

Power Supply...which one???

Not sure I actually "need" a 480...but I have read that it is always good to have more power than one needs so that the supply of electricity is always stable and pure. Actually I already have a True Power 430, but I was planning on replacing the old 250 watt P/S in my wife's computer. She has...
