    I just ordered this last week. I plan to build my little brother a PC out of it. We'll see how it goes. I'm a afraid the 300 Watt power supply might not be enough.

    #1 Just pour gas on the components you planned on sticking in it and light them on fire. At least you will save all the set up time.

    That's right, 300W is not enough for even mediocre system and is really asking for trouble.

    Actually a quality 300 watt power supply that is conservatively rated is fine for low to mid range systems. Crap like this tends to be very low quality and over rated so tends to melt down taking everything else with it.

    I saved money alright, but paid with blood and sweat! Cuts, ouch! Drive bay screw holes don't match up. Broke a few screws inside hdd and dvd drive. The power supply sucked - loud, hot, and lack connectors, cables very short. I was only able to connect 1 hdd, i dvd, and case fan.
