I did some checking and found out that Raidmax supplies are not very well rated. You can still buy a retail version of this model for around 23 bucks. A good power supply will cost two or three times that amount. When I was shopping for the case, my only concern was that the power supply had enough juice for a P4 system and that the case had a clear panel with cool lighting. As you can see from the photo, I replaced the PS with a 400 watt model from AGI. This one has a large fan on the bottom and dual sata power plugs. I have no idea how long the Raidmax supply would have kept running without a fan, but at least it didn't damage any of the other components in the case. With millions of computers out there, running day and night, it's surprising that we haven't heard about more problems like this.
