Hi, and welcome! We have reviewed a few Maxtop products, and the quality is good... they are just generally more budget oriented, basic cases. One of the cases we reviewed seems a bit similar to the one you linked...

http://www.bigbruin.com/html/maxtop-top.htm

Gaah, that old site format scares me!

Power supplies... look at Enermax, PC Power and Cooling, Thermaltake, and a handful of other big brands. So many choices now, it is best to find one that meets your demands and budget! Look for PFC in the specs though...

No I never ordered from them. I got mine from ElectroSeller

And there isn't a difference, I THINK Skyhawk makes them, but don't quote me on that.

Also missed the PSU question. If these are for real business class servers, spend the extra $$ and get a PC Power & Cooling. It's worth the $$ not to have to worry about down time (due to failed PSU or flaky PSU).

Do you think spening 70 bucks for a 550w Aluminum PSU with 3 fans is reasonable. I find that rackbuy.com is selling a 550 for only $35. Confused

BTW: Anyone can explain what is RU?

Trust me, you get what you pay for in a PSU. If you pick up a cheap PSU and a good PSU, your arm will tell you what the difference is. A PSU really should be heavy. Sad, but it works as a good measure of the quailty.

RU? Do you mean Rack Unit? If so it's just a measure of how may U's (which is 1 3/4") something takes up in a rack.
