Here is the rundown on cases with psu's in them. They are ok if you need a psu for like a week or so but anything more then that isn't worth it at all. Would you really like to risk your computer on a cheap psu? I know i wouldn't

The PSU is by Topower which is a decent PSU manufactor. Got the UL number (E130843) from the label: http://database.ul.com/cgi-bin/XYV/c...E/srchres.html
