|  Re: Cheap Intel Build Never use a Case PSU unless you want a dead rig and get the EP35-DS3L instead, its 20$ cheaper and more energy efficient

 | Re: Cheap Intel Build The only problem with that is his mobo is a combo deal. Meh, the p35-ds3l is a good enough board anyway, heck it's one of the better boards you can get. However, vernong's right about the case PSU. Always buy your psu separate from the case, the PSU's that get bundled with cases are extremely *****. try this psu, first one I came accross that looked half decent. Or this one, looks a bit better.
