Wow, I bought an ANTEC case w/PS a few years back because I had heard that they were better than most. What PS is the most reliable if ANTEC isn't? (I ask because 1 CD/RW and 1 IDE drive has already failed in that case and another, the boot drive, is showing SMART failures, and I do suspect the PS as the cause. No problems (yet) with the SATA drives. PS is 450W). -- Kevin J.
