In my personal opinion thats a POS for that much money.

P.S. they only supply you with the BTX connector on the power supply and even the reviewers ran into problems connecting that to the ATX board.
Yes I did see how hot the PWM gets, not good, but that is at load. I would imagine anyone using that box would not be running SETI or FOLDING 24/7, at least I hope not. For a general purpose box, web surfing, word processing etc it would be fine. But the price will be rediculous.
