What is the highest power picopsu? 160w? Did you research a custom psu board with more power? There have been 200w+ ones out there.



So this case is definitely good. But I have a hard time with a premium cost case that can't take premium cost hardware. You can get by with stock ivy bridge and no hard drive space and no dust filters (as long as you can get in easily with canned air), but the idea of downgrading to a lower res monitor, games and running a gtx 660 or 7770 doesn't get me so hot and bothered.
