I buy Enlight cases from MIcrosupply:  http://www.microsupply.com
They have numerous offices in the western US...  pick one close to you
and call them for pricing.   You can haggle them down a bit on price.
I deal with their Belevue, Washington office   1-888-236-6436
   ask for Gordon

I have never see a powersupply failure in an Enlight case, not that there
was a bad run of the cases with powersupply issues, I just have not see
it...  yet.   I actually use more INWIN cases these days than Enlight...  they
are of the same quality and a little less in cost.
