I had an Enlight power supply go bad in my Enlight 7105C (I think it is the
same as the 7237 with a different face plate - go to www.enlightcorp.com and
look at the Series 5 cases). I have read a letter from someone at Enlight
that was posted to a few websites verifying the power-supply problem.  If
Motherboard Monitor (a great little task bar program that monitors
temperature, fan speed, and voltage) had not alerted me to the voltage
fluctuation, it might have done some real damage to my system.

In the end, the local store I bought the case from was happy to replace it
with a different brand power supply (an InWin 250W in my instance) but I
could see where this would be a problem if you mail-ordered the case.  I
would suggest mentioning it to the store you decide to buy from, you might
be able to get them to swap out the power supply before shipping it to you.

I've had both Enlight and InWin mid-tower cases, and I must say that I like
the Enlight case much better - both aesthetically and functionally, but that
is a personal preference.  The slide out motherboard tray on the InWin is
nice, but I use the slide out drive bays on the Enlight more often.
