My concern was that I have been reading (in many different forums) that some of the included power supplies are somewhat questionable or tend to fail soon after purchase.  I was warned at one point to stay away from brand x (PowMax, etc.) because of this very reason. I don't see the point of purchasing both items seperately UNLESS there is a good reason.

I am not  going to be an extreme overclocker (at least not yet), so  I was just curious if I was being fed a line or if there really was a problem with the mamjority of the included supplies.

There are a few neater looking cases that I may opt for unless there is good reason to avoid inncluded supplies.

The other thought I had was that I would simply buy another supply once the "included" failed.

At present, at least from  Dorothy's response, I don't have a lot to worry too much about the included versions.
