The agony of choice
It is not difficult to find a more or less decent computer case for sale at a low cost. If only the metal was not too thin, so as not to rattle from the vibration of hard drives, and the front panel would not be made of easily scratched glossy plastic. The rest is secondary. It is much more difficult to find a cheap case with a quality power supply included. But we still managed to do it - Frontier Darth Vader with a 500W PSU.

The Frontier Darth Vader is a full-sized Full Tower case that will fit motherboards up to ATX format (seven expansion slots). There are two seats for 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drives and one more for 5.25-inch. There are no fans included: this is typical for cheap cases, hot air is blown out through the power supply located on top. If desired, a 12 cm propeller can be placed in front, and only 9 cm in the back. Also, the case has a window made of transparent plastic for those who like to admire themselves and brag to their friends about the hardware of the PC.
Powerful nutrition
The main advantage of the case is the power supply supplied with it. Although it is labeled as Frontier, it is built on CWT circuitry. Ready-made solutions from the same company are used in junior PSU models of such world-famous brands as Chieftec, Corsair and be quiet!. On the +12 V line, this PSU delivers 450 W, which is more than enough to power even the most voracious processor and graphics card with 8-pin power (GTX 1070, RX 470, RX 480). There is only one drawback to the Frontier PSU - you can’t call it quiet.

As a result, due to the high power of the bundled PSU, we can recommend the Frontier Darth Vader for building not only entry-level, but also advanced gaming PCs. In addition to the Darth Vader, other Frontier models are available for sale, differing only in the design of the front panel: Jedi, Yoda, Qui-Gon and Warlock. Perhaps one of them looks like you more.
