As someone who has repaired and built PC-compatible computers for 30
years (and repaired power supplies for a living), I say, "Just go to
Micro Center".  The prices are similar.  Also, I would go with an
Hitachi hard drive, rather than the Samsung.  Better drive, plus 7200
RPM, at a similar price.  The iMicro (Allied) power supply is OK for
the price.  The same supply, branded differently (Diablotek) is $14.99
locally--but I would go a step up.
