Prices have gone up since 2012, mainly due to a drop in CAD.
My previous machines' (2000/3/7/12) cases all contained a PSU,
but it seems I now have to buy case/PSU separately, so my next question is
whether I can safely use the case + power supply from the 2007 machine,
an in-house Canada Computers creation with a  500 W  PSU ,
which served well for  5 yr .  The front USBs mb more limited,
but might there be differences in the PSU outlet cabling ?
