Key Features:
- Modularity and Clean Look: The Seasonic CONNECT Module is a cable management hub that helps to reduce cable clutter inside the case by providing an optimized, flexible solution for component installation.
- 80 PLUS Gold Efficiency: Eco-friendly operation wastes less energy during power conversion to lower energy consumption.
- Premium Hybrid Fan Control: The fan control button at the back of the power supply allows users to customize their cooling needs by selecting between two stands: S2FC (fan control without Fanless Mode) or S3FC (fan control including Fanless Mode).
- Tempered Glass Side Panels: The glass side panels are removable to facilitate component installation and cleaning, and they also offer a view to the interior of the system.
- Three Pre-installed Cooling Fans: In total, there is room for up to eight 120 mm fans inside the case for ultimate cooling.
- Steel Plate Chassis (0.7 mm): The sturdy steel plate construction significantly increases durability and dampens noise.

You are correct about toaster ovens though. Toaster ovens use a lot more power (typically 1200 to 1400 watts).

Haven't used.... Need to build a system sometime here
Have a couple cases I purchased a couple years ago then had some issues with deciding on parts and then had family issues and put cases in storage. Want to get them built into decent machines soon.
Thanks
Being realistic about this deal…. It's not a good deal if you care at all about how nice your pc looks. There are many great cases you can find for $100 or less that look awesome, include rgb fans and definitely many cheaper psus for $40 and under that won't fail on you. The included fans are rgb? I don't think so. If you are a sea sonic fanboy, I can see why you would make this purchase… otherwise it's an absolute joke.
The lian li o11d mini plus sfx psu deal is much better, the case fits an atx board as well despite the size and it's pretty good on the eyes. Lian li Case and psu will maintain its value as well. If you resold this case and psu expect peanuts and it would be a tough sell.

For those building high-performance, Intel-based systems with top-tier graphics there is indeed a case to be made that the trajectory of such a system's power budget will only increase (especially when looking at recent developments with Intel around the 11th generation and even more recent NVIDIA releases in the 30 and 40 series GPUs). Of course, there would also be an argument to be made that the power needs should then be incorporated into the future upgrade cost since plenty of times PC power needs have shifted in a way which created new demands which hadn't previously been incorporated into prior power system designs (current demands on the 12V rails comes to mind right away).
However, there are those PC builders who may be maintaining a performance/power density over time which also benefits from the typical increases in efficiency that have accompanied the last two decades or so of PC development. This is how I still have three systems running on Seasonic X-Series power supplies (the largest of which is rated at 650W). When the original CPU was an AMD Phenom II X6 and the current replacement was a Ryzen 5 3600 the compute horsepower increased dramatically... while also lowering the CPU power budget. Same story for the video card, where I've replaced models like the HD 4870 for modern cards like the 1050Ti and 1650.
The power budget of a PC is a moving target only in the scenario which assumes an effort on to exist on the bleeding edge of current technology. Otherwise, the power system has the potential to be one of the most stable and consistent components.
Good luck!

The other thorn in my side is that I put my build into one of those PSU wattage calcs and it spit out a minimum 700W requirement for the build. I'm not experienced with PC building so it feels like getting a 650W PSU for a 700W build is asking for trouble.
What do you think? How reliable are those calculators? Do I need to get a 750-850W to be safe?
My build is relatively equivalent to BrainDoc's but instead it has a better CPU (about 10% better performance overall on UserBenchmark)
