Looking at Chenbro's website it looks like they also make an ES34169 
that has an internal power supply. It is only 120 watts and can't tell 
whether or not it is a standard form factor. Otherwise the case looks a

To be or not to be, that is the question
                 2b || !2b
(0b10)*(0b1100010) || !(0b10)*(0b1100010)
         0b11000100 || !0b11000100
         0b11000100 || 0b00111011
                0b11111111
         255, that is the answer.
