Anyone use them ever, looking to rebuild and I was checking out an istar tower, just curious how they are and if their psu's are pretty decent?

i've never heard of them, looks like they have a lot of server stuff, i would personally go for more well known brands for case and psue

but to each his own

I have an iStar Nitro AX full tower and it is an extremely high quality case. It is very heavy, being mostly made out of steel, but the build quality and design is amazing. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in them. My only gripe is that it's a lot heavier than I thought it would be (over 40lbs with all parts inside), but that might not be a problem if you don't take the machine to LANs often.
