I know this is a bare-bones unit. However, what I don't know is is that FSP PSU one of their good designs or one that is lacking? even if the PSU is a 1U unit, it's important not to go too cheap (as in poor - bad quality) as is usually the case with a bundled PSU and case.

If I was paying $500 for a "barebones" PC (case, PSU, motherboard), I would definitely expect a decent PSU.

We're quite far from the $40 case with 'free' PSU category here.

MSI is also a large name company. They would be rather foolish to use a cheap power supply in this case as it would hurt their reputation.

Alright, got the helmet, but where is the rest of the costume? Happy Halloween!

The trend is going for small size, stylish design, silence and dust filters. This has neither.

overall for a barebones, this looks like a good little unit to build around. definitely very niche product, but seems like it does what its supposed to very well.
