I would be very weary of anything that tech specialities produces.  I
bought two of their "so called" CPU cases for my 520 and 1040.  Not
only did it take over six months just to get the thing working (They
had many lame excuses as to why I wasn't getting the whole product.),
but they still haven't given me everything that was promised.  (I'm
missing a delay timer that was supposed to hold the power off the
motherboard until the HD's powered up.)  I gave up on them after many
phone calls and much long distance $$$.  Stay away from them.  They
will give you a massive headache if you deal with them.
