Need to tighten up some screws:D. Your comparing a lowerend aluminum Lian Li to a top of the line Lancool case

Yeah, the lancool is the budget/steel side of lian-li, while standard lian-li's are usually aluminum. Although that case you linked is supposed to be a quiet case, might want to check out all the screws like stranglehold said.

Nope, a quality manufacturer will rate the unit for what it is specified to run continuous at. A good example of this is pc power and cooling which actually hand tests their units and with some units provides a paper detailing exactly how high it can run continous(always at or above the advertised wattage), as well as peak wattage on the unit.

no, although a very good PSU manufacture might give you the rated wattage of the PSU for continuous use it isn't as simple as that as you have to deduct from that its efficiency which can change due to the heat they produce. The more heat the less efficiency.

It would be difficult for them to give you the actual wattage when efficiency is deducted as the efficiency changes due to heat and how much stress the PSU is under. No PSU is ever 100% efficient.

When you chose a PSU its best to have quite a few watts left to spare from the rated wattage of the PSU. In a perfect world where all the AC electricity was changed to DC electricity and the PSU was 100% efficient the rated wattage would be the actual wattage as you wouldn't have to deduct the efficiency.

Effeciency has nothing to do with the power output of a power supply. Effeciency has to due with how much power is going to be drawn from mains, not how much power can be provided. Don't try to argue with me about what is and isnt a cheap power supply, because quite frankly i know what i am talking about when it comes to power supplies.
