Good morning everyone, I am about to order the case and a couple of their psu's but shipping is over $30 to Cali, anyone get one of their coupons so I can save some for shipping it. Thanks in advance. Nice case and I heard good things about their psu.

:)wahoo! Looks good and only 10 miles from work. Might take a ride during lunch tomorrow, then don't need to pay no stinkin' shipping.

Great find!

Damn!!! Just checked shipping to Hawaii, $64. That's almost double of what the case costs. Freaking UPS.

To people getting this case, I called up PCA and spoke to Bob, very helpful. Gave me a good deal on shipping charges. You might get a good deal too if you call in. Good luck to everyone.

Can anyone comment about the PSU that comes with this case? Is it good? is it bad? what are the specs? etc.

Looks good. The extra springs on the sides of the drive rails to keep tension are a nice touch, my Enlight rails don't have those and with one CDrom it fit a bit loose, had to wedge in a shim so it didn't vibrate. As long as there's no question on the power supply quality this sure looks like a winner.

Ordered one, I will let ya all know.

I also picked up 2 more of these 400 watt pws's for only $19 from them 285 watts on the 3.3v-5v combo according tot he one I got from them last week. Works great for my dual 1.0 duron system.

Great!

Those PSU's turn out to be $25 shipped, nice price for 400 watt, add one of these to the $22 Antec from Newegg and you have an excellent box.

I just checked on one and the shipping (to Oregon) was $20.80. A bit much I think. I will have to think about it.

It looks like a great case. I have an Enlight that looks very similar to this one. It uses the rail system as well, and I have always liked it. Unfortunately, it is an old AT case and I can't use it for new stuff anymore... :(

While I was at their website I poked around at their other screwless cases. I looked at one of the 300W ones and happened to notice that the comments for that case were exactly the same as the ones posted for the 400W case. Interesting... :)

ot figure shipping, you have to go all the way though adding an order, typing in all yoru info ( for yahoo) and finaly on the last page, there is the shipping price. I think this company is in the east coast, so shipping gets higher the farther west you go.

And it is a yahoo store, so yahoo figures out the shipping. Kinda hard for them to screw you that badly unless they use heavy shipping weights.

Guys, the gray version is still available...I like the gray over blue, blue doesn't seem to fit in any room really. Gray blends in just fine :D

$8.10 shipping, for some odd reason it didn't show the shipping until I kept going back and forth adding it into my cart.

Ordered on Wednesday, came on Friday afternoon, it's hard to argue with that sort of service. The case looks very decent. It's sturdy, doesn't have any sharp edges and the front and both side panels are easy to remove and replace. Cost me $47 shipped here to Connecticut, for that price it seems like a winner.

I have this same case, but with a 300W power supply. It's a nice case - only thing is my floppy is mounted funny and won't eject floppies. It's probably my fault though. I'm kind of a 'tard.

285watts on the 3.3+5 rails!? Ok, call me skeptical but I really find that hard to believe. You're telling me they're selling a 400w PSU that's, according to them, "high quality" w/ a case for only 40 bucks WHILE an antec 400w psu only has 245watts on it's 3.3+5 rails combined and the cost is about 70-80 bucks just for this psu alone?! wtf?? It sounds almost too good to be true...
