those look so focking awesome... too bad this is not a hotdeal....

Oh i agree

but some people think Lian Li cases are worth it.

But some people really love those "Dragon" cases by Alienware, so it might be worth it to them. :cool:

So its Hot deal to some and not to others.

Yep, true. The first four cases listed are the Antec SX12xx series equivalent with a door added to the front.

Now if I could only find one like the first one listed, but without the door, I'd probably pick one up.

<< This is kinda a hot deal. Regular sx1030's are roughly 125, these are 131 with color :\ >>

The ones priced at $131 are the SX1200 full towers not the SX1000

<< big deal...get a white case and ill spray paint it for ya. purple? pink? orange? ;) >>



Thats what I'm talking about. Get yourself a beige sx1000 for about $50 bucks and a can of Krylon and your good to go.

I may actually order one of these. I bought the 1040 a while back for about $100. I went ahead and sanded, primed, painted, glossed, and glazed the case. I'm quite happy with the results and it was a good mod'n experience. But $20-50 for a professional paint job is worth it in my opinion. Not to mention it can be fairly time consuming to do the painting properly. I don't care what kind of paint you use, what kind of preperation you do, how many layers, or what grade gloss/lacquer, nothing is going to beat the powder paint. It's simply too durable/thin/scratch-resistant when compared with anything you can get from your local paint store. Although i did find a local painting company who offers a powdercoating service who was willing to do a computer case for $30 ;) If any of you do decide to order one of these, don't bother with their power supply. Just like your motherboard, it's in your best interest to get something a little more powerful/reliable.

Ok..I am a little confused:eek:. Other than the color...which one of these cases is the model to get and which one to avoid? I didn't follow some of the posts above. Any suggestions as to where to find out more info on these? Thanx!

Thanks for the post.
I wonder if the top case is purple or blue?
The picture might be a little off.
(GF would steal my computer if I had a purple one,
might be asking for trouble!):D

The larger ones are cheaper, but the smaller (SX1030 and 1040 size) are $7 more.

I had been looking for these cases (and colors) since I had noticed them on Chieftec's site, but couldn't find them anywhere in the US. I finally emailed Chieftec about US distributors and the ISI Tech guys emailed (unfortunately they emailed me 2 days after I bought an SX1030B from Directron with an upgraded Enermax 350W PS for $114 shipped). Anyway, I agree that the professional quality paint jobs are worth the extra money, and they appear to be better than the Enermax FS710's (which I read the black and Blue/Purple were fairly shoddy quality paint jobs). Also, the color is blue on these Chieftec cases, not purple in the least. My friend purchased one from ISIToday last week.
