Antec new SX630 / SX635 "mini tower" cases?

[MrCoyote]

Hey, I just checked out Antec's site and saw they now have a mini tower case. It has the same bay options as the SX830/840 but shorter. One less fan too. Still looks good for someone wanting a smaller case.

Do you have a link?, the Antec site is crapping out on me

With 300W or 350W PSus and P4 compatibility they look like a winner

Looks like a real winner. This would be a really good LAN case (alot better than hauling around the 1030B). The only thing it would need is an 80mm blowhole.

I hope it comes out in black

I shall call him Mini-Me LOL . I like, but must have it in black.

nice case. i was staying away from the antec sx series cuz they were too big for me. this is perfect! woohoo =)

Looks perfect.
Naturally this appears 4 days after I finally order the slightly-too-tall SX830.

double post oops

It still isn't available quite yet. I'm sure it will be a Chenming made case- so Chieftech and Enermax might have variants. Mmm it would be nice in Enermax blue

I want one of these...they are PERFECTLY sized. I was holding off on the sx830 because it was a little too big. Anyone have anymore info on when they will be available for purchase. Antec's site says "coming soon", but how long is that? Tried e-mailing them...no response

 

[GabeyD]

I agree. These look perfect. Plus the new 350 power supply looks great. Dual fan...

 

[damocles]

I got a response today, saying they won't be available in Black

 

[QwErTyBk]

A response from Antec? What e-mail address did you send your question to? Or did you call? I sent an e-mail a few days ago about availability, and have yet to receive a response. Oh well...I just hope I can get my hands on one of these some time soon!

 

[Hersh]

is this being sold anywhere yet?
anyone know how much these will go for?

thanks

ars-technica forum topic w/ specifics on case

I can not wait, I have been waiting for this one since
I first heard about it.

Steven somebody replied to me, if you want i will gove you the email addy when i go to work on Monday

Got a mail today from Antec saying that the cases will go out to distributors in early July and CompUSA Egghead, etc will have them August/September. Supposedly we can order the cases from Antec in July when they go out to the distributors. Don't know about the prices though. All I can say is that ordering through Antc in July is bound to be more $$$ than going to a retailer like egghead. I want one so badly that I may get it from antec anyway

That's just the bee's knee's! I like it! Hopefully it will come in black and come with a door.

I was just thinking.. Being that the case is smaller, the lack of a removeable mobo tray might come into play. What doya think?

Good point...I dont know if it will be a problem. For anyone who is interested, I found out that Antec is pricing the sx630 (300w ps) @ $89 and the sx635 (350w ps) @ $110 . At least I think thats what it was. Of course prices at major retailers will be less than that. Wahoo!

 

[QwErTyBk]

Anyone heard anymore info on these yet? I really want one!

 

[whitelight]

$89 for the sx630 sounds very pricey considering you can get the sx1030 for that price. and i hope the retailers get this case in august cuz i really really want this case before i go back to college in sept. if i can't get this gem, i guess i'd have to settle for the larger sx830.
