looks like buy.com has a ANTEC Nine Hundred Case for 99.99 with free shipping.

http://www.buy.com/retail/prod...adid=17653&dcaid=17653

It has a $40 MIR so

99.99 - 40.00 = 59.99

also if you subscribe to buy.com email..

They recently sent out an email for $20 off 80 or more GCO expires 3/14/08

if you use that it's 39.99 total shipped AR for a Antec 900 case.

or

If you don't have the 20 off $80 you can just do $10 off and buy for 49.99 AR GCO

I can't recall from previous transactions w/ them.

The rebate is done through Antec I believe from the looks of the rebate form.
I've received several Antec rebates without any issues.. it just takes a bit of time.

First off, it's a very good deal with rebate and free shipping. The one problem that I have with this case is that there's very little room stuff the cables. Obviously you can get out a dremel or a pair of sheers to cut open some room on the motherboard tray. There isn't one decent opening on it stock to run unused cables (behind the motherboard tray).

If you put your hard drive in the middle bay, you can put your cables in the bottom bay, but that restricts the airflow of the bottom 120 fan.

I have this case and thier is crazy room in side. All I my extra case are just in front of my Power supply. So unless you fill the bottom HD tray completely up you aren not blocking anything. I have 4 drives in my system and no space issues at all.

I bought this case in November with a rebate, I just received it yesterday. Yes I am serious.

So they are quite slow but at least I received it eventually. 4 months is the longest I can remember waiting for one though

In for one. The funny thing is last night I tried to buy one of these at Best Busy. I had a 12% off coupon, and a $30 gift card. I figured for what i would be out it was be an OK deal. The thing is the cashier wouldn't give me the 12% off. Now I'm glad she didn't.

In terms of noise, how is this case compared to the P180? Sonata II? Sonata III?

It all depends on the fan settings.

It comes with 3 Antec Tri Cool fans and a gigantic one up top.

they are all controlled by a switch if you put it on low it's pretty quiet..

Too bad OOS.

If anyone's going to PDXLAN 10 and wants to enter the case mod contest, the rules state you need to start with this case as the base.

Not bashing the original poster or thread capping but FYI

well I purchased one of these back on the frys $47 after rebate sale.
They are not worth the $47.

Fans are crap replaced them with yates. case is cramped and basically a junker. If you get a chance to buy one....DONT

You must have extremely high expectations for what $47 will buy you. ;) Mind offering an alternative for the same price?

Great deal though, love this case even though I had to mod it myself to get the cable management features the newer ones offer stock. Worth keeping an eye on to see if it comes back in stock. Antec rebates as mentioned are very reliable, albeit slow. It'll come in very close to the maximum time allotted on the rebate.

You must be crazy. I think it's worth $50 easy

Antec Fans are great. Especially the tri-Cools since you can change the speed settings on it manually.

This case keeps your case cool and the design is pretty cool as well.. I just wish it were a tad bigger so it's easier to work with.

OK,

What case do you currently have and how much did you pay for it?


This ought to be good, I have built hundreds of pc's from cheap 20 dollar cases to 300.00... I have the 900 and I think it's a good case esp if one can get it @ a 50.00 range. Would be cool if it were a bit bigger and made out of aluminum but...... that would add to the cost.

Hopefully there will be another deal floating around as I am need of another...

The thing is actually pretty light compared to my older Antec case. That thing is a tank, but you probably could use it as a jack stand. :)
