Uhh just a quick question to anyone else who ordered...
Did it show up as just the cost of shipping on your card's online statement?

Mine says:

" CHECKCARD 06/18 SHOPBLT.COM PRESTON CT $22.62"

Wonder if mistake? Or if they make 2 charges? Anyone have a clue? because I don't - but I know I'll be spinning in circles if that's all they charge me --> O_O!

Mine was a single charge for the full price ($148.38). In the description for the charge it read in part (my emphasis):

IT1 11BAY MID T;UPI 128.2900;QTY1
IT2 ;UPI 0.0000;QTY
FRT 20.09;HDL 0.00;ITM1

Rofl! Hot deal right there! Accouting will probably figure that one out real quick though.

And yea, I agree with the above posters, if anyone has any first impressions, post em here so we know what we're ordering. :)

You should really call them and ask about the pricing error... most likely they'll say our mistake, your gain; but you should call.

I have been using the case for about a week everything is nice I bought an extra 120mm fan to put in the front of case. I have the PS tunnel fan set to high, the back and front fan set to medium and the noise is low. (with the extra fan I got today I will probably change the level of the fan down 1 level). The 270 degree front cover is just awsome the 1 think I dont really like is hole you use to bring the cables from your PS to the mobo is kind of small take me a while to get everything up to the mobo level. The thing is heavy with all my gears in the case it is weight 53 lbs.

would have been nice if this case could take E-ATX mobos too.. and convertable to BTX, just for more future proofing just in case.

Everybody quit liking this case RIGHT NOW!

I first bought an Antec Super Lanboy (2) to build a simple RAID5 home media server in.

Then I bought an Antec 3700 BQE instead and kept the lanboy.

Now I find myself REALLY wanting to plop down the cash for one of these.

At this rate I will:
a) never get the media server built, making my investments in a RAID5 card and (4) 250 GB drives (thanks ATHD) a moot point
b) be too broke from buying cases that just end up sitting in the computer room
c) get the missus even that much more upset about the whole process.
d) all of the above

Still holding out for a ?horrible? review.

They are now offering the case for about $12 LESS than before at $108.30 stock or $129.95 DELIVERED as they have NOT inflated the shipping charge. It is STILL a flat $21.65.

I have dealt with this company 3 times now since 2001 and they are an excellent company to deal with. Check out their feedback at resellerratings .

Get this GREAT case from a GREAT vendor at a GREAT price when you STILL can.
