I have the case. It's pretty nice.

There are USB connectors at the front and back of case. Almost completely screw free (except 3.5" drive slots).

Wider profile due to the screw-free setup on 5.25" bays. The PSU has an auto-speed adjusting fan according to temperature, and so the temp has to get higher before it starts cooling more.

I like it tho.

I have the SLK2600AMB, what's the difference between the two? They look exactly alike.. why the different model name?

-edit-

nm, I didnt' read the first post all the way thru. Looks like they are the one and the same. Btw, if you're live close to Mwave they are selling this for $55. That's where I bought mine. $55 + $5 will call pickup.. but I get mine the same day!

My understanding is that "G" is for gold and "B" is for bronze. Reportedly, Amazon made a typo and what they call "G" is really the "B".

i wonder how much the brand new slk3700bqe is going to be when/if it shows up on amazon. it's a quiet case kinda like the sonata, antec has it for ~85 from their site i think, so i'm hoping amazon is a bit cheaper, plus free shipping and no tax is good. heh

waiting for the slk3700bqe . I have a slk3700amb and its my favorite but the side mount drive cage for the bqe may be an improvement.

this ships with the Antec 300W PSU, for anyone that's wondering. This case appears to be wedge shaped in the pics... interesting.

 

[Mermaidman]

I jumped on this deal earlier this year. This is "bronze" color per Antec (there is no black version), but it really looks more pewter-colored. It's an awesome case! The door means no need to match the optical drive, and the interior is spacious, with convenient drive rails. I prefer it over the Lanboy because it's sturdier (steel vs aluminum).

I may buy another one for the second PC!

Edit in response to question in next post: The 2600 is steel, which IMO is better than aluminum

 

[BornStar]

This could be a dumb question but does anyone know if this tower is aluminum? I don't want a steel tower.

 

[Delbert]

Rather sure this one is steel

sweet one for 60$

Isn't a 300W power supply totally inadequate for a new system (~3 GHz)? I thought that 350 was a minimum, with 400-450 W being the ideal. Or are you guys buying the case and throwing the power supply away? ;-)

 

[JCE86]

Seems like how some companies rate their power supplies is very misleading. The Dell servers they sell use a 250 W rated supply but said to handle much more than that. Perhaps so is this...

 

[JCE86]

BTW, can anyone take a picture of their bronze case for me. I would like to see what the bronze looks like.

 

[dc]

not everyone builds a top of the line ~3ghz system where the cpu cost over $500. heh

It's "bronze" only in reflected light, and then, probably, only if you know your supposed to be looking at bronze. Its really super dark. Definitely greyish as opposed to bronzish. Excellent case. And yes, the AMG is a typical amazonion typo. A word of warning. Amazon has the nasty habit of jacking their prices around quite frequently. Its been at this price before, but tends to fluctuate. So jump on it if you can. Of course, a hotter deal if there is are any nice 10/50 or 15/75 coupons floating around.

P-X

good deal with free shipping, and no tax in most states...
