I just wanna say screw CompUSA. Their power supplies like to die out after a week, and by the time you figure out that the p/s was the problem, you can't return it.

I've seen it, and it looks like it has quite a few nifty features. But when you look at her closly, it looks like the materials are a little lite. Like open the doors one to many times and the little plastic hinges will break.

And if I'm not mistaken, Fong Kai makes the HP cases (which this case does indeed look like).

Btw, my FK-320 is screwless. It uses plastic clips to retain the panels.

I've only seen the pic's, but it doesn't look like a Fong Kai to me.......
Is it one of those cases that opens out like the G-4 Mac ......... ?

yeah, it's ugly.

the plastic is very cheap. and it's poorly constructed. it may look like the HP case, but it is not, it's like a cheaply built cheap knockoff which it is. for that price, one can get a better case, and mod it to have front USB and gameport.

Yes, I've seen that case at the local CompUSA. It actually looks like a decent case -- and the plastic side panels should help cut down on noise a little. The motherboard tray does indeed fold down for easy access. Couldn't see what brand power supply was installed...

The case looks good on the computer screen, but so far all of the cases that I have seen at the compusa stores are not that great and they still manage to charge you like 60 or 70 bucks.
