$18 UPS ground kills it for me.
Still a good deal for most if you need the extras.

I've gotten this stuff before, just not all together. My thoughts:

Genica Case w/250W PS - not bad, I've built with cheaper. CD-ROM drive does not rattle the case very much. Expansion cards line up decently. The edges really are not sharp. Color is lighter than most drives.
floppy - CompGeeks refurb floppys are actually nice, even the correct beige/blah color.
Genica Keyboard - flimsy like a wet noodle. Hardcore use will surely break this board in a few months.
Genica Mouse - Hhhmmm, no scroll.
Genica speakers - Well, they are speakers.... These things seriously suck.

For $29.50 + shipping ($18 to MI), this is an OK deal. Add this mouse for $2.79, its pretty decent.

In these cases, you have to remove the PSU to access the cpu for most slot 1 boards. A real pain.

If you don't need the keyboard, mouse, and speakers, then you can just order the case for $18.75 + shipping. Shipping was only $8 for just the case.

I am shocked by how reasonable their shipping is... i pade 11 bucks for shipping on my ram, and 7 bucks for shipping on a case at geeks.

That is a good deal. But, I bought that case about a year ago, and my power supply is starting to go bad. Just another indication that it isn't very high quality.

I ended up buying a case, couldn't resist the $26 shipped price. Its just for a Celeron 400, Team Anandtech computer, so I'm not too worried about the quality of the PSU. I don't like the PSU location, but I'll live with it.

You can save $4 buy not buying the PSU, but I think that a PSU for $4 is worth it!
