I just bought this exact case at a local computer store. I paid $33, the exact price it would cost to have this system shipped. Except I got mine same day! :)

Everytime, I order I get a different case, some ar better than others, I wish they still had the desktop atx for $12.95.

This case sucks.

Don't waste your money on the frustration it will cause you.

Also, when it fails, they will be sorely lacking in terms of rectifying the situation.

I posted the deals about this case back in Nov or December.

I like how it has alot of ventilation holes on the side.
It look a lot better than if I put it there myself w/ a Dremmel.

This case is OK; I've got one. But the PS is right in the way of the MB, so if you need to get at the CPU with any frequency it becomse a pain in the a#$. I will be spending a few more beans on my next case...

I have a couple cases like this one.. It does the job for a basic setup.
But, for more extreme needs, a little more is needed.

I have a system that runs hot, (dual processors, 3 SCSI drives) so I put it in a Coolermaster ATCS 200 case. It's an excellent case, all aluminum, well vented, etc. But, at almost $300, it's a bit pricey.

Then, there is the Lian Li aluminum case. It's looks similar to the coolermaster, but gives the impression of a step or two down in quality. It can be had for $230 or so.

Anyone know of any better deals on Aluminum cases?

I have a Inwin full tower, that is old as the hills. It was my first ATX case, had a Abit SM5 with a P166. Still have the case, and original 235watt ps, it's running a MSI K7Tpro2A Duron at 850. I have a Gigastar midtower with a 250watt ps, really nice case, very heavy steel, it's running a Asus K7M with a 650 Athlon, most stable system I've ever had. I bought a couple mid tower cases at that auction place, with the transparent grey front, and a 300watt ps, well the ps lasted one day.

I've ordered these a couple times - at one point in time they sold them via egghead.com's auction site and a free shipping coupon was floating around, wish I'd ordered a ton back then. I also received slightly different cases each time. So far I'm happy. Of the 3 only 1 seems to be getting a bit funky (the power supply makes odd noises, gone now though). If you want a cheap case and don't fiddle with the CPUs a lot these are good. Personally I'm getting a tiny bit nervous about the quality of the power supplies in them so I'm going to upgrade soon (actually building a case that will hold 2-3 motherboards plus power supplies and drives :)).
