I just bought one on Sunday from there. It was 19.95 and 8.01 for shipping to NY. I haven't gotten it yet, but it should be this week.

Got it today, very nice case for the price. 3 days from time of order. 2 thumbs up.

thats a small case. PSU must be a vertical mount, so no big HSF's. This would be good for a celery box.

I used some BS info and found shipping would be $8.60, a real good rate. I did have problems trying to get two items in the basket.

I don't know if anyone else has problems with popups when they went to this site. Twice, I got an invitation to visit sexhound.com and hang out with the perverts.

I got one of this case. PSU is vertical mount, fits for all ATX boards. They are also dumping a "ECS PIII socket 370 P6VXA motherboard" (New) for only $45. Shipping both the case and motherboard to NC is only $8.35. Wonderful deal!!!!

i work close to their address. They do not allow pick-up! :(
No tracking # from them but they ship UPS and reasonable price shipping. (last order, order at 4ET and got the package next day!)
The case is very light and metal is thin. No fan outlet for back-side. (because of its small print and PS blocking)
One for front (But the facelift can not be removed so it is very hard to install the front fan, which happens to have large screw hole. Unless you have a fan holder. I finally use heat glue to make it attached.)

It seems that over 80% ppl only browse the forum contents and go get deals, but they never write any post or offer any report. :|

I was looking for cases on Pricewatch and ran across this one for $11 ATX mid w/300w PSU. Looks like shipping is $22 UPS Ground. i don't know anything about this place or the case, but $33 doesn't sound too bad. I ordered the Antec 830 from Outpost though. Hope it comes.

There were a couple other cheap cases, around $14 or so too.

I got mind 2 cases yesterday after no one at home to pick up on wed. This is my 2nd order from them. I ordered on Monday before 4. Again, no tracking # mail, just an email said its shipped. (Last time, no email said its shipped)
This time, one of the case is dent at the back lower right corner a little bit. I guess the UPS or shipping co. before that do not handle them well. (The package is light on foam protection.) No problem to open or close case and as it is the lower back right corner (usually open only when need to add drives), i think i will skip the return. The case is made from Thailand. (I thought all of the cheap case are from China... i am wrong. This is a even cheaper case)

As usual, the door is not easy to open cause the fitting is not exactly good and may be a bit sharp edge. There are limited screws and washers (for use between screws and motherboard) The first time i got 2 white "fast supporter" (i do not know how to name it, they can be pop into motherboard's screw hole and slide into case's hole). This time i got 1. So seems like the packaged screws and mis. are not exactly equal every time. No problem, i got enough screws from other cases if i need it.

Again, the metal is thin. To give you an idea: when you push/put force on the door, you can feel it pop inside. Then when you release you hand, it pop back. So do not sit on them. I think for this price, no complain. You may get similar price around $20 for this case or the other model 312X (b or h) at other site, they even include the front USB port for the price or a "more" power rating PS. (This deal said 250W) But they usaually rob you with $20 shipping. So it is a good price for it.

Here is what i will put (similar as last time. I sold it already)
case $18+tax+shipping
PCchips m810LMR $60 + sh from wiredzone.com (good co. very cheap and fast shipping, no more than $8), got onboard video (8-64mb shared), onboard 4-channel sound, a AMR-modem (included), onboard 10/100 lan
256MB free after MIR (deal from 11/23 friday, 128MB each from staples and compusa, fill up the 2-slot)
maxtor 20G 5400rpm HD about 40 after MIR and coupon (deal from 11/23 staples)
16X10X40 CD-RW drive, Hi-val $49 after MIR (11/24 from compusa)
AMD Duron 900 $40 +6.95 from newegg
HSF 5+sh from nexfan.com (buy more and you get about the same shipping , buy mouse, keyboard if you want, they have $1 80mm fan!)
Floppy drive $9 + 4sh from newegg
speaker, mouse,keyboard <$10 after MIR (11/23 deals from staples, compUSA)
Epson 480 printer free afer MIR (11/23 deal from staples)
Envision 17" monitor ~$40 after MIR (11/23 deal from staple)
about $300

Edit: almost forget. win98SE licence add an extra of $52.

I bought two of these cheapie cases to build some boxes for friends and family. If they're kinda flimsy, oh well. For the price I didnt expect heavy duty. My Antec cases however could probably be used as jackstands for my car :D

Help!
Can anyone confirm if a ATX (slot 1) board with a 370 slot adapted would fit in this $17.99 case?
I got an brand new board laying around and would like to make use of it.

Thank you.

I have actually had this case for about a year now. I would recommend changing the power supply if you have alot of equipment you want to hook up. There are a limited amount leads and using using a bunch of Y connectors prolly isnt the brightest of ideas with the power supply. But for a large case that's really easy to hack and install extra fans, it aint half bad. For my money, if I had to do all over again, I'd spend the extra on an OEM Antec case like my friend just picked up off the forums perhaps a month ago. If memory serves me right, he paid right at $80 for his server tower from New Egg. If you factor in the new power supply that most of us would want, it might very well come out to the same price, so buy the OEM Antec. But if you just want a decent large case for overclocking etc, jump on it.:Q
