I got a refurb Sonata from Newegg on the way, ETA tomorrow. Paid $69/shipped for it. Last 3 refurb cases I ordered from them all came complete and with no dents, so my hopes are up as well that the Sonata will be 100% intact. 😀 Great reviews on it!

That sounds like a great deal. how did you find it on the newegg.com page? I've searched in refurbished items and I can't find it. Did you have to call them to get it?

Thanks in advance!

Look in the "Refurbished Items" section, they only had one at the time. I practically camp that section of their website waiting for more refurb stuff to get posted. Sofar, everything I've ordered from that section has worked 100%.
 
Looks like mine is going to be delivered today!

> Aug 06, 2003 08:26:00 AM HAMMOND LA US OUT FOR DELIVERY

Interesting that I can't track the order for the router (which was more expensive) that was shipped 2 days before this.

I think some people do, as they have another thread about staples PMing on this case... but I am not sure. I don't usually do PM.
 
My local Staples does not carry the Sonata, and Staples Price Matching is only good with store pricing, not interent pricings. $101 shipped, good deal, I purchased one.

I have seen them online for $80 but you may still have to pay for shipping. Maybe there are some in-store price matching deals out there? The cheapest I have seen these are$80, so $101 is not bad at all.

My case was shipped from amazon very fast. Not over 1 day, almost the same day.
 
googlegear doesn't have free shipping on it, or does it? If not, shipping can kill the deal for cases.
 
UPS Tracking shows it's out for delivery. I ordered it around Midnight Monday night and here it is Thursday morning and it's almost here. I really feel sorry for those who pony up the extra $$$ for 2-day shipping or whatever, cuz I got the same service for FREE!😀
 
I finished putting together my new system in this case today. MUCH quieter than it's predecessor ( a cheap compgeeks aluminum case ) even with adding dual raptors to the case. And this is without the new Zalman coolers for the P4 (running the noisy stock retail hsf right now) and vga card which seem to be coming via elderly carrier pigeon.

I'm running:
Soyo SY-P4I875P motherboard
P4 2.53 retail
1GB PC2100 Crucial (hot deal) ( Possibly 1GB Mushkin PC2700 Black Level 2 coming - hot deal )
Pny GF4-ti4200 128MB 8x (hot deal)
HP DVD+RW (hot deal)
HP CDRW
2x WD Raptor ( RAID 0 )
Maxtor 80GB 8MB 7200 (hot deal)
Maxtor 120GB 2MB 7200 (hot deal)
PCI modem
PCI PCTV card
PCI SCSI card

This thing is handling it fine and is pretty quiet already. There's just a low hum coming from the box. Barely audible from a coupe of feet away. When the Zalman's get here I'm hoping that'll disappear too.
