Decided to post here since it is relevant. IIRC all these are AR and from CompUSA. These cases are often mentioned here so they seem popular enough.

Antec P180 $100

Antec Super LAN Boy $30

Cooler Master Centurion 5 $50

Thanks, but really belongs in Hot Deals and are already posted there if you care to wade thru the Black Friday thread. Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead near ANY shopping place on Black Weekend.
. The one time I did do it, I was quite a bit younger. I got there about 5:00am and the line was already at least a block long... No way, Jose!

99% sure you will have to go early. those crazy ass shoppers clean the store out like termites do to wood.

That's why I posted here, because it is relevant and some of these cases get mentioned quite often.

So how does that rebate work? Only for BlackFriday In-Store CompUsa Purchases? Will I recieve the form at the store? Does anyone know how much the rebate (for the lanboy) is, and how much you have to pay up-front?

The store ad is probably available in the Hot Deals section in the sticky BF thread.

I can speak from experience with the Antec SLB rebate. Bought one in January for $70 with $30 MIR from CompUSA (long story regarding this - OOS at the store though computers said in stock, ended up they shipped to me without shipping charge). The rebate was an Antec manufacturer's rebate that printed out on the register tape. I had to fill it out, include photocopy of receipt, include UPC cut from box. Rebate came in about 6-7 weeks.

This current deal is either a $30 or $40 rebate with ending price being $29.99 AR.

just found this guys. excellent deal for me because i am away from home on TG and i can get this shipped directly to my house rather than buy in store and drage the case


That's a good deal for the P180.. free shipping..

I have the P180 but I much rather have a Lian Li.. i think the extra $100 is worth it..

P180 is nice, cools great, but just feels really cheap to me.

The Newegg deal is potentially hotter for two reasons:

#1 You may not live in a state where Newegg collects sales tax.

#2 If you have a Discover Card you can sign up for the holidays 5% cashback deal for online purchases (call 1-800-Discover for details).

You end up with potentially a $95 P180 OUT THE DOOR.

Very good deal. Just picked up the LanBoy from COMPusa yesterday, 69.99 before rebate, 29.99 after.

I am probably picking the LanBoy up today sometime.
$30 is a pretty nasty deal if you ask me!
I need a new case too and the LanBoy seems to do the trick.

P.S. don't know if you guys already know or not, but here's the two best websites for finding deals.

www.slickdeals.net
www.edealinfo.com

You have to go to the slickdeals forums and "Hot Deals" to get the most stuff. They usually haev around 20 or so deals every day. You usually get some nice feedback on the quality of the deal and if they are scams or not either. Edealinfo is nice cause it's updated almost hourly.

Oh well, hope that helps

$30 for the Lanboy is a really nice deal. Isn't the Cooler Master $50 retail anyway, though?
