Dont know if this deal has been posted or not ... the case looks halfway descent too ... and only 15 bucks shipped ... you certainly cant beat that.

sorry if this is a repost
 
Not bad looking (as far as you can tell from a pic), but be careful. It does NOT include a power supply.
 
Nice deal for a basic case. They also have a Model for $25.99 shipped with 350W PSU. May have to order one of these for a friend.
 
nice price but i can almost bet it all that its a sub par build.

Great if you need a kcikaround extra case for a comp but id rather throw in another 30/50 bux and get a better case
 
Looks like the old cheap models (that weren't too bad) with a new face. $15 shipped for front USB is pretty good in my book.
 
I jumped in on it, for $15 it will give me a chance to do some modding. I have a Lanboy case I hate, too small too flimsy, too hot.

looks like you'll be throwing this case right out of your window when you recevie it. this case is even smaller, flimsier and even hotter with its single exhaust fan with 4 screw holes and looks like its 60mm...

grab a chain saw and maybe cut a "side panel" and maybe it'll get proper cooling

maybe good for a old old computer tho. don't waste your 9800pro and that barton in this junk.

however i do wonder how much newegg makes for selling each case. hell, the only person who loses on this deal is the people who made these in china.
 
I certainly see a place in the world for such cheap cases. I don't mean to sound mean or arrogant, but, every time I ordered a cheap case (about 5 of them from various manufacturers), I have always been disappointed with the poor build quality, lack of useful features, poor ventilation, etc. I have promised myself, for another 20-30 bucks I can get a case where some thought went into the design & I get my money's worth.

I am not trying to knock anyone else who got their moeny's worth from inexpensive cases!

My 2 cents...

Hard to say for sure, but it looks 80mm to me, when you compare it to the area for the power supply. What does 4 screw holes have to do with anything?

Back in stock now 🙂 Perfect case for my router, which now resides in a 5 year old ATX case that has had one too many trips down the stairs.

yeah i have a spare power supply somewhere, never know when you need a case . plus with all the people here who upgrade their PSUs, you are bound to have a spare power supply.

ive seent his case before (well the 2nd one) in person. its not terrible. i wouldnt use it for my main system, but yeah its not as bad as the worst i've seen
 
Received the case today, its a bit different than the pic they had on the website, its actually bigger, more space.

Front
Back
Inside

A little flimsy, easily bends, but no more than my Lanboy does. Great case for $15 shipped, way to go NewEgg.
 
I've got mine, and have everything installed. Mine also looks just like the one alm99 posted pix of... it has two 80mm fan mounts in the back, and two in front, as opposed to 1/1 like the pix on newegg show. Yeah, it's a little cheap, but I do actually have a case that's much flimsier. This was actually perfect for me... moved my "server" equipment into this case... I currently have 6 hard drives in it, and now have room for several more. Needed to get out of the Antec I was using, as it was out of room, and only had a 60mm fan mount in the back.

The only problem I had with this case is the card block-offs. They are the cheap pop-out type, and unlike the picture at newegg, the rear card holes do NOT wrap around the top any. This was a problem for my sound card, which has a coaxial RCA type digital output that protrudes out the back at the very top of the card. Took a lot of prying to get the card in, because the jack would hit the top rail since it wasn't cut back for the opening.

No, I wouldn't want this for my main gaming machine, but for a box that's not being fiddled with all the time, this is a great deal for $15 shipped.
