Wish they had more Pics of this thing, I'd like to see the inside of it , and a little more info.

But for $19.00 what can you expect

They have a ton of semi-cool, cheap cases on that (Anamax)site. Gotta luv the Free Shipping!
Too bad I don't need one. :p

Just to update: Decent case for the price, standard layout, came undamaged, not ugly, does not need drive rails, though I did not order them I got both a tracking# and front USB. The cons: metal very bendable, no front fan mount (or holes for air intake), the self-stick-on rubber feet keep falling off, though it takes a full ATX board you will lose a 5.25" bay and it took over a week to get here (perhaps it was because I ordered on Friday the 13th). All in all I am pleased. And hold on to your hats campers, IT'S STILL AVAILABLE!!

No I am not a shill.

> looks like an unbranded box of compaq's desktop

I total agreement here. I have about 4 systems from the Compaq evo line that look exactly like this case.

-SUO

Nice rating

I might get this to replace a case-mod gone wrong. I wonder if they're look-alike compaq cases or the real deal w/o power supply and badges?

If you order from Amamax, make sure you choose to double box your case. I've read a lot of feedback from people who bought from Amamax and didn't have their cases double boxed, and the cases ended up being dented, bent, or damanged in one way or another.

Beware.

One problem I saw with this one written off thier site:
Side Transparent Window, Side Fan w/ 3 Blue LED Lights (Optional)
Seems that your $28 doesnt include the window or fans.
If I needed another case Id get the $19 one and they offer a 400+ watt psu for like $15. Not really all that bad imo.
