ChenBro Game Bomb case.
- Thread starter charlietee
- Start date
ChenBro dropped the ball on that one...I had to have one...And had several customers lined up who I convinced they were the "Bomb"
After months of setting the release date up and then jacking up the price from what was the rumored MSRP...I got pissed.
Went to their forums and expressed my displeasure...Seems I was not the only one...Everybody was miffed to say the very least.
Then after finally getting it to MicroCenter it only came in silver...Finally black started showing up and NewEgg got some.
Seems the sales were not what they had expected...Small wonder...Overpriced and very limited availability turned everybody off and they stopped making it.
Kinda of a shame...Very nice case...I made a few builds using them and they were very nice...Refused to buy one for myself because of the delay's and pricing.

i bought the case and it's quite nice. but i had to remove the screwless card holder thing to put the agp and pci cards in... and still almost had to break them to get them in. i'm not sure if that's a defect in my particular case, a defect in the model as a whole, or the motherboard, or how i screwed the motherboard in. if not for my worries about that, i would buy several and get rid of all my other cases. it's really quality especially for that price.
also the one from svc doesn't come with the drive cage.

Yeah, I'd like to know that also. That was one sweet case.
This is one is a steal for $19.99, though.
This is the Gaming Box, not bomb. I have it - it's OK.
Pro:
Nice solid construction, looks good.
Front audio and usb ports.
120 mm rear fan mount with fan, mine was broken.
Front 80/92mm mount with dust filters.
Con:
No reset button.
No mobo tray.
Tool-less rails work for CD and floppy but not HDDs.
There are only two hard drive spots pretty close together.
May want to get an adapter for 3-pin to molex for the rear fan so you dont have a heavy draw off the motherboard.

i just ordered another one, and if my pci card problems don't replicate themselves, i will order yet another 
If anyone needs this case, lmk. I bought one but dont need it. It is still new and never used. Will sell it for $21 + actual shipping charges (FedEx, UPS, DHL, USPS...whatever you prefer).
I picked it up locally from their warehouse...so my cost was ~21.xx

Dude I bought it. It says Gaming Box on it. There is no bomb anywhere. It's an OK steel case, roomy, with plastic bezel. Not the greatest filter.
I got some low temps with this box and a little mod. Made air filter for the front out of a dryer sheet. It's killer. Dropped my CPU temp by 6-8 degrees.
Air filter and ducting
Got a 92 mm nexus on the bottom blowing in, 130 mm in the back blowing out, also a VGA silencer on the 9800 Pro. The 130 mm is shrouded down to the bottom of the CPU Fan with tape and cardboard. Also a few other strategic pieces of cardboard to keep the air moving smoothly.
Put in a drive cage cut from the old case, stands in the bottom.
Put in a reset button at the bottom front Firewire spot. May move everything up to a panel replacing the floppy.

I called Chenbro USA and the guy I talked to says "The Gaming Bomb II is sold only in oriental countries."
That is a quote, and that is why it is in quotes.
