look nice enough i suppose... how is the quailty? (for 19 bucks worth i would think, huh)

 

[imported_gimper48]

Word of warning. Tigerdirect.com has a really bad reputation. There are plenty of others with this case for a buck or two more however you know what you are getting.

 

[darkswordsman17]

Well, I ordered 3 of these the last time and the shipping was only $26 for all three, and they arrived in 3 days.

Good cases (the ones I got were a little different, but still Chieftec and same chassis).

Nice price, and TigerDirect seems to handle selling these well, especially since there's no rebates.

BAD REPUTATION WITH REBATES. For everything else they are good. Check your sources newb.

For example?

TD is "ok" as long as there aren't rebates involved or a possibilty of having to return an item. These cases are nice but a bit on the bulky side and have most of the options you would want to DIY. I can stand on mine no prob without it flexing (no pics sorry) and ive been using this one on and off for a case for over a year.20 bucks is a good deal shipping might take away from that but if it goes for under 30 its a good price

 

[Averox]

Grrr

Now they have black and with a window. Oh well my case is going to sit in a corner anyways

 

[jpeyton]

FYI, these cases are awesome. Antec rebadges them and jacks up the price by $40+.

I ordered these from TD before and recieved them no problem.

 

[jabronidan89]

Ok, I will be building in a month but for this price, I am ordering the case now. Great deal.

 

[Mephistokur]

These cases are excellent. They are worth far more than 20 bucks. This is not cheap thin steel, this is good, thick, rolled edges and very solid design. This is the same as the Antec and Enermax cases, and are built like tanks. Please don't let the price fool you. These are some of the nicest, easiest to work with cases out there. The only caveat is that these are the STEEL cases are as heavy as a car. Don't LAN with them or you risk a hernia.

I never lan, I never move my computer either. Perfect for me. I am so excited about this price, $50 is a big deal for me. THats what I am saving.

Bought the matrix case (black body with silver front mesh area thingy.. yeah)

anyways they shipped fast and i give them a 5 out of 5. Shipping was 13 dollars to my house ( and these things are fairly heavy)

 

[jabronidan89]

SHipping was $14 to my house, just ordered it. Wow, that $50 really helps my budget.

Well, I held my nose and hit the "Submit Order" button and bought two of these. I haven't bought anything from TigerDirect in years...and for good reason.

But, these are really nice cases. I personally prefer this over the full tower dragons that were a hot item a couple of weeks ago. I already have one of these with the solid door (w/fan) and feel it is the best case I have ever worked with. Quality is topnotch. This ain't no aluminum strap-to-your-hip lan party box but a well built steel case that will give you years of service. If anything, I would prefer solid steel panels instead of the acrylic...more durable and less prone to scratches. But hey, for $20 + S&H, this is a winner.

I got one last round, and since this is my first build, maybe I'm just used to dealing with old Compaq machines when I say what a freakin' awesome case! Hardly need to pick up my screwgun with the tool-less fans and drive rails, plus locking window and front panel, four keys and healthy bag of screws. I'm thinkin' of ordering another cause I really don't need to experiment when something goes this right.

Edit:Got one red, one yellow. Aluminum frame fans w/LED from SVC.com for $6.99/ea that I'll swap out with the ones included in the case window, and put the stock case window fan in the front bay. It'll be a nice lookin' case running or not...

 

[Dragonbate]

Got a red one, and this is my first with a window Now I need a hot deal on a good power supply.

Ditto, I bought one of the full-towers at TD a week ago, and these cases are quite nice overall. (Heavy, too!) Just got my PSUs from Directron.com to match, ordered a black 520W SuperFlower ($33) and a 360W Chieftec ($20), those look like pretty-decent supplies too. (Chieftec case, Chieftec supply, how can you go wrong there?) Consider them recommended to drop in these cases, although their 12V amps ratings are a little on the low end to be used for an AMD64 system. I just have an Athlon and a mid-range P4 rig so no worries there.

I would have ordered a mid-tower too, but by then, only the full-towers were available. Still a worthwhile purchase, even if it is from TD, IMHO. (Can't believe that I'm saying that...)

 

[Sanjoelo]

Thanks, richham3...great deal on a solid case. In for one, in black.

 

[jabronidan89]

Anyone know if this case comes with 2 fans in the back. I know chieftec dragons usually do but does this one? No mention of it on TD, it doesn't show them in the picture, does show the side fan, hmmm. No problem if it doesn't come with fans, I will just order two from SVC in that case.

 

[richham3]

Just the fan built into the door.

 

[RamBusMan]

Nice post OP! I missed out the 1st time but got 2 this time around. $74 shipped for California for 2 cases.

 

[Moltnrok]

I missed out the first time too on the Matrix cases which I would have preferred, but I'm jumping on this one. $59 shipped to KS for 2 cases.
