CompUSA aluminum case

[dp004i]

Is anybody familiar with this case? Looks like a decent deal for $60, but I'd like to hear an opinion from somebody who owns that case, or has at least seen it.

iv'e seen it on display, its very light and they sell windowed side panels for it. i think the KT 424 is still a better buy.

KT424 will cost me around $90 shipped, unless you know of a place where I can get it cheaper.

I saw/touched it at CompUSA two weeks ago. The construction is too thin for my liking. I got to build a second comp
for my gal. I ordered a PC-7 Lian-Li from Coolermaxx for $92 delivered, it should be here today or Monday.
That case comes w/o fans, the LL has fans, a fan control switch and known build quality.

BTW: This is my first order from these guys. Newegg cost more with shipping, tax and it was out of stock.

The Kingwin 424 series is a much more substantial case. It's CompUSA house brand so unlikely to get many reviews. There are plenty of flimsy aluminum cases available for less than that. Try dealsonic.com or amamax.com - some Sky Hawks and other lesser brands...

I got the PC-7 today. Two front fans and provisions for a blow-hole&rear fan. No fan speed switch and to my surprise

a case window. It was $92 delivered. Go figure, luck-of-the-draw, I guess. Source is posted above.
