Can't comment on the Compgeeks one...but I've got 3 of these cases with the 400W supply...and two separate of the 400W supply running bare motherboards. All are XP1600+ with DDR, HD, Floppy, burners, 2 extra case fans, etc...not a single problem out of any of them so far. YMMV! :)

Good Luck....great price on these cases...they are very light (weak? :confused), but so far, working very well! :)

I'm in and I threw in a front USb for $3. Always thought that would be a good feature. :) $30
Thanks

Just a heads up that you might be waiting a long time for your case. I ordered two cases from them. The first one was about a month ago and it arrived in two days. Should have been here the next day considering I live 20 mins away from them. Then I ordered another case last week on Tuesday and have yet to receive it. I called and they said they are backed up. I don't really mind waiting a week for something but not when I could have crawled there and back by now.

Wow, I guess adding the front USB has even more advantages.
After adding the $3 front USB option, case that arrived was LT-A17, with grey trim, and totally different look than one shown in link.
Ordered case on Friday Aug 30th, did not use the "Ship Tomorrow" option, and case arrived here in Florida, Friday Sept 6, even with Labor day.

Heck of a deal! First time I have never ordered from Infinity Systems before and am quite happy with there price and delivery!

I ordered mine on Sep 24th and received it Sep 30th (and that included a weekend in between.)

The one I received is exactly like jwkoda received, appears to be a Sunlink Brand Case, with the Duro 400W psu. I did not pay extra for front USB or a case fan and still recieved the front USB and 2 case fans inside the box too! :D

I plan on using it to put together a second computer with the AMD XP 1600+ cpu and ECS K7S5A mb deal from Newegg. I have all the other parts already so $140 for a second computer is not too shabby!

This case is excellent for the $26 I paid. The case has no sharp edges, space for one of the monster Athlon motherboards, decent PS, ran my Pentium 4 1.7GHz and my geforce 3 Ti200 without any problem. I didn't order front USB but it came with it anyway. AWESOME! Even $30 is a good price for this case shipped.

Have not fully set up the computer yet. But i find the print out of the USB connector kinda odd. (given past exp with firing the USB connector, i now always double check...)
the USB (both color and print out) is wrong saying: +5v, +D, -D , G when usually most design are +5, -D, +D, G.
anyone plug in and no problem?


info on color and rest.

I ordered 10 of them at 27.00, I see the price is up to 32.00, but it is still a great price. Any builders out there, they have moem at 10 for 90.00 shipped, 9.00 a peice. speakers for under 4.00 for 10.00 and good prices on keyboards. I think I calculated the price of keyboard, mouse, speakers and keyboard at 20.30 if bought ten at a time.

Took about 10 days to get my case. The case is cheesy and flimsy but the ps powers up my P3 1.0ghz, Radeon 8500, Santa Cruz, and other thingys just fine

Should I get this case for $28 shipped, or spend an extra $12 and get this one from Compgeeks.com? I am planning on tossing in an old Abit MB/Celeron 300a -> 450 CPU... Will the Powersuppy with the case from pcinfinity work with an older ATX motherboard?

Buypcdirect.com

The case on buypcdirect's web site only has 3 external 5 1/4" bays and says it is a mini mid-atx case. So, if you don't mind it being slightly smaller then you can save a few bucks. Buypcdirect had a better price on the floppy drive and a few decent looking cheap fans.

I do not have any inside pics of that case right now. The only pics I have of it are
HERE (I modded that case a little)


Lars - great mod, congratulations, sorry to see that mobo's power cord to go across the CPU fan, (damn Abit?).
