Yep, thats what I was lookin for. I was also considering the 1080AMG, But its $122. $80 for a sonata will be okay I think.

By last count I saw three Office Depot $20 off $100 coupons out there. One of them expires today 9/30/2003 which is the one I found at TB.

Luckily, there are a few people at FW out there who have a few more coupons which expire 10/11/2003.

Thul

On a side note... the coupons I believe are one time per email address so use the one 9/30/2003 now and save the others in case a better deal comes up by 10/11/2003. (Price Drop?)

This might soung stupid bbut whats "FW" i am new to this

This is a very good case as far as sound/noise. I usually cannot hear it unless there is hardly any other noise around. But after using it for about 6 months I have noticed some issues.

1. Heat : Stock without any extra fans this case gets too hot and any mid to high end vid cards tend to freeze up in no later then 20 mins...usually a lot less. I tend to have to open the side panel which drops the tempature all around by 5 Degrees C.

2. DUST !! : Now not everybody has lots of dust, but the way this case sucks in air just plain...sucks. While it has a air filter, its practically useless. The air gets pulled in through the cool antec logo drilled into the side panels, around the cd/dvd drives, into and through the usb/sound ports up front. Its quite annoying. I have thought about doing something to fix it, but the way this case is made...its kinda a no winner.

Overall for the everyday computer with minimal high end graphics use and or few 7200 HD's this is a great case (sans the air intake issue).

I will probably end up demoting this case to my backup computer that hardly ever is run hard, and needs to be silent, and very likely get me a Lian-Li pc6070Modding Review Here but shows its capabilities

Sorry... all OD coupons have been invalidated for tech items... :( when everyone stacked coupons for $70 last week office depot killed every $20 off $100 and the $15 off $75 coupons no longer work with this case... worse... THEY RAISED THE PRICE to $115.95!!!

www.techonweb.com = $84.58 ($20 shipping 7 days)

www.newegg.com = $95 ($15 shipping)

www.buy.com = $100.16 ($22.24 shipping for me... ouch)

If you want to try and get staples to pricematch, add a filler Free After Rebate or cheap AR, and use a $30 off $150 coupon (saw that someone on FW is selling one for $2.50...)

I'm listing this as dead for now... nice while it lasted though...
