Got them!....one aluminum case and one steel. The aluminum seems to be a lot lighter than the steel, eventhough according to ups the aluminum box weighs 17 lbs and the steel one was 28 lbs.

It took 20 days from order date till delivery.

I'm pretty sure the pinouts are exactly the same when you're talking about the USB connectors themselves. I'm not sure about the pinouts from a motherboard header.

BTW farking UPS refuses to leave packages on my back porch because supposedly I live in a 'bad neighborhood' :| well, I definitely live in a bad neighborhood but I've left packages on the back porch for months without anybody messing with them (long story, return to Staples that UPS never picked up). Anyway, I switched the delivery address to my workplace, so hopefully I'll have it tomorrow shipping weight was 28lbs though, so it'll be the steel one. Oh well

 

[kinji55]

the motherboard header is the 2 row configuration for the usb2 . the front usb calbe only has one row. i wonder if I can just hook up the front cables to one row.. i dont' want to try it unless someone already did.

anyone?

 

[bizmark]

w00t! Got mine today, and it has a window and front USB Can't wait to take it home and setup my rig!

I guess they're finally catching up with their orders...

Appeared on order tracking: 10/15
Expected Ship date: 10/17
Actual Shipdate: 10/17

I did have to call them (they have an 800 number: 888-937-5580) to get the tracking number as their webpage wasn't behaving. It should be here sometime early next week (in VA).

[Aagiants]

Im getting a refund on my shipping Guys. I went to the AE website and found out that they have a guarentee time. And they exceeded that time for my shipment. Right now im calling arround so i can get the claim number and stuff for the refund.

 

[Aagiants]

well it unwinds that, buy extreme.com ships from cyberpower.com a sister company. Called them. They tried to give me the turnaround and for me to call AE but they were wrong i knew it. I demaded to talk to manager. SHe called AE and she said by 2 weeks my CC should be refunded

[NasdaqTrader889]

Looks like they upped the price on this to $40 now.

 

[Trevelyan]

Sweet!! I just checked the website and my order is in the system... I order on 10/15, and it was put online 10/17... expected shipping date is today (10/18), but I doubt that's true since there's no tracking number online and it's 11:57PM right now

 

[kof]

My expected shipping date was 10/16. Still do not have a tracking number as of this writing on 10/19.

 

[MutantXP]

I just checked the website and the price is 40 bucks.

 

[Trevelyan]

Glad I got my order in when I did!

 

[jloccito]

ok guys got mine today 4 days short of one month.it is an aluminum case (ordered a regular case)and came with all that i ordered(side window and light).i guess i was worth the wait to get an "improved" product for the same price.all u guys that got your cases early and received them early .....did you get the power supply with the cases and if so what do u think of it.?

 

[Trevelyan]

Still haven't gotten my confirmation yet

 

[soltrain]

Hmm.. the same site has this case for 58 bucks. Its supposed to be aluminum with a 350w power supply. It doesn't really say anything about how it's constructed, nor anything about the power supply, but when I add it to cart, the shipping is only 5 bucks to rockville, MD.

Good deal?

 

[jloccito]

actaully the best comparison for the case i recieved is this one http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?description=11-125-140&DEPA=1 the same case to be exact. i paid 114$ shipped for a case withpowersupply and with window and light ,internet keyboard(black) and black floppy drive.
new egg has the case with power shipped for 114$ .so although i waited almost a month i feel as though a got a black floppy drive light and nice keyboard for free .

 

[randomlinh]

finally got my case, ordered oct 4th, called last tuesday, and finally got my case today! Jet black, nice, i thought it would be charcoal. and i got front usb + side fan. So it was a pleasant little surprise.

 

[soltrain]

anyone buy the $58 350W case from above? I donno if I should jump on it or not.. Quality of the case?
