FAR: Free Case from Frys/Outpost.com

Got in on this a while ago. Had a few problems with the rebate, lost $5, but it eventually went through. This was with Onrebate though.

If you do have problems with Onrebate, just be prepared for a hassle. Its impossible to find a Ph. # where you can actually talk to a real person.

Case is alright, being free its hard to pass up.
 
I was going to pull the trigger.. only to find that it doesnt have a free shipping 🙁 oh well.. I'll wait a bit.
 
Yep, looks like free shipping is gone, but it might come back.

All in all over the past few months I have purchased 9 of these cases from various vendors. Most were free shipping, although I think I did have to pay $10 for a couple of them. Still an outstanding deal though. I really like how the door closes and gives the front a cool, finished look even if loaded with beige drives.

All in all I would give the case a 6 out of 10. Issues included flimsy build, pretty much have-to-destroy-to-remove MB panel, and crappy front USB ports with the top port blocked for virtually anything with any height. To by honest out of all the cases I've bought I enjoyed the EverCases the best, yet the ones I used to use ar no longer sold by NewEgg, where I get most of my stuff.

I had a problem with Onrebate too. When you call there's no option to speak to a customer rep, but stay on the line and it will ring through to one.

Thanks - I just got my rebate check from a MicroCenter purchase of this same case a while back and it's $35 rather than the $40 it should've been - they've ignored my e-mails but now I have a phone number! 🙂
 
Case came today. Man they are fast.

;-)

The question is how many more thousands of these cases can there be? They have been on sale with various vendors for months now.

 
OnRebate was great, although you have to give them about a 10% vig to get it back quickly. Most of them came in 10 days or less.

This latest one goes to Ultra so I expect a long wait. They say 8-10 weeks and I expect at least that long.

 
Arrived today. Very quick. Rebate forms in mail. Hopefully, two months from now I'll have forgotten about it and get a $40 present.
 
I went in on this a few months ago in the same deal, rebate came in, been using the case, decent case actually, plenty of room to work with
 
Dang, it's a new offer too, so I'll have to order another one. This is getting crazy, but it would be crazy to pass it up for free.

Thanks for the heads up on the return of the free shipping.
 
I got a black one at Ratshack when they had them on sale..Cheap little case but GREAT for a second or 3rd computer rig.
120 rear wish it was 120 front its an 80. Super light weight.

And the service I received from the Company when I called in about the front door hinge breaking...They shipped one out that day....A REAL SURPRISE, a company that I could call and talk to and did something right away...lot better than Antec, that never did answer 4 emails about new case with faulty usb on the front. AND no number to call either.

 
Free shipping is back.I ordered the case and the FAR Ultra V-500 power supply yesterday.After checking resellerratings.com for Outpost on a whim; I am nervous because I've never seen such horror stories for a company's customer service. Anyone have a problrm with them lately?
 
I've ordered a *lot* of stuff from Outpost and never a problem. Shipping is very fast.

That said, I've never needed customer service, so I can't comment on that.
