HOT! Antec SX1030B 300W $79 TCWO.COM

[Wolverine88]

ordered one few weeks ago. now it's sitting there collecting dust. I have to say tcwo.com has very good CSR service. the one i ordered has a dent. I got it exchanged without any hassle. just paid $6.95 for the triple shipping charge. the case is very good. I have 830 case and I love it. plan to build a athlon using this new case.
btw, antec just has a new case (performance plus) on its website. it has P4 PS and front-mount usb/firewire. fyi.

<< dude, biased opinions like that aren't going to help anyone. i'm sure there are some bad retailers on yahoo, but at the same time i bet there are also plenty of good ones.

bottom line: don't be so quick to judge >>



yup, even the wises cannot see all ends 😉

Hehe... Yahoo stores.... I dunno sometimes.

I bought some luggage from a Yahoo store. I've gotta admit that I got a good deal. I then looked for another piece to match the first one and decided to go back. I saw the piece I wanted for only $80. I put off buying it until after pay day (two days later). Pay day came around and at the same time I got a coupon in my email for 20% off my purchase! I figured, "hot damn! 20% off of $80!" I went to order the bag and the prices had all been adjusted... TO 20% HIGHER!!!

Can you say, "Doh!"??? 😛

Then there was the video game I bought from another vendor that didn't ship until I sent three emails.....

I can't blanket blame all Yahoo stores just because of a few bad experiences, but Yahoo does seem to be sort of a magnet..... 😀

Hi All:

___I ordered an Antec 1030B from TCWO the last time they ran this deal a few weeks ago and its charcoal gray, not IBM-black 🙁 At least the door handle is the same color charcoal gray. The TCWO pic?s may be a bit deceiving so make sure you call ? Well, that is if they still have the weekend deal price on Monday morning. The 300 W Antec PS it comes with is not only quiet but is relatively powerful and is running a 1.4 GHz T-Bird at 1.7 GHz quite handily at this very moment.

___As for the Cyberpower deal, the cases they have previously shipped are true IBM-Black like the Enermax?s w/ a 420 W OEM Channel Well/Turbolink and has a charcoal gray/black handle on the swing out door if that helps. The Mild? Antec SX1030B case (clone) w/ 425 watt psu $55 thread has all of the clone info in it.

___Good Luck

As an edit, you can take the (2) rear Antec case fans to 7 Volts for quieter operation and you should not see any noticeable temp difference. You will however hear a noticeable drop in dB output compared to stock. I also installed a Sunon TB4 (quiet per design) in the lower front when I first received this Antec. After the 7 Volt mod performed a few hours ago, my case temps are just 4-5 degrees F above room temp which is the same as I had seen previously.

Does anyone know if black 5.25" drives look weird in this case since it's actually charcoal colored?

just a quick comment, i helped a friend get a machine 2yrs ago and he went with cyberpowerinc and had no problems at all. everything was just as he ordered and he's still using it today.

i've also ordered from TCWO and they are great. quick shipping but i pay sales tax as i'm in florida. want to go by their office next time i'm in their area...
