Picked up the last SX835II at the Best Buy on Pleasant Hill in Duluth, GA. There was 1 "regular" SX835 there that the salesdude offered to me for $49 because it was an open box. I passed. Oh yeah, the price on the II was $54.99. :)

Not available at the new Best Buy in Seekonk, MA. They just opened their doors to the public today so I had high hopes for this deal. :( Thx anyway.

I've been to a few BB's in the MA/RI area and they all had the case for $80+. I think this deal is not happening in the NorthEast...

Any other good deals at the new BB in Seekonk??

NAH, I'm in NJ and it worked. Just have them scan it and complain that your buddy in NJ got this case for $54.99 at the Woodbridge NJ Store...

Just picked one up in Selma, TX. $54.99, baby! What a deal on a really nice case.

The only differences b/t this, and the bigger SOHO case (1040) are:

1. Only one removeable drive cage. I'll miss that a little.
2. No lockable panel covering the power/reset buttons/drives. I'll miss that a little too.

I'm actually converting one of my 1040s to a domain controller and this 835 will house my gaming rig. :)

This case is frickin' SWEET! It's got a removeable/washable air filter; it slides/clicks in from the underside of the front cover. SCHAWEEET! :cool:

One little bummer; I thought this had the TRUPOWER PS with the regulated case fan outs; it doesn't. It has the older "smartpower" which means screaming case fans. Oh well. It's still a 350W Antec PS which means it'll handle pretty much anything you throw at it.

I was wrong. They had cases behind customer service counter. Thanks to RickDel, I picked up case from Rt 202 wilmington shop. Great deal. There are couple more that I could see.

Got mine too! The $10 gift card for $50 purchase is compatible with this. (from the Kim Jong Newsweek mag)

Just got back from Best Buy with the case. Not happy, though.

First off, I tried to get the employee to take off the 10% for clearance items, they said they don't do that. Second, I take it home, open it up, and find out the little release hatches on the front of the 5.25" bays won't open up (the left one doesn't, right one pops off). Third, I log on here and realize the deal price is $55...I paid $65, totally forgetting that it's supposed to be $55! :eek:

Did you try releasing the 5.25 hatch with the side panel removed?

INteresting. On mine, the front panel (top part that covers all the drive bays) wouldn't come off unless the side panel was removed. Other than that, it's 100% good to go. I love that removable filter! :cool:

I got one for $54.99 in Kingston MA. 2 hours later I went to No Dartmouth MA and they had it there for $99.99. I had to go through 3 people before they would pricematch the other store.

Cambridge MA has 3 for $69

Open box items were 25% off marked price in my local BB (Stony Brook, NY). I picked up an Antec solution series SLK2600AMB w. 300 watt smartpower for 30 bucks (39.99 minus 25%). I also got a gravis eliminator pro gamepad, usb type, for $8.25 (10.99 minus 25%).

Thanks to the OP for sharing this deal with us! $55 is a great price. Not only is Newegg selling it for $80, they are charging $18 shipping as well. If you think about it, the power supply is worth the $55 price alone. I checked the W. Little Rock store yesterday and they had about 8 of them left. The shelf tag even said, "clearance, $54.99". I didn't pick one up but I may do so today on second thought.
