Hi,
Do any of you have any experience with Casetek cases? I'm particularly interested in the CK-1022-5 for my impending new rig. It will be replacing my almost decade old Addtronics 6896A. I really want a CM Stacker or Antec P180, but those are just out of my budget.

Thanks!

Casetek OEMs for lots of well-known brands like Enermax, Antec, etc. Looks like a solid flexible design. The only question is, where can you buy Casetek cases in the States. I've not seen them on any major online reseller's site. You can often tell a casetek OEMed case by the big, stylized "C" pressed into the mobo pan. I just Froogled the model no. of the case you linked and came up with a big Zero hits. That one looks like it hits all but one of my Casitude points.

Though SVC has a good deal on the blue Stacker special edition right now - $80. After Rebate.+shipping.

Sorry for not clearing it up, but I'm in Singapore right now, and they do sell Caseteks here, though still quite limited. The cheapest Stacker STC-01 and STC-01-WW costs around 160 and 175USD respectively. If I could find a Stacker for 80USD here I'd be all over it.

Maybe you could find an Aerocool Bay Dream/Masstige. Those are kind of Stacker-like too. But I don't think you'd be unhappy with that Casetek. About all the STC-T01 has over it is the dual-PSU capability.

Is the Masstige any good though? It's only about 70USD over here. It seems more like a mid tower than a full tower case, and isn't as deep as I'd like it to be(450mm vs 520mm for the Casetek and a whooping 580+mm for the Stacker). I do like the front panel design though. It looks similar enough to the Casetek/Stacker.
