updated link

it's not a bad deal, but there are better cases with better power supplies, at the same price or possibly lower. All depends on what you are going to use the case for, do you have coupons at BB that you can use, ect..

but it's always good to throw 'em out even if you're not certain; you might just give someone else exactly what they are looking for. It's a good start :D


edit = oops, he already corrected the link :eek:

I haven't looked at it yet since BB is undergoing maintenance - bleh how ugly! - but I think $80 for that PS and case is pretty expensive. There was a nice deal for a $40 case floating around here a couple days ago :)
I'll take a look when BB is back up though and edit the post

Oh, I think it looks nice. But $80 is not a hot deal.

That same case sells at NewEgg for $45..... IMO a 300W power supply isnt worth $35... but even if it is, its not a hot deal. Not a bad deal though........

It's a knock-off Lian-Li at a Lian-Li price.

Good case, but the price is only "fair".

Reminds me alot of This Case which is only $35 shipped with a 400W PSU. I bought one and its a decent case at an incredible price.

I don't know the qualtiy level of the PSU, it doesn't list the 3v+5v rail wattage on the unit. I'm running a SDR T-Bird rig in it now with no trouble.

This actually is a pretty good deal for a cheap case and PSU shipped. However, I don't think the original one postes is a hot deal.

Fry's also has this case for $79.99 with a 300W PSU. This case is called the AMS gMONO CF-2029. The white version looks the best. This is a very sexy case and is well worth the price. YOu have to see it in person to see its beauty. They also have this case w/o a psu for ~$45 + plus shipping @ svc.

This case has terrible front intake fan design. My friend has one of these and even with a 12mm Enermax at full speed, there is barely any air flow from the front.

I've just had the one deal from UpgradeCenter. The item was shipped 2 days after I ordered it and arrived in good condition. Places like this offer decent stuff at good prices and usually deliver as promised. It's when things get screwed up where they'll show their true colors. Do these guys have good service? probably not; but for $35 shipped for a decent looking case w/PSU I couldn't pass it up. Besides, what could possibly go wrong with a case? :eek:
