Kick-Ass Case

Enermax BLACK, 10-Bay, Enermax 330W P-4 PS, Server Tower Case ATX. 4 X 5.25" Bays, 2 X 3.5" Bays, 4 X 3.5" Hidden. Enermax EG351P VE(2 BB Fans) (AMD Recommended power supply.) 3 Fans installed. Dimensions: W205*D473*H522 (mm). Fedex Saver Shipping $15.00

Case

Power supply alone is worth half the cost of this case. If you are going to build a computer, save yourself grief and buy a quality case and power supply. This has both.
The 4x3.5" bays makes it easy for a redundent RAID setup. If you change components often like I do, a roomy case is a must. Cooling looks great on this case also.

 
Maybe someone can get it to link correctly, it is at newegg, under "new products", at the top of the page, then it is on the second page of that. Forgot to mention the case is $99.00 plus $15.00 shipping and it's an Antec case.
 
it is not an antec case. antec cases come with antec power supplies, antec fans, and antec warranty.

chenming is the oem for all these cases. chieftec, enermax, antec, etc... all get their cases from chenming, then they add their choice of power supplies, fans, warranties, extras and sell them as their own.

just to clarify things. 🙂
 
There are only two companies i like when it comes to cases. I like CalPC and Antec. Since you folks are talking about antec, i must add my .02 cents.

I must say... antec premium cases are one of the most durable cases i've used. It is rather old school though but that's okay since the old saying "they sure don't make'em like use to" applies in this case (no pun).

I wouldn't trade my case for any of these aluminum craps(let the flame begin!). Only cases i would gladly trade up to would be California Pc's all steel pressurized case with locking casters. No lan party haul-along case there, heh.

I agree with ya man. I bought my Antec 1030B from emscomputing.com and it was a lot cheaper than this. My case has a lot of room in it too. 🙂
 
What a history for this design
Anyone remember the sx1030 at Onvia with free shipping. Didn't even know then that it was good.
Then the 830's that shipped with two removable cages.
Standing the test of time.
 
I actually own this Enermax case, it's the best case I've ever owned, blows the Enlight 7237 out of the water, very easy to install gear into it.
 
For people who seem dont get it--ANTEC does not make their own case--hence they dont have authentic what so called ANTEC case. They merely just reselling and relabelling other taiwan OEM made product with their own name. And this is also the case with Enermax. SO IMHO--if you can the same looking case anywhere else cheaper...JUST get IT--because IT IS the same case. The only different is the powersupply that's included with it since it is OEM so other OEM company like Antec get to choose what kind of PS they want to bundle it with.
 


<< I like this case a lot. You can get it from several places without a PowerSupply and put your own 400w one 🙂

Cool Case

Who makes that, what model is it, where can I get one, and how much does it cost? That case is sweeeeeeet....I want one! 😀
 
If anyone wants reviews, there are dozens written about this case. It's ANTEC, not ENERMAX, by the way. Directron.com carries it too... If you search for something like "antec case with a door" on Google.com, you will find them.
 
that cool one is a beast at 20lbs with no PSU 🙂 but awesome looking case... trying to find who sells it right now....

[edit]
found it on yahoo shopping so far Noblesse w/out PSU for $70

[edit2]
Amamax also sells em but a bit more expensive. But they do have the other Nikao cases which are really cool looking. Hmmmm maybe time to try em out. 🙂
 

thats one of those things that might look good in print, but terrible in real life
looks good, but i'd hafta see it first.
swinging doors become a pain in the butt after a while.
the bottom bay appears to be a 3.5 external, hideable by the sliding middle part.
11 bays is cool, anyway
