tung, where are you located, that shipping is pretty good and I would like to order this case too, and some other stuff. Thanks in advance.
 
Hi All:

___Do any of you know if this case from Cyberpower is the True-Black (IBM Black) like the Chieftec/Enermax or is it the Antec Charcoal gray/black? I would much rather purchase a true Antec 1030B w/ an Antec 300 W P4 capable PS from NewEgg but the Charcoal color drives me nuts. The blueberry handle on the Chieftec?s/Enermax?s are not my idea of great style either but at least the handle is partially hidden 🙁 My youngest?s? 1.4 GHz T-Bird on a Soyo Dragon + at 1.7 GHz runs great (+3.41 ? +4.96 ? +11.87) off the very quiet and included Antec 300 PP303XP in the Antec 1030B I picked up from the TCWO deal a few months ago but again, the charcoal black is a pretty poor choice for a black external case IMO ?

___As for the newer Antec Performance Series cases, I don?t like the looks of them as much as I like the older 1030?s/1040?s myself and the prices are ridiculous. Also, the last dual fan Antec PS I owned (350 W PP-352X) was loud yet did not provide any better voltage than this 300XP I am using from the 1030B in his PC currently. If the Antec True Power PS?s are similar, they would not be my PS of choice but that is just me.

___Thanks for any and all replies in regards to the actual color of the Cyberpower.

this case looks to be a good deal, i was thinking about getting the black chieftec from newegg, but getting a power supply for a few dollars extra isnt that bad even if it isn't the best quality, plus i like this black better much darker.
 
Hi Passwird:

___Thank you for the link to the Cybertec 1030B thread over at Gotapex. I just ordered 3 of these cases ? Now I will hope the order goes through without hassle given the garbage Reseller Ratings of Cyberpower. Maybe I can use the generic 425 W PS on some upgrades ?

___If the $79.00 + $6.95 shipping Antec SX1030B 300W Black case from TCWO is a true Antec in IBM-Black w/ the 300 W Antec PP303XP PS, I would say that may even be a better deal than this one given it comes with a no-name 425 PS and probably the Blueberry handle. I just cannot tell and having already purchased one of these Charcoal Gray/Black cases from them, I would hate like hell to purchase the same all over again.

___Thanks again for the link.

Apparently it's a Turbo Link power supply....... Go do your research boys!
I looked up google, and it appears that Turbo Link makes the 420w power supply for Channel Well (or Channel Well makes the psu for Turbo Link?) Whatever..
 
Im betting this is the same power supply sodl here for $38. There are some specs here but the site is very hard to read. No picture unfortunatley. So experts is this a quality power supply?

Power supply

OH and look a review f the channel Well power supply I think its a OEM of Turbolink

Review

This guy say it IS the antec powersupply and has a 245W combined output WOW can you say HOTTTTTT. If you beleive him that is 😉.
 


<< tung, where are you located, that shipping is pretty good and I would like to order this case too, and some other stuff. Thanks in advance. >>



I'm from WEstminster, CA. S&H for 2 cases was $18. Went up to $23 after I added all the extra stuff.
 
could just toss the PSU and consider it a good deal on SX1000 oem case for $55. grab a better power supply of your own choice.

otherwise, they also carry an Antec sx1040 w/ 375w psu. it's antec, and it's $67. if it's for real, then it's a really good price. antec sx1030 usually runs around $100+ with only 300w. too bad you can't add the window and neon to the antec too.
 
Davemeister, did you even read my post in this thread. This power supply seems to be the exact same as an antec. For further "research" I did to confrim this look at my post in this thread.

Now I will concede that its possible that this 420W power supply is NOT an antec but please the evidence surely seems to point to the fact this is the SAME as an antec. Read my thread anandtech even cofirmed this back on a 300W one. So until you have better evidence hold off on the throw out the power supply arguements.
 
he get no eye !! hahahhahah man..... this is a very good deal!!
too bad No $$$ no talk LOL!!! when is the end of this deal ???
 
yes,

the power supply is sold as a channel well, (turbo link oem)

also, channel well builds power supplies for antec.

I went ahead and bought this case. I'm one of the guinea pigs in this deal, but not the first.
If you see that Got Apex post, one person has already received his case from Cyberpower PC.


I'm only buying a case with a power supply. No big deal. Resellerratings doesn't mention anything about power supplies going bad......

hopefully all will go well with my order.

The funny thing is that people bitch about Compaq as much as they do about Cyberpower..... this not working, that not working, blah blah. However, I've had my compaq computer for over 3 years now. not a problem at all.

Maybe it's just luck. Hope it stays that way for my purchase.
 


<< Never trust a yahoo store. Any real computer company will have there own site. Anyone can setup a yahoo store in seconds.

They have a bad resellerratings.com score. >>



I was looking around and it really cost a lot to have a Yahoo store, if you wanted to go the cheap way you should get a Paypal Store, and a cheap Domain.
 
Im really stupid. Ok now that we got that cleared, what is the difference between a Full tower and a Server Case and do they both run on ATX motherboards.
 
Hi All:

___Bachviet replied in the Gotapex thread as to what he received and it?s a Turbolink dual I guess. The Dual Turbolinks do not have the same ratings at the single fanned Channel Well Tech 420 W PSU (Antec PP412X) review over at www.mikhailtech.com but instead are a cheaper version with less output voltage on various Rails:

The good one we all wanted: CHANNEL WELL P4 420W (CWT-420ATX) +3.3V:28A +5V:40A +12V:18A -12V:1.0A - 5V:1.0A +5SB:3.0A

The OEM that we will receive: CHANNEL WELL P4 420W (CWT-420ATX) +3.3V:28A +5V:40A +12V:18A -12V:0.5A -5V:0.5A +5SB:2.0A

___I am still worried as to how this company is going to some how screw up a sealed case however ?

___Good Luck to all of you that ordered this case as well.

As an edit, Bachviet mentioned it comes with a gray handle on the swing out door and not the Blueberry one 🙂
