LINK

$19.99 = $58.99 - $10 (IS) - $30 (MIR)

Combining functionality and radical case design with affordability, the new Ninja 2 offers a lightweight case design with heavyweight features for the extreme gamer. The front of the case features a chrome silver panel with a multi-colored Ninja emblem lit by LED lights and a new lighting effect which rotates between red, green and blue.

The Ninja also features a mesh window on the side of the case that allows gamers to proudly display the power beneath the case including an 80mm fan port giving the machine maximum cooling. For added flexibility, the front chassis of the Ninja includes a 5.25? port for quick access to the most important drive bay without having to open its door.

The Ninja also provides dual USB 2.0, Firewall and ATX and micro-ATX compatibility. The Ninja offers the most value and functionality at a fraction of the cost of more expensive cases.

How does it provide a Firewall? Is it made from flame retardant material? :laugh:

I saw this case Monday at CompUSA in Nashua, NH. I'm glad I didn't buy one then, because I would've missed the rebate. It is a little gaudy on the outside, has some chrome flares on the vents. Still an incredible price for this, AR.
 
The case looks alright for the price, but I dont like rebates.
If Nashua has them I might get one because I couldn't find any in salem and their not helpful there.(In NH btw)
 
I think they meant to say "Firewire" where they listed Firewall on their site.

I was stoked to get one of these.

After examining their site closer, they only list the silver one.
The manufacturer's site shows a cool blue and a cool black one.

CUSA's site also stipulates "Delivery Only".
That adds $10 and change.
I thought CUSA used to allow free delivery if you had it delivered to their store for you to pick-up. I didn't see that method available on their site.

Every review I found online and in MaximumPC magazine loved this case.
One minor mention online of angling a screw driver 10 degrees to reach rear expansion slot screws appears incorrect. I saw a picture that shows adequate, straight-on access.

I think MaximumPC gave this case a 9 out of 10 rating in December.

I think I paid more than $30 for CUSA's cheapest in-store case years ago.
It came with a paltry 300w PSU.

This Nija case is Hot for $20. A little cooler for $30.

I'm the OP.
I'm just trying to give complete info.

I just read the rebate. It mentions bought at CUSA but not that it has to be delivered.
I'm going to run to the store to see if they have them on hand.
The rebate/sale is good until the 21st.
 
They are available in stores (B&M).
They were NOT on display.
A salesman got me the last one from out back in Danvers, MA.

I haven't opened it yet but the box has a few dings/punctures.
Online reviews mentioned the necessity for double boxing if shipped.

Mine is BLACK. CUSA's site listed only black available.
Amazon has them available in BLACK and in SILVER for DIRECT SHIP from CUSA's warehouse and in BLUE from TIGERDIRECT.

Amazon does NOT have a rebate.
CUSA's rebate runs through Sat., 1/21.

All online reviews site this as a great case at the $75 MSRP at the time of the reviews.

This is an awesome case for $20.

I think the cheapest mid-tower at geeks is an inch taller with a smaller PSU for $16 + $15 shipping.

 
Got one of these earlier in the evening. Looks great for only $20 after MIR, that's if the rebate comes. May even keep this case myself and sell my Antec AMB3700
 
The rebate goes to Detroit , MI.

The case is 2-3 inches deeper than the cheapest $30+ CUSA case I got years ago.

I removed the 400w PSU and replaced it with a better 450W with better 12V.

The screw didn't bite the top, right screw hole in the PSU that came with it.


My IS7-V2 mobo fit the raised areas of the mobo tray, so I didn't have to use the lousey plastic risers.

I wish there was one more screw place under my CPU.

It came with a PCB spacer but it doesn't seem to fit where it looks like the extremely small diagram places it.

Of course, christened it with a good chunk of my thumb knuckle when I removed a 5.25" bay punchout.

The sides went on easily the first time but required repeated attempts thereafter as most online reviews mentioned.

It has a loud ass speaker.

It's a great case at 2 or 3 times this price.

I wonder if I should spray it with clear coat.
A scratch on black would shop up big time.

Predecessor - The Ninja (1)

The specs list 4-internal 3.5" bays.
I used one of the 3.5" floppy bays and 4-internal 3.5" bays for 5 HDs.
There's still room for, I forget, 2 or 3 HDs in the interneal 3.5" bay area.
Of course, there are 5.25" bays that can be used for HDs if you must.

 
Wow - seeing how easy this would be to mod, i thought about getting one... til i realized the rebate on it was good only through the 21st. Oh well.
