Careful. The case is not listed as a Raidmax but as an Xoxide Scorpio. A comparison of pictures between this and the Raidmax shows the Raidmax with installed rear fans and a PSU. The Xoxide unit clearly has no installed rear fans and it is not clear from the picture as to whether you are getting the PSU. With both offers they have an add on section at the bottom of the page for whatever else you want to include. In both cases under the listing of possible add on PSUs they list the Raidmx 420W for $39.95. It would be worth contacting the company as to exactly what this special offer case actually comes with. If they make you pay for a normally included PSU then there is no deal at all. There are online companies that remove the standard Raidmax PSU and then have the nerve to tack it back on as an added expense.
Got one of these this past Sunday, during the x-hour free shipping special.
There was NO power supply included with the case. The only fan included was the one on the door, which I believe might be an led fan. There are places for 2x 80mm fans on the front, and what looks like 1x 80mm and 1x 60mm fans in the back (weird configuration, IMHO).
In case anyone wonders about their customer service, it's pretty good (tho you might have to wait a little while for a call-back or return e-mail, they DO get back with you......not bad for what I'm betting isn't much more than an "out of the garage" business). I received my Sunday order today, and it looks like maybe UPS (pronounced OOOPS!!) might have used this case as a step stool. MAJOR damage to the case, to where the only thing I'll likely be able to salvage will be the front bezel, door fan (not even the window made it intact), thumbscrews, and motherboard tray.
About 3 hours after I called xoxide, and left a message on their voicemail, they called back. I described the damage, told her how it was totalled, and told her I could send pics if necessary. No problem. She's going to ship me out another case, hopefully double boxed (forgot to ask, DOH!!). She informed me that I should hold onto the case & shipping box for 2 weeks, in case UPS wants to inspect it, then I can dispose of it as I see fit. Good deal!!
The only downside to this case, that I could see, is that the shade of paint that the aluminum parts are painted with, and the front bezel, don't match very well. The front bezel of the case I received was the canary yellow they show on the website, while the aluminum was more of a yellow-orange color. If you're not crazy about the color, but like the case design, and don't mind repainting it, this would be a good deal. Otherwise, if you want it all the color it shows on the website, be prepared to repaint the aluminum anyways.

Like marvdmartian, I've had good experience with xoxide. Customer service is very prompt to reply to any questions or problems you might have.
