As for quality they are fairly flimsy thin material, but are incredibly lightweight for non-alu cases. They are pretty nice for modding as the thin material is easy to cut. Watch out for dents tho as they dent pretty easily. I rested my foot ontop of one as it was under my desk and ended up with a nice heel dent in the top of it.

But for $14 and free shipping, you cant beat it. The inside of the ones I purchased a year ago were almost a mirror finish which actually looks very nice with the windows I put in them.

Here are some pictures of my wife's computer before and after mod using a cheap $18 ebuyer case that included a 300W PSU:

EDIT: Oh and I wanted to add that ebuyer was great with getting my order shipped to me very quickly. Since then I have also bought the Logitec Z640 speakers from them and they arrived just fine as well.

it makes me hungy

I received my cases today. The cases are nice aesthetically, but very flimsy construction. I expected as much, so its not as though I'm disappointed. However, I am disappointed that one model is not like the photo depicts.

I ordered model KG-318 in beige with grey accents. Ebuyer's picture shows beige cover plates over the 5.25" and 3.5" bays. The case I received has grey cover plates, not beige, which makes it ugly, IMO. Oh well, nothing a little spray paint can't cure. And the grey is not grey, its charcoal (very dark grey).

I noticed the 'free shipping' special has ended. Here's the kicker....the prices plus shipping are the same or even less than the 'free shipping' sale price! I put two KG188 Black cases in my shopping cart @ $8.38 each. The shipping quote for both cases is $14.32, bringing the total for each case to $15.54 delivered. I paid $15.99 for this case with 'free shipping'!

A few of the other cases that were 'on sale' are even less now that the 'sale' is over. Bastids...
