Bought this case for a new system. It does NOT say or indicate that the power supply is SFF. Which means that even though ALL my components arrived today... I probably won't see this replacement case til Monday, earliest.

Yes, I realize I should have verified more closely, since the case comes with a PS and I wanted to swap it out...
Yes, it's my fault... but damn... I want my machine NOW!

Yeah, I'll agree, newegg could do a bit better on descriptions, not that they don't have enough items to take care of

your given the dimensions, the fact its a microatx case, only a 200w psu, and the fact there are pictures with a CLEARLY small fan/psu area...what did you expect :confused:

I appreciate newegg and its awesomeness but I don't understand why so many ppl on these forums sound like they are being paid by newegg to post compliment after compliment. It has some descriptions problems. If they have the resources to post all those photos of each product, they could also have better descriptions.

It's because we're being paid by Newegg to post compliment after compliment.
You'll get your letter after your 5,000th post if you've bought enough stuff from them.

Took me 30 seconds from clicking the Mfg link on Newegg's site to finding the documentation that said the PSU was SFX. I always check Mfg links on things I'm looking at for myself.

You bought a micro case with a super-small 200W PSU thinking you could replace it with a bigger one and you think this is newegg's fault?

Perhaps doing a little more investigation would have done you well.

Yes I've learned my lesson and am duly chastised.

For all of you stating, the DIMENSIONS should have been a giveaway, The dimensions of the replacement case are practically identical and it is not SFF so as Amused would say FvCK off and die. :D

Like I said... I blame myself... Caveat Emptor after all... I can not morally return the case... but I still find it within my philosophy to be annoyed at Newegg.

I looked at that case and although it looked nice, I was scared it'd break when I took it out of the box.
How's it look now that you got it?

It's got some nice wow factor features.. the LCD and hidden drive.. but overall the case is a bit flimsy.. Now.. generally once I set one down I don't move it all over the world.. so that doesn't bother me much.. Not entirely sure if it would have effected overall noisiness.. It seems well put together.. just the case material is not the thickest...
