SX1040BIIWB - Good case for $85?

[PrinceXizor]

Anybod know what the "WB" is on the end of this case?

These cases are going for ~ $85 shipped at amazon. Seems like a good deal to me.

The "WB" p/n comes from the resellers listed on amazon. (Amazon's usual crappy description is worthless).

Newegg has the SX1040BII for ~ $85 + $16 shipping.

Comments?

That is a good case and pretty good PSU. I think the Truepower PSUs are better, but for the price I would go for it. Not sure what WB means. Do you have a link to where you see this? I searched and all I found was one place for $96. When I bought my Plusview 1000 from Antec all it said was "Full Tower case with AMG". From that, WB could even mean " with black" or some crap like that.

Well the B part of SX1040"B"II is the black part, not sure what the WB is, that's why I asked, couldn't find anything on Antec's site about it. I'll linkify the page tomorrow at work.

The truepower's ARE better, but for the system I'm going to be running, 400 Watt Smartpower is pretty nice for $85 plus a nice big case. I may spring for this soon.

I have one of these and the PS is more than ok. I have 2 optical drives plus 4 HDD's and a P4 2.4 w/1gm RDRAM. You can put in 2 intake and 2 exhaust 80mm fans connected via plastic snap on fan brackets. Lots of airflow and lots of space inside. a front filter helps it clean in there. I believe you can get a fan powered side door as an option if you need one as well.

WB? I'm guessing they're getting that from D&H which use that label for the Pallet 40 pack.
I doubt that they're selling 40 cases for $85.00 though. Anyway it should be a standard SX1040BII.

Ah...thanks! At $85, this is very tempting. The SX835BII's were going for ~ $100 and this has two more bays and comes with 2 rear fans installed. Is there any downside to this case from a case standpoint (not the psu)?

Edit: I promised a linky, so here is your link.

Did I mention that you need to play games with Amazon? Gawd! They change their pricing every stinkin' day. This is now $101.64. I have it in my shopping cart for $85.49.

Edit Two: You gotta love whoever's in charge of this section for Amazon, 'cause they suck...BAD. Here is a linky for the one in my shopping cart. Too funny.

Edit Three: One's listed under Antec, and the other is listed under Antec OEM. That's probably why they are the dual posts. But its kind of funny. One is $15 less then the other.

You might want to check out the hot deals forum as well. There is a coupon for home and garden or something that was working for some Antec cases as well. Don't know if it is still working, but worth a shot.
