I'm thinking about picking up two of these:

Will work nicely, and only $2.99 a pop. Yate loon fan.
'cheapship' for $2 off shipping.

How do you want your fans to look, and what's your noise tolerance? These fans look okay but aren't super quiet. I have one (green LED version). No motor buzz or whine - not that high RPM, but still a lot of turbulent noise. Of course it could have been the case vents too.

Well, I cracked and bought the $10 case. I'm going to be upgrading an older A64 3200 system later (might throw in a Quad core system! :Q) and will need a case to place the old board/chip into to sell!

Already have Ultra 500W supply for $10 waiting!

I changed my mind and will go with the Yate Loon fans linked above. Thanks Elixer!

Good choice. I have two of those Yate Loons hooked to my Antec NeoPower 480 with fan connectors and I hear the whine of the HD over the fans. Absolutely silent (IMO)>

:shocked:
I wouldn't use a Ultra PSU even if they paid me.
I have seen catastrophic disasters with lots of these Ultra PSUs. PSUs you should never go cheap on.

Which has sevec me well...The ability to mount a 120mm fan in the front and back is awesome... I picked up some 120's on the yate loon special for 3.50 each

Wait, the rebate took 2 days for turnaround? You actually got the check in 2 days?

no i files electonically. when i got the case i sent it off to on rebate they got it a day later. and the following day rebate verified and funs deposited in to paypal

 

[neocor]

I guess none of these come with a power Supply right ?

neo

 

[Zap]

Correct, no PSU. However, you can get a nice matching one for free:

Ultra V series 400W $25, free shipping, $25 MIR

Review of the PSU

PSU has 20A on a single +12v rail, 20+4 pin motherboard power, 6 pin PCI-E. Everything you need for a moderate single GPU setup.

*sigh*

Great....and I thought I was broke before....

I resisted this deal for less than 48 hours. I'm pitiful.

I'd thank you, OP..but I'm too mad at you right now.






(ok ok..thanks OP)

WTH is my dog going nuts over at 6:30 tonight.

Well I'll be damned, its the FedEx chick (and I do mean chick, first good looking delivery driver I've ever saw, sure beats that red headed dude that normally shows up) the case I ordered *yesterday* at 2:30 is here today at 6:30.

1 day free shipping, nice and $10 to boot.

Wow. I'm impressed with the turnaround. Ordered the case just after midnight on Monday the 25th. I am about to unpack it on Tuesday the 26th.

I was just wondering how this works if you want both cases. I see it says one rebate per household but I don't know if that's per case or Ultra rebates?

The rebate is per case. If you buy borh you'll get the rebate for both

 

[elkinm]

Is there a another aluminum case or similar for the price.

I really like the side loading drive bays, a brilliant idea which makes swapping and installing so much easier and cables can be routed to the side better.

I don't like doors on my cases as they waste space but at this price I can afford to break it off.

Is this an online only deal or can I get the same thing at a radio shack store.

Amazing deal, thanks.

 

[iseestars]

Good deal, but I'm looking for The Return of the King, not the Two Towers

 

[Tomer]

Crud, I just opened my case shipping box and look at that, the case is BLUE.

I was hoping it would match the Black one I got from them last month. My fault totally as the description page says blue, yet I glossed over it like a zombie.

 

[Zap]

Damn, I bought both of them. The aluminum one will actually be for someone else who happened to need a case (and was looking at some craptastic one on Newegg for $50 shipped). For the other one, couldn't pass up a decent $10 case. Will just find room for it in the garage for a spare... along with the six other spare cases.

 

[Tomer]

Well I spoke too soon. Now that I have the actual box open this blue case is gorgeous. Much better than the black one even.

Ordered a third one just a few minutes ago.

i just ordered the aluminum one myself a few hours ago.

Sounds like a good deal.

How are you going to do the rebates? From the rebate:

- One rebate per household
- Billing address must match the invoice

 

[Tomer]

Nothing special, the first (black) case I bought back in July when they ran them for $10 delivered. It is a different offer #.

The 2nd (blue) I ordered just a couple days ago.

The 3rd with my fathers CC, delivered to him so all the paperwork will be cool.

Be advised, the standard OnRebates rebate is taking a long, long time.

After seeing the built in delays for my first 3 OnRebates rebates I started folding and using their paid Express Rebate thing just so I have the peace of mind of getting it back quickly or if not, at least feeling I have the right to bitch them out.

OnRebates site lists where the rebate is at during the procedure and the first Express Rebate I did on an Outpost PS was due today (5 days after they got my paperwork).

The Payment Pending status still has a big red X and when I called today they claimed the check would have been sent the day they received the physical items (receipt, UPC, etc). That was the 22nd so we shall see. If they truly deliver in 3-5 days then the $2.50 I paid was worth, otherwise, maybe not so much.

I just wish all rebate fulfillment centers were as good as Staples.

I ordered both cases Tuesday night (well, maybe Wednesday morning ). Both shipped Wednesday. The Wizard was shipped from IL and I just got it minutes ago. The Aluminus was shipped from TX and is estimated to be delivered Monday.
