Warm chieftec full tower 1240 No ps $63.

I called them this week and told them that the $75 they were asking was way too much since it was $79 with a power supply on special from them before and also told them to add it has no ps in the ad, I think they got the hint and they lowered the price and added the no ps in the ad.

This is exactly like the Antec 1240 i got a while back .. for 140 with the 400W PS.. so this is HOT... by the way .. how come theres' all these different name badge on this same product...??? any know ?
 
I just went for the 1040 for $49+ shipping. Very nice cases. Didn't want the stock PSU, got an Enermax whisper. Don't pay for fast delivery - they got the system from CA to VA in 2 days for their standard shipping fee.
 
hhmm I see some new case's available in silver and some others with 400 watt ps and windows they didn't carry before.
 
How does that case compare this the Chieftec TA-10WD over at directron?
That one is $59, doesn't have a PS, doesn't have the 2 case fans included, has 1 extra 3.5" drive exposed, shipping is about $18.49 to California, and it will take 6 days to get here on Ground (already ordered it on the 30th 😉)
 


<< it looks great except that it doesnt appear to have a removable mobo tray >>



You can fit a space shuttle in there almost 😉, you don`t really need a removable tray,btw I`ve the black Chieftech dragon DA-01WD which I like a lot,
Chieftech cases .
 
Wow - looks great. Too bad Newegg has such crazy shipping when you buy several items - I wanted to buy this case with two Enermax fans (for the front fan slots), and the shipping was $30!
 
The computer case industry is getting a new business model. The core manufacturer makes the cases, perhaps with a few modifications for each wholesaler. The wholesaler then adds certain peripherals like fan ducts, power buttons, branding, etc. They then pass this on to a retailer.
This can be seen in:

1. Antec/Chenming/chieftec/enermax/etc line of cases, generally known as the SX8xx minitower, SX10xx midtower, and SX12xx fulltower.

2. Any Aluminum-Magnesium alloy case sold with an acrylic front bezel - SF-201, manufactered by Superflower as far as I can tell; competes with Lian Li, sold by enermax/directron/atlas.

3. "Hydraulic" case line, competes with the antec/chenming, has a sliding door that goes up and down. sold under directron/atlas/a dozen other companies.
 
You could also get the Antec SX 1200 (no powersupply), $58.64
sx1200 at www.provantage.com, search for sx1200.

Shipping costs will vary, but they use the same fulfillment house as www.buy.com used to (would usually get my stuff 1-2 days from local warehouse via UPS truck)

They also have other Antec SX cases without powersupplies
SX600 $35.54
SX800 $40.19
SX1000 $37.90
 
I just received my Chieftec today - what a sweet case! The thing is built like a tank, and the clever design of the fan retainers, drive bays, etc. make it a pleasure to work with. I am looking forward to going home and building it up later.
