I recently had a thread here in search for a black alienware chassis to no avail :(

Now Im looking to purchase a black replica tower (im going with the black color scheme:))

I dont haul my computer around at all so I dont care for aluminum or steel...

Who has the cheapest price :)?

I got 1 from Newegg, 1 from Directron, and 1 from eGay. I personally like Directron, but newegg has been very good to me also. As far as prices, I haven't really kept up on who is cheapest.

yeah, I've gotten 1 from Newegg and 1 from Directron. Cheiftec from Directron, Antec from Newegg, just worked out like that (best deal I could find at the time :)) Dunno about the cheapest price though...just pick a kinda case you want, then look at the different places and find it :)

Googlegear and buy.com for 2 Antec sx- (830, 630), newegg would also be a good choice.

Everyone seems to love newegg. Their resellerrating speaks for itself. Im located in southern california.. probably live an hour away from newegg. I called and asked if I could do a will call or possibly have it shipped to me via ground, because the only option for shipping through newegg is fedex express saver.

Hi,
If you`re in the UK, or indeed Europe, the either Overclockers UK / The Overclocking Store / Overclock UK, are the best places for any Cheiftec/Antec/Chenming Cases and Accessories (such as pre modded case panels, with windows/fan fixings).

IMHO Cheiftec/Antec/Chenming cases are excellent value for money, and even if you`ve coughed up more money that what your Mobo cost, you know that the case is quailty, they`ve thought of everything. I only have a few problems, with my case any way. Check my thread on this Here

Fixed your link so I could see it. ( You only use the Capital L= and the EQUAL sign - leave the ' ink ' out

Here is a nice one that is in stock

After looking at it I agree - I came down to this case and the Silver finish Aluminum case - it was $ 5 less, but same base case.
This is the case base that Alienware builds on - with the straight accross front grill plate instead of curved.
Same base unit that Antec uses for their unit, just install a different power supply - same with Chenming, Etc.
Very popular case, very little thats not well done. Now if everyone had one.......................

My purchase went fine, but others did mention getting the wrong color or an un-asked-for window.

I think, judging from their site design and products available, that they are just a reseller for CyberpowerPC although I may be mistaken. I got my case from Cyberpower, black (steel) Chieftec w/ window and cold cathode for around $100 shipped about a year ago. If I were to get one today I would get it from newegg and I would get a blue aluminum chieftec with a window and from USB 2.0 and Firewire. Its only $75 w/o a PS!
