I'm looking for an online seller with a great track record and one that rivals Directron.com . Just looking for a few more options, that's all.

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

i'd definately consider anywhere where returns are easy.

from experience,

cases come with very little padding.
and those ups or fedex guys are not too kind when it comes to large boxes light enough to throw as they please.

while the rest of the case is made out of metal... so it's okay to take the damage,
the PSU and plastic front cover isn't.

i've ordered many cases. but about 30% of them come with boxes all destroyed.

i had to return 2 so far.

so make sure you order from places where returns are easy. or places where they'll double box.

i'd recommend newegg... for easy returns.

now that staples has antec cases,
you might want to look into them.

staples do their own delivery.
much better interms of damage control.

hoihtah has the right idea. I've ordered two online, both arrived damaged. I've had good luck at computer swap meets, cases are probably the only real "deal" you can find there now.
