Shipping depends on where you are; it only costs me $10 to ship to seattle.

hehe I just bought a used one for 25 now i'm feeling stupid for buying it used but oh well I only got it for 25 I can't complain!! and those fans are hot but too bad you need to purcahse 10 or more for the deal or else it would of been a nice buy.

Thanks - the $1.99 heatsink is just what I need for my budget build -- now to justify the $7 shipping...

edit: I bit and bought -- also got a couple of the aluminum fans for displaying in the window in the new Chieftec cases I ordered. Shipping was still only $6.92 to Seattle...

sweet deals

bah....i want that case SOOO bad for future customers. Too bad i live on the east coast...

Awesome, I picked up an XP-90. Now, I can drop it from my newegg wish list ($58.99!!!) for my next build. Thanks!

 

[Pollock]

The XP-90 does look great at that price, but I've already got a nice Zalman so I don't see much point in getting one.

 

[wkwong]

added the $1.99 cooler to thread, thanks uurda

 

[Idleuser]

I gave in and bought 12 fans and a case thanks!

Great post! I got the Cavalier 3 case (black) a couple weeks ago and it has far exceeded my expectations. It's an incredibly solid build, I couldn't be happier.

All the reviews of the case find one similar problem: this case used to only be available with a low wattage power supply that most people replaced. They suggested that the price should be lower and it should not include a power supply and viola, SVC has it without a PS for about $45 less then most other places. For $36 you could get the popular power supply on newegg and have a great case with a great PS.

I think the silver model with a window is now more expensive ($65?), but the black one is still $50 (I went with the black one).

sorry, double post

Those who live in the SF Bay Area have the option of picking up their items at SVC's warehouse and pay no shipping! Especially good if you are going to buy a heavy item like an ATX Case or a power supply.

Shipping for me (Berkeley, CA) was like $8 with some other small parts (which actually were shipped separately). Hardly worth the drive to pick them up myself ($probably about the same $8 on gas and wear on the car). Arrived very quickly by mail for me, great stuff, I think of them as a more local newegg.

Another case to consider (at least one that I looked at) from SVC is the COOLER MASTER CAC-T05-UB CENTURION 5 MID TOWER CASE - BLUE or silver

$5 more, no window, no door to the drives, mesh bezel for increase air flow whatnot ... cool looking, I liked it because I'm usually not into the door over the drives ... but I wanted the window (useless, I know) and the Cav3 just looked better ... plus I have a dusty house and the mesh front probably would fill up with dust too fast and become a hassle. Just another one to consider, both are good according to the reviews I read.

 

[imverygifted]

top notch

 

[imported_macshark]

Centurion 5 is probably a better case, at least functionally, even though the Cavalier 3 maybe better looking as you suggested. Centurion 5 had the very good cooling and the lowest noise levels compared to other cases in the same price range.

Here is AnandTech's review of the Centurion 5.
