i still like my turbo cases from totalpcetc $33 no rebates 320 watt power with side fan.nice case

 

[oldfart]

I was just looking at this too. Anyone know if it would have a vertical or horizontally mounted power supply?

Couldn't find any cases for $33 no rebates and with shipping, wouldn't your case cost OVER $50.00? Guess what I'm saying, is that if you put down a hot deal, at least back it up with a link or something better than. "on the internet I found one for less money!". Or if it wasn't a putdown, there is a brag and moan forum.
AND on a different note $19.00 for a 300 wat PSU seems like a REAL good deal.

The case is tempting....has anyone had any experience with it? Is it AMD recommended?

 

[Pothead]

I guess someone didn't get thier dose of coffee today.

 

[Pothead]

The turbo case is there for $33.

No shipping if you pick it up.

Shipping is 14.41 for UPS ground.

Have a nice day!

 

[Petey00]

hmm... the only turbo case I saw at www.totalpcetc.com is priced at $43 which includes the 320W p/s.

Is this is same one?

Turbo Case

oops, my bad.

There are two Turbo Cases, the black colored one is $43 while the beige colored one is $33.

 

[Quicktripper]

Just came back from compusa. This case is said to "support" the AMD athlon processor, but does not say AMD recommended anywhere. Proceed with caution.

 

[oldfart]

Did you notice if the PS is mounted vertically or horizontally?

 

[Edge17]

Me and my friend both bought CompUSA cases a while back. BOTH powersupplies failed withen 3 months. We bought them in June. Mine failed in July, and his in August. Personally, I don't feel this is a hot deal.

 

[djheater]

I bought my mom this case when I built here comp. Power supply failed within six months. Looks like it's an epidemic

 

[Relayer]

I'm glad I read this before I went and bought one. I guess it would be better to pay another $15 and get a name brand cheap a$$ case.

Just curious though...does the power supply have the P4 plug?

 

[Schmaty]

I had also bought one of the FMI cases @ Comp USA. Tho power supply failed in about 2 months (they did replace it though). My next case was an Antec - no problems!

 

[Ark]

Just got PS - I needed one anyway for old PC, $20 is not bad.
Made by "four star inc." it comes with ATX 2.03 spec with ATX12V and Aux 3.3V connectors and PS fan sensor.
I was surprized, that it has only 20A on 5V - my old 250W had 27A, but it is still within ATX spec, giving total 146Watts on 5V and 3.3V together.
12V source has 14A capacity (within ATX 2.03 spec).

 

[Keiyen]

So how is that Turbo case? I can't find any pics of it other than the outside view of it.
What's it like inside? Removable sides? etc etc. Thanks!

 

[whatnow]

For oldfart, it's mounted vertical

 

[Conundrum]

Yeah, I usually don't say anything bad about a good deal on a case but... if they're using the same PS from when I bought one. Mine went bad inside of 2 months.... and I know 2 other people whose went bad inside of 6 months.

If you're going to get in on this deal, I recommend having a replacement power supply on hand.

 

[MacInThebox]

Schmaty,

Did you mean they replaced this case with an Antec? If not, how did your second FMI case go?

 

[oldfart]

Thanks. I dont like the verticle mount PS designs. I think I'll pass on this one.

 

[lsman]

yes. vertical, no space for real fan (unless you mod and make it yourself) --> not a AMD design (they call for front and real fan)

 

[RamIt]

I just picked one up and the power supply is mounted horiziontally.

 

[scdill]

My power supply is also mounted horizontal, and there is room for both a front and rear fan. Different cases???

 

[deras]

any one have anything good to say about this case... looks pretty grim so far
