why can't these companies make good PLAIN cases? I'm not a ricer...

Well just take a nail clipper and cut the wires to the leds, not exactly rocket science!

and which ones are the wires to the leds? i had a case before that had LED fans and there was no way to tell.

bah i paid $89 for it like 3 months ago heh.

great case. only thing i dont like is the power button is on the top. i have mine setting on my desk. so its a reach to tun on/off.

 

[superHARD]

WOW hot deal!

Ok da%nit I'm going back to frys to see if they have a psu 24pin extension cable. My psu will not reach the plug on the top of the mobo. Seek caution if your 24 pin connector is a short one you might want to pickup or order a cable extension. Mine is about an inch and a half from plugging in with no way to make it work as my psu has a 120mm fan so I can't flip it over the other way. :-( All in all so far seems like a wonderfull layout. Now If I can just keep my 9 ide drives in order so everything still works. LMAO

Edit Link for what is needed....

That problem was only with the REV 1 case, they are long gone and the later ones are fine.
Antec took care of the earlier ones if anyone asked, supplied new parts free. This is a terriffic deal, you could not buy just the fans for this price. It is also VERY quite with the fans on low which still gives great ventilation.

 

[audscott]

Thanks for the video card fit update!!

Thanks too OP!

Out the door now!

Crap forgot all about posting the extension pn's
$9.95 20 pin
2473430
$2.99 4 pin molex to 4 pin square
3067359

I forgot all about this because I ran into a disaster after swapping all this over.
I boot it up and it hung after memtest then would continue but would say nthdlr missing.
So i restart go in bios ide config shows no drives but boot settings and under harddrives it showed them.
So I shut down clear cmos and poof no post
its not spinning the hard drives or even powering the dvd drives.
I have installed a case speaker and pulled everything but the cpu. I tested my gpu in another box and pulled a stick of ram out of it and replaced mine with it still same thing. Not posting to the monitor or giving any beeps. So I guess I need a new mobo. What a crop of s$%# I have never had a mobo die on me before. This sucks.

So now do I go with another 939 ddr1 pcie mobo or wait till amd slash's prices tomorrow and get a am2 setup sell my ddr1 ram on here and pick up ddr2? Choices choices. I really don't have the time or money to wait to sell my ram on here and to wait for newegg or someone to ship a combo. This just all out bites.

Well got my mobo to work again.

scgt1 - care to explain what all you are running in your computer?
Looks REALLY messy, and kinda interested to know what you are running

So overall people are liking this case?
I think I may get this for my build.

Damn, this is a great deal on a fine case. Too bad I have a backlog of 4-5 unused cases and simply CAN'T justify this to myself. Sigh. I can be SO cruel.

I'm in the same boat as you. I just can't justify another case right now while I have five unused cases sitting around. I'd also have to dump the LED fans. I just can't get into it, especially for front fans.

 

[csmaster2005]

Also, how loud are all the fans its running?

They have three speed fans. On the low setting, it should be virtually silent. I have a SuperLanboy with similar 120mm fans, except that you can't adjust the fan speeds. They are pretty silent.

I called my two local fry's today in SoCal. They are all sold out and the sale ends tuesday. However, they will give you a raincheck if you go in. They sold 20 cases just this morning.

i will get my raincheck manana.

alright I hope so, I think I found the case I was looking for, for my next build.

I ordered mine on 7/6 at 7 pm and it is on the DHL truck for delivery today!! It shipped out of Ohio-talk about service. Now , to see if it gets here intact.


EDIT-IN The DOOR at 12:30pm

PS-To those who keep comparing this to P180/182, ETC. My decision was influenced most by having a door or not having a door- doors are a PITA

 

[blacklit]

fyi, this thing also serves as a great ionizer.. ionic breeze if you turn the fans up high enough. expect to dust/vacuum the front plates, where the fans are, about once a month. and stock up on compressed air cans. even high up [on my nephew's printer desk], it's a sucker so don't expect it to look good without cleaning often.

i got in on the p180s and p180b deals... considering what those [far superior cases] were had for : ) this is quite a let-down. air-flow is over rated; what good is it when dust sticks to the components, making a home between heatsink fins?

the next revision of this should at least include removable air filters and change the face plate design.. or be a total redesign. disappointing case... that said, my nephew loves it ~

p.s. he said it looks made to pwn

 

[afroggy]

I'm with your nephew. It's a nice case. Living in a VERY dusty area, I don't seem to have any more dust problems with this case than others in the house. Overall, I'm quite happy.

Maybe I'm just a slob?

I really do like the room, looks and build of this box. The price is acceptable.

Just my opinion.

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

link brings back an error. deal dead for the web?

 

[csmaster2005]

ya it was working before. You gotta go to the store and pick it up. I bought one today. In the morning they had 35 in stock, 4 hours later they had only 22 or so.

 

[dtanderson]

I ordered mine yesterday and it is backordered....

 

[pontifex]

i broke down and ordered one on saturday. got it yesterday.

the leds aren't as bad as I thought they were. i still may get new fans or cut the led wires if i can figure out which ones they are.

for 4 huge fans, this thing is fairly quiet. i have everything set to medium speed. low speed is really quiet. i don't notice a whole lot of difference between medium and high speed volume. seems to really keep the system cool.

one thing i don't really like is that the panel with the clear screen seems really fragile and cheaply made. i had a case with a side screen once before and it was pretty sturdy (and that case only cost $50 normally, not $150).

my old case (Coolermaster Centurion, the one with the silver pillars in the front) had the mesh grills in the front with a 120mm intake fan and it was a dust magnet. we'll see how this one is, especially with 2 120mm intake fans.

 

[kill200]

I ordered one, it is backordered...anyone one know how long it usually takes to ship out??

 

[fuentefan]

this case lowered my E6300 at 3.0ghz by 7 degrees celcius (TAT)

 

[jellysandwichx]
