Antec P160 Case *dead, back up to $100 after MIR*

[bearauto]

I want this.

 

[ELopes580]

Now I dont know if I want this or not.

Alright. I am looking into a new case and dont want to spend much more than ~75. For those of you that have this would this be my best choice for the price? I dont need flashy lights or windows. Just something light and that will be easy to install everything in. 120mm fans would be nice and front usb, sound, etc is also nice. Thanks!

Same here, this was my dream case for a while now. Never seen one up close though.


...heading to CompUSA at lunchtime.

With my Antec true power 400 it would be a nice case huh?

DOH! OOS at my Knoxville store!

As I've said I have one of these w/window & it's a great case for this price it's awesome!

i started researching cases about a month ago and had a heck of a time deciding on one. thought for sure is was going to end up with the antec 3700bqe. when i first saw the p160 in person i also disliked the front bezel. when this deal came along i decided to pick up the p160 since it had 2 120 fans and was known for being a relatively quite case. when i got home and pulled it out of the box i was quite happy with my purchase. i like the construction and features, such as the temp display on the bezel, and i think i have already grown to accept the bezel, lol.

I was at Compusa today. If I needed a case, I would be all over this. I love how the hard drives are turned sideways. That would give a whole bunch more room for the Mobo.

Ok, I give in. I'm gonna pick this SOB up tomorrow and spray paint the front bezel black or something. Time to order some Panaflo 120mm lows, rubber rings, and some screw and nuts for the exhaust fan. Didn't one of the reviews say the rubber screws that came w/ the case are easy to break?

I have to agree. I went to check them out today and ended up purchasing one. I have liked the look of these since I first saw one, and Antec's build quality is top notch.

The floor model was fairly trashed, but that's pretty much expected. People trying to "open" the CD-Rom doors and push the buttons without a product installed to brace their efforts.

I'm sure I made a good decision.

Thanks Corpun, for posting this!

I have a friend with the P160 and another with the lanboy. I must say that the build quality of the P160 is much better than that of the lanboy. Personally, I like the P160 much better.

Ordered for In-Store PickUp last night. They called this morning saying they didn't have it. At least the other stores around me told me they were out of stock. Sucky. Shady even =P

Edit: So, instead of getting this case, I went for this deal. Not quite as sweet of a case, but still seemed like a good deal to me.

 

[mlk3454]

Out of stock within 100 miles of me as well. I wonder if they will raincheck it with the instant savings? The MIR last day is today...

**Edit: Man I missed out! I get to crapusa at 630 and they closed at 6!!! The rest of the mall closes at 7, what kind of crap is that?

got one for $49.99 no rebates

I actually had to drive 100+ miles to get to a COMPUSA (in Greensboro, NC) from Central VA but I wanted to visit the city anyways

when I got there the only p160 and it was the store display with one of the CD Drive door/ panel missing (after further examination I realized that the panel had slipped down) plus two rubber feet where missing
aside of that , the case was in perfect condition with all accessories but without a box or a manual

I was disappointed thinking that I wasted my time going there
until I realized that I had a golden opportunity

I asked to talk to the manager and was planning to get at least 10% discount
the manager toldme that he was ready to work with me and up fronttook it down to $59.99 since there was no box and thus no UPC for the rebate
additioanlly I gave me $10.00 off for a total of $49.99

the case is a very good one very light and with a lot of room and features

that was a good way to end the year and start the new one

God has been good to me!

 

[mlk3454]

I am jelous now

Your turn will come

What an ass statement. It is a case, not a TV that has been running 24/7. He got a good deal, dont be a jag.

/me laughs at you who pays more

Floor models and refurbished products are the best deals to be had... they come with the same warranties, have been tested at least twice (refurbs), and cost tons less!

Anyhoo, this case looks like a great deal but I'd better think of a good arguement to get the wifey to agree

I had to jump on this deal, ended up going to CompUSA nearby (as all stores within 100 mi were sold out for me as well) talked to the manager, and pre-paid for the case ($109+ tax) and thus got the instant savings, as well as a printed recipt (dated 1/1/05) for the mail in rebate. The manager said they have 4 of them ariving next week, so I should be all good. Thank goodness for rain-checks, good deal!
