the true PS itself is 99.99, and it's really quiet.

 

[soltrain]

*extremely* quiet. I own one of these and I can't even tell it's on...

Too bad my volcano 9 sounds like a hair dryer.

 

[bjamm2]

i really need to go pick one of these up, too bad i gotta go buy a new tire instead

I agree with you! The Antec True 430 is really silent! This is a very good price for $99. Too bad I paid $130 for it a week ago. =(

go to Staples (B&M/Phone) and do a PM
they have it for $144.99 (IM1372076) online

PM to $99 (about $95.49 after 110% PM)
Add $4.51 worth of products
Add $20 off $100 coupon

Get the case plus $4.51 worth of products for $80+tax

I think the deal can be found at Fry's B&M... not outpost.com.... prices are usually different between the two...

 

[Bowfinger]

Great cases, that's a hot deal. Too bad there isn't a Fry's within 500 miles of here.

 

[Cybordolphin]

W3b......

There is no such thing as a $20 off $100 anymore. Unless you have an original, as the stores are requiring a copy of it now (in most cases), and they are requiring a faxed copy of the coupons if you order online.

 

[jeepers94]

Since when does Staples.com require a faxed copy of a coupon?I recieved this case thursday and used the coupon # online!

 

[kidsafe]

Agh. I bought that case about a week ago for $119 from Fry's thinking that was a pretty good deal. Does Fry's have anything like Circuit City's 14 day price guarantee?

 

[chizow]

Man....Fry's...again.....excellent deal.

Not on sale at the Garland, Tx store

 

[eljaye925]

I just picked one up. It's actually too big for my needs, but I couldn't pass up the deal. I've been looking at the 660, but I guess maybe I'll grow into it

Yes, Frys guarantees their prices, but not sure of the time frame. I was thinking it was 30 days? I got another $30 off of a CDRW a week after I bought it.

 

[larciel]

just saw it today, and demo model had 430w Powermax PSU

i'm sure Antec PSU is included in the sale items, which of course, was long gone

 

[monkied]

Does anyone know when will this deal expire and if any of the Bay Area Fry's has any in stock?

I got this case a few months ago from newegg and since I got it with a processor, the shipping was free. AWESOME case. Did i forget to say.. AWESOME CASE. pretty darn quiet. Only one hassle. If you want to get a side panel with a window... it almost always is out of stock (Considering that it is a new model). AMG ... aah.. the metallic gray. You probably will not be able to get a replacement side panel from most of the common retailers, atleast... that was the situation when I looked for one.

Power supply's one of the best out there. Case does get dusty easily even though it has a dust filter in the front. You could play around with the direction of the fans to fix that problem.

Good Luck

Dang, I can't find that particular receipt. I used a credit card though, so do you think they'd be able to refund me the difference by looking back at my recent purchases?:Q

Spoke too soon, I found it. Purchased Dec. 27 for $119.99 + tax.

Man I was lucky I grabbed the last one over at the OR fry's. If you are thinking about it get it. The only thing that bugs me is the door. The PS is top notch

Look for a Chieftech or Chenming case that looks the same. Then buy whatever window corresponds to that case. Chenming makes all the "Antec" clones.

I ordered an Antec Metallic Gray windowed side-panels from PC Connection over a week ago, it still hasn't shipped. The only problem I have with the windowed side-panels from other manufacturers is that the colors don't match and many of the windows don't have a fan mount. The Antec window is also smaller, which I prefer.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure only Antec not Chieftech or Chenming make metallic grey cases and side panels.

Great case. I modded a door for a friend so he could see his rheobus and LCD.
