The Friday sale ads are good through to the following Tuesday...so it's still good today and tomorrow.

If your local store is out make sure to grab a raincheck.

I bought a 1035 about 5 months ago for $77....I'm so tempted to get this one even though I don't really need it.

Thanks Grimm1!

I just got one of these cases and absolutely love it. Plenty of room and the power supply is obviously very nice. For $99 I think this is absolutely hot especially if its a local pickup. BTW...dont want to sound like a 3l33t loser or anything, but an LED fan on the side panel looks incredibly good and I do not typically like that kind of thing.

I just tried to PM this to staples in order to use a $20 off coupon and the sales associate person on the website is all like they don't have the same warranty. Fry's sposedly has a 1 year warrantly even though the manual says it has a 3 year warranty, which Staples has. What gives?

Newbie question:

How do I pricematch a Fry's B&M price at Staples if there is no way for Staples to access that price through Outpost?

Thankee!

Did anyone connect their front USB/Fire port to your motherboard? I'm thinking about buying a new ribbon cable for it.

I don't know, but you could probably give them the Fry's Sunnyvale number, (408) 617-1300 , and tell them to speak to the telesales consultant. I dont know if they give the flyer price or the outpost price over the phone tho.

Here's a pdf of the ad if that helps anyone.

Fry's Antec Ad

true! I like the ability for Firewire/USB2 on the front, but hate the stupid header pins that you have to put in. Trying to stuff all 9 of them onto the board that's already in the case is enough to make you lose it and go postal.

I still haven't gotten it to go right yet. Ah well.

They called Fry's up. Fry's computers say it has a 1yr warranty although the actual warranty IS 3 years, so Staples will prolly not PM it.

Seriously! I just attempted to connect all the pins - assuming I did it correctly. I connected a USB mouse to test it and it seemed to work. I rebooted and try other peripherials and it doesn't work anymore!
What were they thinking?!

I called to pricematch this with fry's several times with no luck. Everytime the CSR called to verify the price, they got the 1 year warranty thing which killed it. Where is Fry's getting a 1 year warranty? It says right on the box "AQ3 Antec quality 3 year warranty" (or something like that). I was even asking the staples CSR to make sure to get the Fry's clerk to look at the box. Then I would still run into a wall with the excuse "we would need corporate approval because the difference is more than $40, please call back tomorrow" Ugh.

Well I finally took a trip over to my local Staples B&M and was successful. I gave the staples clerk the Fry's phone number (I used the Campbell, CA store 408.377.7030) and the Fry's item number (3409213) for reference. After they verified the price and availability, that was all they needed. Then I simply ordered the case (item IM1372076) with their in-store online computer, took the printout to the register, waited for the manager to bring the price to 144.99-49.5 = 95.49, scooped up 10 nice pens on clearance at 50 cents each and had the cashier enter in the 20 off 100 coupon.

Now I did all of this before I saw the posted copy of the Fry's ad which may have helped. But anyway, great deal for a great case with a top quality PSU.

Hope this helps someone and good Luck. I think the Fry's deal is over tomorrow (the 7th).

Deal is active again...listed in todays Orange County Fry's ad...good thru the 21st.

Fry's has updated the information in their system. It should now reflect a 3 year warranty on the Antec cases

 

[bjamm2]

ooh that link to the ad still is good, i wonder if i could print out and use for a PM @ staples?

 

[alluu]

I assume this deal is dead...just when my PS dies and I wouldn't mind a new case.

Is this aluminum. If it aint, it aint for me.
