It's the SLK-2650BQE <The BQE + PSU is a big ++
...if not, you can get a SLK-3700BQE for $40 after rebate at BB as well if your local stores have them in stock. I just got one last week. It comes with a 350W PSU.
In case you don't know what BQE is, it stands for "Black Quiet Edition" which is very important to many people.

I was about to say the same thing.

Antec power supplies are reputable though...can't the same thing about their rebates....they do come but man do they take forever.

The 3000B is a 3700BQE with different drive cage.

Damn, thanks for reminding me. I bought a Sonata from Fry's over a year ago and the rebate house never paid. I even faxed in the docs per their request, and they then told me it was too late and I'd have to go back to the retailer even though it's a MFR rebate.

I'm still debating if I should just get this and re-use a generic PSU I already have or go fuss with "Worst" Buy instead.

nice case. 3000b also has extra vent holes in the side unlike the 3700.

touche. forgot about those hehe. adds the vent holes and the cpu duct intel thing

 

[r0llot0masi]

picked one up, thanks

the 3000 has a better drive cage than the 3700 imho.

fits one more hd too.

You know, you can read the review on silentpcreview.
They put slk3000b as 8/7 while slk3700bqe= 7/6

My 3000b is great, I give it a 8/10. I would have gave it a perfect 10 if:

1. it had a metal front instead of a plastic one.

2. the side cpu duct was moveable as to center it directly over the cpu.

I modded the duct mod on mine so that it is perfectly centered over the cpu on my DFI Ultra-D. The duct extends all the way down to the fins of my Zalman 7000. When the fan ramps up, the side duct hole acts just like a vacuum and provides a noticeable cooling effect. Otherthan the plastic front, the case is very good build quality....

1. Metal front would make more noise.
2. You can never tell where the cpu fan duct would actually be.
