Case blow out at TigerDirect: DEAD

[JEDIYoda]

Now thats a blow out!!
I would have snagged one of those cases but I am partial to having a clear side panel thus no case.

 

[LukeMan]

this will make for a good secondary system case.

 

[Ragnarok2]

Screw TigerDirect. I drove my ass all the way down there to get me one of those cases and what do I get? A used case thats missing half the stuff and the LCD in the front isn't working. Further examination proved that the LCD was not soldered to the pins and it had mayonaise or something like that on the back(WTF???)

 

[iseestars]

Anyone figure out on the fan size? 92 or 120mm?

 

[Gazziza]

a high quality case indeed. if you look at the manufacturer website it says it passes the Intel Prescott 3.2ghz Thermal Test. apparently thats the industry standard going forward

 

[iseestars]

Website seems to be down

OOS

That is what I get for not jumping on this deal while I was at work. "I'll just get it later tonight," I said. "This is a great deal, but there is no way it will sell out before I get home and order one," I said.

Moral of the story: I should stop talking to myself and place the order sooner!

 

[touchmyichi]

kind of meh on the last 3 (not too into the game case look), but man the first one looks great for 20 bucks. Thanks for the super hot deal, i'll pass this along to friends in the market for one.

We're sorry, the product you have searched for is no longer available for sale.

 

[Ragnarok2]

EDIT to previous post: OK I drove back to TigerDirect(outlet store) and got the broken case replaced fast and free. Even tho online it says no longer available, the store in my city had a large quantity of them available.

In case you guys are wondering, the case is freaking awesome. Especially for only $20. The LCD in the front is pretty sweet, but makes some beeping sounds when it gets too hot in there.

Thats not Tiger Directs fault that you didn`t check everything before you left the store.
Sounds to me as if it was buyer error.....lol

 

[Ragnarok2]

Oh it was the stores fault alright. They had a terrible case that was missing everything and they still packed it up, taped it up, and sold it to me. This time I made them do thorough examinations of the case I got(same one) and now everything works and everything is there.
Good stuff.

 

[turkishharem]

Back in stock. I just got one for 33.57 shipped.

How about neither?
"The instructions are vague, at best. The case takes 2 80mm and 1 90mm fan."

That is from their review section at TD....

So the link that the OP has is to a NEWER case it seems, not this one.

 

[addikt1337]

I dig the case, but man does the shipping sting. $18 and some change to ship it to me. Anyone else having similar sticker shock?

[Ragnarok2]

Oh yeah one more question, do your guy's cases have a fan bracket on the side window?

Which is why I said....

I'm thinking it's an older model with a 92MM in the back. It's got to be an older model or something because the one on Tiger shows only vents in the front and the one on Casetek shows a 120MM in the front.

 

[sureshot005]

off topic but

Damn! Naper's got it all these days

used 2 live there before Fry's and TD were around

Shipping is for a 16lb item... so yea, itll be $$

 

[TechZen]

Thanks OP. Was trigger shy last night but pulled it today. Got one for $33 shipped. Dusting off the dremel and nibbler so this "older version" will take 120's

Yeah it is easy, You can just use the fan as a template or dl a template here...

120mm Fan Template

Or for the back fan you could add an adapter like this Clear 120mm To 92mm Acrylic Fan Adapter . I would mount it on the outside of the case (just my personal preference.)and use a Nibbler Tool (on clearance at RS for $4 BTW) (if you don't have a dremel) to remove the fan grill for better air flow.
