They have deals on other cases too.

Mixed reviews at reseller ratings.

That be a nice case if I had a job and could buy it to build me a new box... With shipping included I think it's a great deal

 

[Jeffwo]

I have bought a couple of cases from PCInfinity(actually it is Infinity Systems Plus)
and I have been pleased with them.

Hard to beat that deal on a case w/300Watt Power supply (including shipping).

Whats the likelyhood of the ps handling an XP1800 with AGP card, modem, sound card, 1 HD, 1 CDROM, 1 CDRW?

Any chance this ps is approved my amd or intel?

 

[Kuzco]

Just orderd Cant beat that price for a decent lookin case with a 300 watt powersupply. i use a 250 watt on a p2-440 with 4 hds and 2 cdroms tnt2 and 4 fans.... and still have no problems

Wow! Mixed reviews is being too kind! Afraid my blood pressure wouldn't handle dealing with these folks. Gonna have to pass, although this looks like a decent case.

i bought the 400w case w/usb (+$5) and case fan (+$3). $37 + $0.74 insurance (why not) = 37.74 shipped

Yeah, I thought the same thing too when I checked them out. However, minendo was one of the ones who had rated them on Resellers ratings and they later made things right with him. So I gave them a try. I bought a barebones 1 gig duron system and it came in 4 days after they received my money. While I was setting it up, it blew the power supply. They RMAed it right away. Then I bought a video card and CDROM....they shipped it right away. Then I ordered another case with 300w P.S. They shipped it right away, everything was working fine.

Soo...your mileage may vary but that is my experience with them.

Only bad thing I noticed is when you try to call them, sometimes you have to call several times to get them to answer the phone.

Best of luck,
Jeff

hammered!

Does anyone know if this case can handle an XP 1800+ or 1900+ with the PS included, or Would the 400Watt one be able to, or will I just have to buy a 100+ dollar case?

 

[JEDI]

these are not AMD approved PS, but 400w should handle any XP. they take up less power than the thunderbirds

hm..now that i think about it, what was the $5 USB option i ordered??? was it for front usb, or just usb cables!??!

True, but that other case looks a lot sweeter... methinks the blue interior would go nice with a window kit

Also, does anyone have a link to a review of this case? Some more detailed pics would be nice too.

are there reviews for cases too?

if so could u give me a link to any site...

and if u'd recommend me a case which company would you recommend....antec....i dont see much difference in most of the cases..although the price varies quite a bit.

Hey Ramsnake, many of your favorite computer hardware websites also have reviews for cases. Take Anandtech (Although this hasn't been updated for a while) Ars Technica also has reviews and so do a whole bunch of other places. There are some pretty good deals on Chieftec (same as Antec/Chenming) cases right now, and they are generally pretty good when it comes to cooling and versatility.

One more thing, Ramsnake, if you find a case that you like, try searching for a review in Google. Usually the more popular cases have tons of reviews by different sites.

thanks for the info.... i guess i never looked up reviews for cases because i never bought a case before, objectively speaking is it worth to go for say a 130$ case over a 75$ when the difference in features are too small?

Well, there are a lot of factors when it comes to cases to be considered, things like heat dissipation and how well the case dampens the noise from the fans. Also, a lot of times you're paying extra for the construction quality- things like rounded edges to prevent cuts and whatnot. How much you want to spend really depends on you.

got shipping confirmation via UPS

Got the case today. It is small, has a side fan, slots for two fans in the back and two for the front. Very flimsy. If not for the restocking fee, i would return the case. Oh well...

nice! question... the front usb option... is it like an extra usb port on the front of the case, or is it like one of those 5.25" drive bay thingies?

 

[Coraanu]

Sweet deal! I am there!

 

[JEDI]

it comes w/a side fan?! damn, i spent $3 more on the optional fan. oh well..
