If you get anywhere on that do tell, I am in the same boat.

I own the Antec 1030 clone of this case. Anyone know where I can buy a replacement door for it with the window installed?

Bought the silver case last time around and am very happy with the case and service. The window kit and light was an additional $45 and $ 55 for the case. $18 shipped to Cinci Ohio. The window kit and light are now $29.00. so price is the same for any color as previously.
I had looked all over for a blue one at the time and could not beat this price so I went with silver. Wish i had wait for the blue.
This case is big and heavy, maybe a little overkill, but great for upgrades and will last a lifetime. May get a blue one anyway.
Anyone know what they mean by sound activated neon lite? The one I received with my silver case does not show sound activated
on the box. I have not installed the lite yet because I want to buy a switch to mount in a bay to turn it on and off. Did anyone else do this? Can't see the light staying on 24/7.

tbird57,

I bought my cold cathode light kit at a local shop. The tech guy said he just leaves his light on 24/7, so I figure it must be all right.

I live fairly close to their main office, anyone know if you can pick up the case to save shipping? I tried calling them but no one picks up. They have a very weird phone #

I doubt it is valid, but it probably spells out something (liike 1-800-MATTRESS where you leave of the last S for savings). Anyway, I am sure it will work without the 3 at the end.

I am considering getting this case, but does anyone know if the window (on the blue model) looks okay without getting the case light? I am not sure I really want a case light, but the pictures I have seen so far have all included one, so I assume the window is pretty worthless without the light.

So, what is the verdict on this case and power supply? Will it work nicely for a new system to run an overclocked P4 1.8A?

if you got a really nice system change the PSU because there are mix comments on the PSU. Probably not a computer to leave on all the time due to the turbine engine in the back.

hector13,
If you read through the last thread others have had trouble calling them, but had success with email. They were pretty good responding to an email I sent them to get my tracking number for shipping. You may want to fire an email to them with your question.

As far as the light goes... When I first got mine set up with no light I sat here staring at it and said to myself "That looks stupid with no light, I can't see any of the fans spinning or anything." So, yes, I agree that the window is kinda useless with no light. I let my kids pick the color, ended up with green. Even the wife thinks it looks cool

As far as the PS noise, some people say this thing sounds like a jet engine. I really don't find mine that loud, maybe a tad louder than my Antec 300W PS, but not much. It's all relative I guess.

Im a lilttle confused. The extra 15 to have the window installed comes with the light? it says 15 for window installed which leads me to believe there is no light. but in the descrption on the next page it says

COLOR: BLUE (+10)
WINDOWS & NEON LIGHT: SEE THROUGH WINDOWS INSTALLTED (+15)

The +25 is for windows and light installed. So they are charging 10 dollars extra for the light installing?

I understood it as 15 for the window, and then another 14 for the neon as well. I ordered a blue one with window and light. I called about the will-call. They said no go. They don't have a liscense to do retail business, or so he said.

Too bad, If i really wanted to I can get them to send me a neon light. At checkout and before that it cleary states windows and neon light. just not neon light not installed. At checkout it looks like this.

Strange... buyxtremegear.com is giving me a prompt for login/password.


Edit - and now it's back up.

 

[mritz]

I received a email telling me my case was shipped yesterday but no tracking #
Sent them email requesting a tracking # no reply as of yet

 

[agrall]

Is the power supply really that noisy?? I'm trying to decide whether to get this case or an Antec SX840...

What are the dimensions of this case? Anyone know?

 

[PHiuR]

hmm the power supply is pretty loud...i used to be able to keep the computers on at night and sleep... and i think with this one it will be kind of hard (until i get use to it)

Ok, I'm confused. Is this the full tower Chieftec that's 26.4" (670mm) in height or the smaller "entry-level server" tower that's 20.5" (522mm) in height? I know they call it a full tower but in some of the pics I've seen it looks more like the smaller tower.

 

[mritz]

Whaahoo Mine just came
Measures 21 3/8" T x 18 3/4" D x 8" W
looks real nice
From what I have been reading on this case the Turbolink P/S is actualy a Channelwell P/S which is a Antec P/S ??
Real good deal if this part is true

 

[nerdherd]

To those that ordered the sound activated light, how do you guys like yours, is it too bright? does the light turn on as soon as you turn on the pc? Thanks in advance.
