[DEAD] Antec SLK1650B W/350Watt PSU. $37 shipped AR

[uwannawhat]

Came to $37 shipped AR for me.

Antec SLK 1650B

Heres the $25 Rebate Form

Credit goes to Chrs over @ FW.

Nice deal, I'm pondering. Don't need it but can't beat it. Mine comes out to $35 AR

 

[fornax]

How on Earth do you get $35 shipped? Do you live in their back yard? For me ground shipping is $21, which with the tax completely obliterates the rebate.

 

[ishmael2k]

Comes to $35.91 AR for me (Ground shipping is $10.92)

Going to go ahead and grab one.

Thanks OP

Rob

Outpost defaults there shipping when you check out to overnight delivery. (Why?, I have no idea). Just change to ground shipping. Should not be more than $13.00.

Please feel free to point me to an Apex case that comes with rubber grommets to help quiet the hard drives, a 120mm exhaust fan, rolled steel construction, AND a high quality 350w power supply for $37 shipped.

I have cheap cases in my office as well as a half dozen Antec cases including this one and you can tell a huge difference between them. If you actually examined this case and seriously came to this conclusion then your opinion is worthless. But I'm glad because you're one less know-nothing wannabe enthusiast who might snag one of these before I can get to them next time.

 

[imported_kleptophobiac]

I'm in, $35.46 AR shipped. Too bad it's black, but I'll deal with it.

 

[the Juice]

You will not find a better case for the money. Thanx OP.

 

[bbtaco]

I am about to order this case. Has anyone recieved this case from Outpost.com? Does the PSU have 16 or 21 Amps on the 12+ volt rail? I read a review here: http://www.moddin.net/review.a...iewID=157&PageNo=0 and it showed it came with the SL350P. Is this because it is in England? Antec shows it as coming with the SL350? Which Antex PSU Does it come with?

 

[DrPizza]

wtf! I was happy with this price for a power supply. I'm getting a whole case?!

wait a second..... an antec 350 watt PS is $59.99.... (at outpost)
This case comes with another brand's power supply or something??

 

[Engineer]

There's another $5 rebate for this through pricegrabber.com (must do a review). Limited number of rebates @ pricegrabber though.

Click on the $5.00 bonus link.

 

[DrPizza]

Hey, Thanks Engineer! Saved me an extra $5

 

[fornax]

Bummer. _Ground_ shipping is $21 for me Oh well...

 

[imported_kleptophobiac]

Ground shipping from CA to KY was $10.50.... Be sure to click "Choose ground shipping" after you have entered your details.

Dude, take it easy. Was it necessary to insult him like that?

I picked up the SLK1650B a couple days ago at a Frys B&M. And my impressions are that this is one quality case especially for the price ( $25/AR plus tax). Usually when I build a PC using those cheap cases, I some how end up with a cut or a scrape. But with Antec I can't remember when I scraped or cut myself. I currently own three antec cases, and the quality of their product is superior to these generic brands.
Now regarding the SL350 PSU that comes with case, it has dual fans, 2 sata connectors, and 21A on the 12v. The case comes with 120mm Exhaust fan, rubber grommets on the 3.5 drive bay, and a side mounted fan duct. For $25/AR for a good PSU and case, it was really hard to pass up.

His opinion isn't worthless, rather the truth is somewhere in-between. This is not built as well as some of Antec's other cases. The power supply is only an SL series. It's a good case for the price and better than unknown/generic but in the overall hiearchy of cases it's easily bested by many that cost more... so everything is right in the world for once, you get less case for less $, though it's good enough for a typical system build.

It's great that Antec has 120mm rear fan on their lower-end case, but IMO one needs to enlarge the front intake a bit for modern component support.

 

[imported_kleptophobiac]

I ignore front intakes.... I use only the rear 120's now. Everything works fine.

This is a pretty good case, just read the user comments at Newegg.
It doesn't say anywhere that this is a USB 2.0 case, however, you might get by with it (2.0, that is).

I take offense at people illogically crapping a deal. I've seen similar posts followed up with, replies like "Thanks, I was considering this before reading that". And then people on other forums quote posts like that referring to "negative reviews".

But, ya, I shouldn't been insulting. It's a personal peev I should keep to myself. I'll share it with my therapist and parole officer next timeI see them.
