Don't be a fool John... front usb is worthless... if you really want it bad just mod your case. Its not worth the extra $20 to fork over...

I dont really think front USB is worthless, and I dont think wanting it makes me a fool Besides how can I mod my case to have front usb for much less than 20$? all the usb drive plates out there cost about 15 - 17$

Wow. I was going to jump on this a couple weeks ago when I saw ActiveX mention it over on the Cases forum, but I couldn't get any input as to their service, and their reseller rating didn't look so hot (it was the first company I'd ever checked there). I don't remember it having front USB. Had I known, I'd have gone for it despite the RR. As it is, I bought this for $49. I wanted blue, but it wasn't worth another $10. These cases all look great and I've never seen anything bad about them. Now I just have to sit and wait. (Still waiting for Directron to ship my case!)

Hmmm that case at directron looks pretty sweet... I wish it cam in blue though................. I want to get this chieftech, but I dont want to order from this company, im going to wait and see how everyones experiences are here.

thanks that looks like a nice little mod, however I dont have a dremel/jigsaw or anything like that. and also, all the wiring for the extension cable would not be up my alley.

Ordered two cases, one for a friend since it saved us both 6 bucks, early on the 25th and waiting for the order to be shipped. I think they'll come through but maybe shipped late like alot of other people's have beem. And if it falls through or if it's damaged my credit card will cover it anyway.

 

[sample]

anyone who got this case w/ ps comment on how loud it is? I wanna try to build a quiet system (like is it as quite as a dell?). thanx

 

[fatbaby]

i have this case along with 4 panaflos, a stock intel p4 hsf, and the same exact psu...I can't hear anything over the p4 hsf. It isn't as quiet as a dell 4xxx or 8200, but its pretty close

 

[spamsk8r]

Just got the case in today, and it rocks. Has front USB, 2 thumbscrews to hold the handled side on, 2 clear 80mm fans that are super quiet, holders for like 5 fans, and the black color is awesome. I changed out the stock LEDs already and changed them to red, and I also cut out the little grills covering the fan holes in the front and back. It also has a nice little hard drive cooler setup which is really good for me since my 2 7200 RPM hard drives used to get extremely hot in my old case. All in all, I would say this is a great deal which is still available, so pick it up soon.

And they haven't replied to 2 emails that I've sent them! Wonder if this outfit is connected to EasyBuy2000 in anyway?

[piginspring]

does this case have side blow hole??? thx!

 

[iluvdeal]

I placed my order on 9/23, got confirmation email that same day. From their website, the sales post date is listed as 9-27 on which day they charged my credit card. Expected ship date is listed as 10/2, however the actual shipping date is blank so I'm assuming they didn't ship it today. I see someone got theirs already so hopefully ours will get here soon. I'm pleasantly surprised to hear it has front usb as the pictures don't indicate that.

[guywithoutaclue]

I live 20 min from the owners wherehouse.... who wants me to go down there and kick in his door? its ridiculous how this place doesn't reply to any of my emails or calls... I placed my order on 9/26 and no ship yet... I'll give him 2 more days before I have to break out the @$$ kicking boots

[ClakClak]

Has anyone got there's yet? How long does it take before they delivery it?
Thanks

 

[kly1222]

Damn it, I ordered one on the 30th. Looks like I won't be getting it anytime soon. And I just got all my parts today for my new computer except for the case...and I only 5 minutes away!!! Called them but they refused a local pickup :|

 

[rzrshrp]

Yeah, I was kind of prepared for a crappy shipping time, that's what accounts for most of their low ratings, like 10 days to ship things, ordered on the 26th, expected shipping date was the 2nd but hasn't been shipped yet. Front USB and a hard drive cooler setup sounds cool though, I hope it's shipped soon...

P.S. Spamsk8r: Could you take some pics of your case so we can know what the innards look like and where the usb is placed?

 

[EmPuLSe]

Ordered 2 on 10/1.... Hopefully these boneheads come through!! I'll post here as I get updates.

 

[DizzyonDeals]

I got mine today after ordering 9/25, shipped 9/27, arrived 10/2, but Aiborne Express didn't leave them, but the left them today.

 

[jarsoffart]

I ordered mine today with a 420 watt turbolink PSU. Total including shipping and tax was 76.54. I hope it goes smoothly. This case is far better than my maxtop crud. hahaha

I would definitely do that but right now I don't have a digicam, but I'm working on getting one You can just look at the Antec 1030 or 1040 SOHO cases which are the exact same thing except the Antecs use Antec PSUs and Antec fans. Try here.

BTW: Yes the case does have a side blow hole with an 80mm fan in it.

 

[guywithoutaclue]

Got this email at 10pm 10/3 ... my order was placed on 9/26 (ships in 24-48 hours my @ss):

Freaking bastards charged my CC already too! This deal has quickly turned into what happened to alot of us at EMS.... :| I'm going to leave my negative evaluation for them at ResellerRatings.... If you guys haven't received your order confirmation don't expect it soon... Though they say this is on back order we know that its going to take months for stock to be reshelved... Post your eval and lets hammer these bastards for charging us for no merchandise and bad Customer Service!!!

(Angry) Guy

 

[rzrshrp]

...well that's not good. What's really a bad indicator for the company is that the page still hasn't been updated to show it's OOS so they can continue to charge people's CCs without having a thing to ship.
