The case sounds sweet - how many bays and fan options does it have?

 

[dealmaker]

damn I think it has full size 4 bays and 2 3 1/2's it is a mid size case. I think 2 fans according to the box

Arrgh - that's a shame. I have too many HDs for that. It would have been great to show off the PCB of the Soyo Dragon+, but then again, I'd have to clean up the cables, so it's trouble saved.

BTW, nice post!

Until next tuesday! Is the Amd or Intel a better deal? I thinking of the 1.6 Deal

That case is sweet. They have one set up at the Sunnyvale Fry's with neon lighting. It looks great. Why's it so cheap? I'd think it be worth more than the $89 that PCClub charges without a sale.

case looks pretty cool... too bad i got myself an antec sx1030.. hmm. all i need is a jigsaw and a window kit, and then im set.. ah. next project.. im just praying everything is in working order..

definately going to stop by the fremont fry's and take a look at it. i need to grab one of those thermaltake passive memory coolers (with the heatsink and heatspreaders)..

then once i get a window, the pc should look tight with the soyo dragon+ black pcb, gainward gf3 red pcb, and the ddr ram with blue heatspreaders.. im am truly happy

I just got this case and it's feel cheaper than the Antec K282 for $49.99
It's not like those expensive aluminum kind of case. It has a side panel fan on it. I don't think it's that great of a case. So I went with the Antec case instead. It's not bad of a price. The combined power for the PS is 173W and not 180W as AMD recommended. It's not AMD recommended PS. It's still a good looking case. It has two USB ports on the bottom of the case. Its color is aluminum color and not the real aluminum case. So be aware that it's not the real aluminum. The front is aluminum color plastic.
Just a few hints for those who wants the case.

I just got back from the Sunnyvale Fry's. Looks like they have 2 models of the Fudin Silver Case. The first model appears to be a steel case painted silver. It's the one that has a fan installed on the side that is selling for the regular price of $69 bucks. I believe a power supply comes with this one.

The second Fudin model appears to be aluminum (although the face plate seems to be plastic/acrylic). This model is the one with the window on the side case that comes with the neon light. This one does NOT come with a power supply. The regular price on this model is $99 bucks. I'm almot 99% sure this model is aluminum. The box/packaging has the words "aluminum case" on it. I also physically compared the two ... the $99 dollar version definitely felt much lighter. I also compared this model with the Lian Li aluminum case next to it ... both seemed to weigh about the same. I don't remember the exact models numbers for these 2 cases, but I do know the second Fudin case had the letters "AL" in the model number.

Although this aluminum Fudin quality was visiably inferior to the Lian Li case next to it, the Fudin AL case was also 50 bucks less. In my opinion, not too bad of a deal. However, I think once this goes on sale, it will be much hotter.

I'll go and have another look today. But the case and R8500 is going back today. I got the Antec K282 instead. I will check the aluminum case more closely, not like I have not yet.
