Nope! No AGP slot. The description mentions 1 AGP and 1 PCI port, but that is a mistake. Look at the pictures for this case. No agp slot.

nm.

 

[picardal]

still a good deal, ordered one!
thx

The P4 mini, aluminum with a window, looks nice for $130 $140. That is about 1/2 the going price. It has a 220W PSU and an AGP slot. Too bad the AMD ones not only lack the AGP slot, but they only have a 150W power supply.

I noticed that also, ordered (2) of the $129 ones

BTW, the $129 P4 one has a 220W PS, not a 150W.

OMG this thread rocks!

I ordered a CF-2529 and it rocks!
It even has two blue leds behind the front panel which lits up both sides of the case very nicely.

Such a good case for $26 shipped.

Went back to order some more but all gone.

boooo. OOS =(

ok, i am so tempted to get on this deal to setup a HTPC.

Heres what i thought it would end up costing me:

~$129 for this box
~$100 for a decent Celeron Processor
~$50 for a Video Card
~$50 for decent memory
~$30 for Hard Drive
~$25 for DVD-Drive
~$20 for cheap wireless keyboard/mouse
TOTAL: ~$400 + tax for a HTPC.

I think i will get on this deal next time, right now, i gotta save some money for that rumored PS2 for $99 sometime in November.

 

[Dimitri]

Er, the barebones just jumped up ~$60. :disgust:

got my 35 dollar computer case and the thing looks sweet. one thing i'm kind of worried about is that the power supplies have no badge on them. can we just trust newegg that they have these delta power supplies that they show online? pretty shady but my computer works when i turned it on. good enough for me i guess.

nice case. good deal.

 

[mindless1]

All the Delta power supplies I've ever seen had the "Delta" logo silkscreened on the PCB.

It would be beneficial if someone opened their power supply, took some good pics... I can host them if necessary, PM me.

 

[burkemulisha]

Here are the pics of mine, the first three are the case, the last is the pic of the delta PS that came with it

Got my 2 today. Helluva deal for 50 bucks delivered. They have blue CCF in the bezel. Looks cool.

 

[burkemulisha]

The label is on the top of the PSU. Pull the PSU out and you will see it.

I received both of mine today. These are great cases. Built and designed solidly. They are heavy too. No flimsy sides here. The only things that kinda bothered me is that two of the side panel screws and two of the MB brass mounting posts came unscrewed. The manufacturer could have paid more attention to this detail. The PSU wires are very thin. I would have expected thicker wire from a Delta branded PSU.

Newegg came through on this deal.

 

[burkemulisha]

yeah, the pic of the label is in my above post in pic4

 

[Lanyap]

Blah... Bad news for me. I ordered two cases, CF-5929 and CF-6029. The 6029 was damaged. The bottom right corner of the plastic front bezel had two big cracks eminating from the screw hole. It appears to have been damaged during transit either from the manufacturer to Newegg or Newegg to me. The box in that area did not appear to be damaged but somebody either dropped it or placed something heavy on that corner of the box. I'm not sure what I want to do. I don't want to eat the shipping cost back to Newegg on a RMA. I wonder if I could get a replacement bezel?

Also, as a Warning, three short MB mounting posts are screwed into the MB plate. Two out of the three in one case and one out of the three in the other case came loose. You need these three posts because they screw into mounting holes with nipples. The other mounting holes do not have nipples. Those posts are a little longer and they are in the bag full of screws. If you don't know this up front you could easily misplace them and have a problem when you install your MB. Blah. The manufacturer sure did a lousy job of installing the screws.

Bottom line. When you receive your case be sure you inspect it very carefully and make sure it is not damaged and you have all the screws and stuff. I was not ready to use these cases but it's a good thing I checked all of this stuff out.

I still think these are great cases and Newegg gave us a great deal. The manufacturer needs a little better quality control and should pack them better.

I also got mine today. Extremely nice for the money! I don't know what these other folks are grousing about! What do they expect for $30., Antec grade boxes? The thing weighs 23 pounds net! Heavy. The PSU is Delta - I looked in on the PCB and the way they mount the PSU, the label ends up on top. And the PSU bay is huge - an industrial strength redundant PSU could fit in there easy. And with 11 drive bays, this could make one nice entry to mid-level server box!
. The wires are labeled 20AWG except for the ones to the small drive connectors, which are 22AWG - all perfectly fine size, the same as on my Sparkle/Fortron. All of my little mobo posts were loose too and one was floating, and I thought I was missing my screw pack but it had migrated up between the PSU and the top of the case. It would be nice if they had taped that and the power cord down, but what the hey. All of my thumbscrews were loose as well, but then I shouldn't even expect thumbscrews at this price... Nor did I really expect to find the case fan in there. Too much!
. All in all, a very fine and great looking case for $30. shipped (model 5929). So far all of my order has arrived in fine shape, knock wood. One parcel yet to come tomorrow. I say this was a righteous DEAL! Thanks NE and AT.
. If this was a ploy to get a bunch of tech savvy people to try these cases and then talk 'em up, then I think it worked, in my case anyway.

:moon:

Note: I have two small quibbles. 1- There is only one floppy power connector and I need two. 2- The way the PSU comes mounted, none of the large drive power connectors can reach a hard drive down in the bottom bay - I had to use and extension to reach. Other than that, splendiferous! .bh.

hey guys, i was wondering for those who got it-what do you think about the cooling? can you tell me what there is? i see that there are 2 fans in the back. what size are they? does newegg include any? is there any cooling in the front?

 

[Pothead]

comes with one exhaust fan. You can fit a 120mm fan in the front, I think, however, there is no real place to bring in cooler air except on the front bottom side of the case

 

[tlechaos]

Looks like the one person that bought $1000 something dollars worth of stuff wiped them out. They are totally out of stock for the two midtower cases. I guess I'll just have to keep on checking back.

 

[Pothead]

let's check eb@y!

 

[Zepper]

Cooling = 2x80mm in back one of any size up to 120mm in front. Plenty of room in back to carve out a 120mm hole if you want. One 80mm is included.
Tip: If you take the mounting plate off of the PSU (and forget to mark it like me), the notches in the corners go up. With that plate, you can mount your PSU in whatever orientation suits you.
. I'll be moving my system's guts into the new case shortly... Bye, bye old Enlight 7227 tank, good knowin' ya. Gonna Chyang Fun tonight...

Newegg now has the GMC cases... the NEO Classic is pretty nice... unfortunately the version Newegg got has been stripped down a bit, so it doesn't come with the clamshell and some other goodies..
