FullTower for ~$75 shipped (screw Onvia)

[kcobra]

Here's a respost of a deal that founds it way into another case deal last week. This is a full tower case, with supposedly AMD approved 300W PS.

I just got this case today. Seems like a good one. Not quite as well constructed (thinner metal) than my In-Winn fulltower, but definately acceptable. Also, a few features lacking, such as it being hard to remove the 3.5 cage. Also, it does not have a top 3.5 mount, like my In-Win does.

Positives though include a fold down mb rack and being able to remove the sides without the top (unlike the In-Win). Seems to have a lot of room for fans, although some custom mounting is required.

Definately worth the $75 and would be a good deal for all those that got screwed by Onvia. Hell, I never really liked Antex cases that much anyways.

I like that case alot. Not a 300w athlon PS, but you can upgrade it for $10 more i believe. Also, if you ask them for the white one it's $5 cheaper. I thought it was a pretty good deal for a decent case especially one with a blowhole.

Nice case.....I ordered one from here for $65 though last week.
Full Tower 300w AMD approved

I have the exact same case. Very sturdy, but also moderately light in weight. Mine came with wheels but I think they stopped doing that. The drive rails are nice, but they are razor sharp. I was installing my iomega 12x =), and I noticed some moisture... I take out my hand and it is covered in blood... =X, so yeah, watch out for the drive rails. The power supply is from Deer, which isn't AMD Approved, but I am running an AMD nonetheless.

ack, one more thing, I got mine for 59.99 on eflay, 20 bucks shipping though..

they are hella crazy cheap at the computer shows i've been in around cali... I picked mine up a while ago with wheels and 300watt for $55 + tax (fairplex pomona show) and my friend picked on up after me for the same price w/ two 80mm fans for the two rear fan cutouts and the wheels! Now thats insane!!!

 

[SleepyRaTT]

oh yeah and my duron @ 1gig and my athlon @ 1gig ran on the power supply just fine........but then again my friend ran a 1gigh t-bird on a 150 watt for a really long time and it was fine too ..... oh well ...

good luck!!!

nice case =)

I've gotta pimp my Superpower Polaris KS-198XP Full Tower case w/ AMD-approved 300w power supply that I picked up from Mwave.com for $75 + shipping. It's a very nice, solid case for the money.

Check it out!

Order it from here for only $54.95 plus shipping. I only live 1 state away and the shipping cost me $11.00. Very nice case for the money.

Are people here crazy? All these cases can't compare to to Antec SX1030! The Antec looks way better (in black) and has more features. And you can get the beige for $85 or the black for $120 (this includes shipping too). Check out Antec's website for specs and you will agree. So no, these are not hot deals, just so-so cases. Don't settle for mediocre cases!

Hey what about the sx830 cases they are great to ... though my sister painted mine b/c i was sick of the beige colour so now i have something different to look at when i am on my computer

 

[vroom1018]

[yz426]

Is the power supply that comes with the case amd approved. Thanks

I have the SuperPower 298XP and would definetely recommend any SuperPower case. They are sooooo much better quality than those nasty APEX cases.
