Exptected delivery is 7-21 "business" days... so do they really have it or not? I know it takes around 2-3 weeks for cargo to arrive from the far east so maybe this is a just for pre-order?

I hope you are sitting down. The ONLY place I've seen a price had it listed as $239. I don't know about you guys, but that's a little steep for my wallet.

 

[Thermalrock]

i dont like how it looks.

 

[Mrvile]

I actually like how the G5 looks, but the GB2 looks a bit too Macish for me, if you know what I mean. I like the V1000B I'm getting better.

 

[GnomeCop]

at that price, I'm almost willing to import one of those cool japanese cases instead...
not bad, much better from the old one though

 

[Thermalrock]

the old one didnt really raise the bar all that high tho. this one isnt ugly but doesnt look good either and considering you can get a v1100 or v1200 for that money... i dont know man.

 

[jose]

What ?? Definitely expensive !!!! I think this case is better..

Yeah I have been following this case very closely...Daily trips and several post at TeamChenbro.

At 199.00 dollars which is what a bunch of the guys were kinda guessing the MSRP would be over at TeamChenbro...Seemed extremley high priced for a "mid-tower" case.

I really like the looks and want a black one real bad...But not 259.00 dollars worth of bad...A Lian-Li PC75 USB for less money makes the Gaming Bomb II seem extremely over priced.

I bought the Lian-Li for my newest system and really cannot see how Chenbro's Gaming Bomb II 259.00 price tag is justified.

Shucks a Antec Lan-Boy has just about anything the Chenbro has...Aluminum construction, 120m/m fans...I just read today that they actually have one in stock at the MicroCenter in Dallas Texas...Guess I will make time to run into the MicroCenter here in Houston and give it the once over.

I like the case...But the wait...And now the price just seems ridiculous...And not one single review of the case before MicroCenter is putting the gouge on us seems really stupid.

I was told by one of the online vendors in August that Chenbro was holding them back to raise intrest and the price...Did not want to believe him but seems he was right.

Really dissapointed by Chenbro's marketing of this case...I can only hope that the case actually lives up to the hype...I lost several builds waiting on the GameBomb II...And then had to go back a couple of weeks ago and tell several other clients that the wait was over but that the case would be 259.00 dollars instead of the 199.00 dollars that was projected over at TeamChenbro.

Got so mad about losing clients and money over it that they threated to close the thread about the GameBomb because I was venting about my frustration concerning the case.

I just hope that it does not turn out to be like the Tsunami...Geezzz...What a let down.

Chenbro builds some very good quality cases. I'm still using my Genie, but it's showing its age.
This Chenbro looks like a great replacement. :laugh: Yes, I do like the Macish look.

Wow you're insane to buy this over a Lian Li FULL tower at those prices.....

Wow, I didn't know exactly how much they were. I just looked for them at Chenbro's Dealer linked sites. I couldn't find any there.
But a Froogle seach took me to some. Again... Wow! :shocked:

I like Chenbro cases. But not that much.

Microcenter has the chenbro gaming bomb 2 for $219.
Still slightly expensive, but not near as high of a price as when it was first introduced..
I really like the looks of this case as well as it being light, and no front door.

 

[BigHurt]

new egg has the gaming bomb 2 for $209.
Listed as PC61566, not gaming bomb II or anything.

I would like it better if the the USB, etc.. were located near the power button at the top. Alot of nice cases have those dang USB ports at the bottom. Not great if you have your case on the floor.......

microcenter is now selling the case for $175.99, down from $239 originally

MicroCenter ChenBro Gaming Bomb II

 

[charlietee]

175.99 is more like what this case should go for in my humble opinion.

I just hate getting goughed and 259.00 is like getting the old vaseline with the sand in it for the Gaming Bomb 2.

Now if MicroCenter would just start selling the black one.

 

[TantrumusMaximus]

I was in Microcenter during my lunch yesterday and wanted to get a look at it but they were all in boxes. They had like 10 of them. $239 was the sticker, I'm sure they will honor their web price.

 

[IBJanky]

I won't buy one until it reaches $149.99

I'll wait a year if I have to

 

[TantrumusMaximus]

Since it's an obvious rip off of a G5 case (very similar) I wonder if those handles are made as sturdy as the <Cough cough> Apple case.

less for me
since you can get a really good functional, but not as nice looking case for a LOT less.
