How to get dirt cheap 300watt cases

[SuperCyrix]

I know everybody jumped on the last $32 case, but it came with a $20 shipping charge.

But there are alot of 300Watt PS with case(seems like computer geek quality) on ebay.
The key is to limit your search to region closest to you. I found several sellers who were selling 300watt AMD approve cases with PS for around $30.note I said they are selling them at that price, not auctioning them. Some of them have quantities of 200 or so and some of them shows you a price you can purchase directly. I found this one 300 watt case that sales for $29 directly and looked pretty nice. Now if only he respond to my email. Emailed them and asked if I can pick it up locally, some said yes, some didn't respond. But it's worth the effort.

Hey, BTW, the LA area(me area) seems to be a gold mine of these.
As a matter of fact, tomorrow I'm going over to San Gabriel to pick up a 300watt AMD approved case for $29. There's actually one for $24! but it's a tad out of the way for me to drive. Probably be a $2-$3 tax on these, but big deal, beats $20 shipping.

In the future, don't ever post topics like this in the Hot Deals forum. It may be a Hot Deal, but a)Auctions are prohibited b)all non Hot Deals posts go in the "I wanna", "how do i?", etc threads.

Make a note of it.

Actually, I think it's a decent deal. I hadn't thought of that before. Just my 2 cents.

[Hgabriel]

Ok, don't listen to me. I've only read these forums for 1 year. What the hell would I know.

 

[KhunThai]

Yo Hgabriel you dont know it all. It appears after a year you still haven't learned anything. Good Post.!

 

[Rally1]

Hgabriel: I can see where you are coming from. My advice though would be to leave this type of stuff to the moderators. Unless you like to get involved in the flamefests . Just my advice, nothing more.

PM me and I'll send you the address of the one in SG. There are better deals, but $29 is already outstanding.

You know, this really gets to me. I just purchased something like this from a friend's company who manufactor 300watt case combos. He sold it to me at cost which was $35. The next day I find something samilar on ebay for $6 less. ehhh...strange world we live in.

hehehe
i think this is a hot deal.

 

[SemperFi]

I 2nd the hot deal.

I just want to know since when are we allowed to type Ebay. I thought that was a banned word.

 

[turtletaper]

If you buy local, don't you have to pay tax? Also, not many people live in areas that sell chassis on line. One more thing, to ship a 15-20 pound package via UPS cost around 13-14 bucks. You pay more for shipping on a chassis, that's just the way it goes.

I personally found the 400W chassis and bought 3, the shipping only came to like 24 bucks TOTAL. Sold two chassis for 50 a piece (w/power supplies). Got mine for a whopping 14 bucks, SHIPPED

sweet deal

 

[CURLYnoodle]

Hgabriel is suck.

I guess you would remember that, since you have been reading these boards for a year.... but accoring your profile its only been six months....... so i guess you are both a prick and a liar!

Good idea SuperCyrix!

I think it has been about a week or so that you can mention EGay.. still like that better

 

[dude]

ebay

 

[nnnyyy]

ebay

It seems so awkward to say that word!

Good idea SuperCryix. Watch out for sellers who charge a handling fee though! I came across a few who said I could pick it up but would still have to pay a handling fee.

Stop these flame wars also guys. Leave it up to the mods. I am sure most of you can see where Hgabriel was coming from. Usually anything that has to do with ebay is controversial!

Great idea, thanks
