According to the guy over in this thread, this should be plenty to run the latest processors, it should work (i hope).

edit: doh! I think this deal might be dead, i can't find that 20 off 50 code anywhere.

a Very nice case! .. i knew antec made good cases, but this little beauty packs a bunch of style points as well as convinences

1. drive rails,
2. strong steel
3. beautful and sleek finish on top and side panel
4. safety locks on the back, makes this case server compatible

*wish
.. a 120m fan cage.. hehe

I bought one for $60 at fry's, but this is steal at $48..

thx

The Antec SL300 PSU included with this case sells for about $45 shipped by itself. It has a 3-year warranty and Antec has a pretty good reputation for getting stuff handled if you have a problem (I had to RMA my Datachute PCI to them, got a NIB unit in return).

The SL300 has 220 watts available on the 3.3V + 5V combined lines. This is really good, more than most generic-brand 400W-450W units... an honest 300W unit and then some. I would use it on mid-line AthlonXP systems, but if you're planning to max your rig out with two hard drives, two optical drives, two or three DIMMs, an XP2200+ or higher, and a power-hogging Radeon 9700 Pro, then get yourself a TruePower 430 or an SL400 for some reserve power

When?! do you still have the ad?

Even better deal exists if you pricematch www.intel-shop.com where they are selling it for $53, then use the coupon. My total including shipping and taxes was $43 and change. Beats the $70 in best buy B&M

The $20 off $50 is dead so I bought one and did the ole Turbotax 2002 Basic ($19.95) + Quicken 2003 Basic (Free after MIR) + Norton Antivirus 2003 (Free after 2 MIR's) and used a $30 off $150 coupon.

I might have to try my first price match at Staples, I assume I can still try the pricematch after the order was made?

Is this the case that was at SVC for 19.99 + shipping? If so it is a very nice case I am going to use it in the next week or so to build my cousin's computer BTW the total for me on the SVC was around $42.

 

[MSantiago]

The case at SVC was the SLK1600. It's around the same size, but it's not AMB (Antec Metallic Bronze) and doesn't have the swing out door that covers the drive bays. The power supplies should be identical though. Can't go wrong with either case.

I know it's OT, but how in the world do you guys get Staples to price match something like this? It says right in their price match policy that you need to take into consideration overnight shipping cost and coupons. Do you just call and hope the CSR doesn't know the details of the price match policy or what?

 

[whootang12]

I just called staples and they pricematched it with no problems, didn't factor in shipping at all. I used a $15 off coupon which i didn't have a code for, but they took it with no questions.

[vacancy]

I think you're looking at the Plus660AMG, not the SLK2600AMB.

I got in on this last week. A friend of mine has a 1080AMG that I did a mod on receintly. Just a quick brag to show a mod I did.

Staples just called me and told me that they cancelled by order because it's on backorder. Suck!! Did anyone else get their orders cancelled on them?

I realize the coupon may be dead but I was able to PM to Microcenter's website for $55.99 (as we have one locally in town to pick up)
