Overture($49) and Minuet($29) at Antec.com

Overture($49) and Minuet($29) and other cases on the second page for pretty good prices

$15.07 shipping for the Minuet kills it for me.

Even with shipping it's still just over half the cost of the improved model (Minuet II) at the major etailers. Nice deal, thanks OP.

Nice Deals, but the overture tends to run warm, not sure about the minuet.

OVerture tends to run huge. I was gonna get it for HTPC cause I wanted 2 3.5 HD spots but it's 19+ " deep ! that's too deep even for a regular desktop PC , let alone a case designed for HTPC apps. What was antec thinking?

If you've got the space, it's a great case design.

Really, the only reason the Overture runs hot is that Antec (for some reason) decided to exhaust the PSU into the case rather than out of it. I've voided my warranty and reversed the fans in the PSU and it made a significant difference.

nice prices on quality cases. Of course these aren't perfect; you won't find the perfect case for cheap.

Thanks for the post. I'm in for one of each.

Thanks OP, NewEgg still has the Overture at 111.99.

I got my case today. I think it is an Overture 1.5 if such a thing exists. The top panel has lots of vent holes for the processor and there is an additional 80mm fan near the hard drive bay. Also the power plug is above the I/o Ports instead of below the 92mm fan. Strange...

Nice case though!

I don't see them. Dead?

 

[bolomite]

they are gone
