[ravana]

Gonna check this out locally tonight!

Thanks OP

 

[Corporate Thug]

anyone find one in the bay area?

 

[PClark99]

there was 1 on the shelf in Manalapan NJ for 71.99 but it looked like it had been opened.

 

[isekii]

Wow that is a gorgeous case.

I really like the Airflow of the Antec 900 though

 

[Gabornski]

$71.99 in my excellent compatriot Rapids, MN. Only one left (on the shelf at least) after I got mine.

Well I found one carrying for the clearance price and picked it up! The box looked like it was opened but after taking it home, everything is brand new and sealed. Smoking deal, thanks OP!

 

[imported_Jackyl]

Has a door on it. Why do all these new designed cases have doors? I don't want to be opening a door, everytime I eject and put a CD/DVD in my burner! Where are all the good cases without doors? Otherwise, a good deal for a media center PC, where you want to hide the front.

Confirmed in Bridgewater NJ. Also confirmed other BB would not PM to it.

Picked up two

I think they had another 5-6 in stock after that.

Thanks OP!

Bridgewater is a bit far from me. Bleh.

Secaucus and Paramus has it in stock.
Do I just call them and ask for a price check ?

 

[Throckmorton]

Hmm all the stores around me and around my work have it. I guess I might as well buy it. I'd like a more spacious case with the PSU on the bottom.

I would call. Some may not call. I called they said there was two in stock, went to store and didn't see any on the floor but they were stacked on the upper shelves in back of the computer section.

 

[BigRigDriver]

Anybody in Seattle area went for it???:evil:

 

[ravana]

Went to the Tyson's Corner BB & it was still at $119

Did you guys just call the stores and give the sku for a pricecheck?

I may do it later in the day if I have some time.

Yeah, that's exactly what I did. Said I wanted to check the price of an item and that I had the SKU, she punched it in and said it was $71.99

 

[ravana]

Phone rang for a good 2 mins once I went through the menu before I hung up

 

[Spg]

Went to the Orange (CA) BB and the price was $119. But looking at their computer with stock levels with the guy in the computer section Pasadena is selling them for $71.99. The manager would not match their price saying "they must be reacting to something". At least she was kind of hot, well at least good looking for a manager.

 

[FallenCow]

I've been to the Orange store several times... Where is this hot manager you speak of?! Poor customer service at that location though...

 

[ravana]

I see a sudden increase in geek traffic to the Orange store, asking to see the manager

 

[JameyF]

So, is this a better case than the P182 case that Fry's puts on sale for about $80? It doesn't look to me that it has the extra quieting features of the Antec.

 

[Christobevii3]

The p180 i have and the wiring is horrid and it weighs 10000lbs. Also the fans being right on the case makes the side paneling for quietness pretty much useless. This bestbuy case is a lot better, nearly half the weight, and not death to work in.

If this case had a removable mobo tray and wasn't $100 at mine i'd get it.

 

[MiataPaul]

I just got one at the Middletown NY store, it was 119 but they price matched the Kingston store that had it on sale. The sales girl was SMOKING HOT as well (Pauline). She got the managers approval.

Approval for what? Enquiring minds want to know. Post pics!!!

 

[Midnight Rambler]

The key to the $71.99 price seems to be how many of these cases a particular store has in stock. I was hunting for one and the nice sales gal who helped me checked all of the stores in quite a large area. Stores which listed only 1 or 2 in stock had the $119.99 price while those stores with several in stock had the $71.99 price. Unfortunately, no store less than 100 mi. from me had the low price.

Of course, as always, YMMV ...

 

[markrb38]

I went to the Lebanon, NH store. $120.
Asked them to do a store check and 2 stores came up at $72 (Portsmouth, NH and a store in ME) asked if they would price match and they said no telling me it was probably an open box (yeah all 8 of them). I had already been to the Manchester, NH store and they are $120.
Drove to Concord, NH $81 on the shelf (even though Lebanon showed them at $120) asked if they would price match the $72 and said no problem. I only saw 1 other there.
Used $5 in Best Buy bucks and $67 out the door.
Thanks so much OP.
The girl that helped me was real cute (if not a bit (or way) too young for me). I guess that is the key find a cute (or smoking hot) girl to help you and you get the $72 price.

It appears that some stores now have these marked down further. I got one for $48 today.

I actually looked at these a few days back and thought I don't really need a case that bad, but at this price my mind was able to convince itself that I need a hunk of aluminum sitting around.
