the dilema buy the case for $148 can. or drive all the way across town and get it for $136.99..I walked out of the store when they wouldn't price match.But the thought of the drive all the way across the top of the city makes me think of going back.(I hate giving in)...:(

Unless it's an enjoyable drive (imo none are :P ) then just order it from tigerdirect. ;)

well i dunno bout this case, but if you're lookin for a good one i can personally recomend the AOpen H600B........ its a VERY good case, very spacious, well built (strong, no sharp edges), and assembling is very easy (though the mobo doesnt go in as easy as the rest, its still doable.......

and the PSU that comes with it is more than decent ;)

ow, and its about 95 euros, so thatll be about 90 dollars (assuming everything is a lil cheaper in the states), dunno what it would be in canadian dollars (to lazy to check it out, sry)

If I was buying a new case ( unlikely), this is the one (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-163-015&depa=0) that I'd get.

Full Tower (Silver/Black) more info (http://www.silverstonetek.com/products-tj03.htm)$359)Can$ and this case AOpen H600B http://www.aopen.nl/products/housing/h600-series.htm although nice ,it comes with a PS and doesn,t have the pull out MB tray (really like this option)..I see myself sneeking back to http://www.canadacomputers.com/cases.html#cas although I hate the thought..Maybe this afternoon..:ph34r:

You mean that you're going to let a little thing like bankruptcy stand between you and digital Nirvana?
I thought you were made of sterner stuff....


*sigh*

Well I got the kingwin.Its a wonderful case,no more hardrive hanging from a cable:o ...The slide out tray made MB installation a snap...I'm slowly replacing old componets with new.So its a new PS,new case old board still:( .The only problem I had was hooking up the front USB.I kinda followed this tutorial http://www.overclockers.com/articles865/index.asp..The problem occured because Compaq usb header pinouts are proprietary
,this sucked.I almost gave up and left the front USB disconnected till I put the new board in..But I decided to pull out the old multimeter and use this picture http://www.starmount.co.uk/usb_skta.gif to trace the pinout off the old front USB.IT worked :D Boy those three extra fans (2 in the front 1 in the back keep things cool.The hardrives use to be hot to the touch now there very cool.:cool: Can't wait to start getting into the meat of my new system (new board,cpu,ram and graphics card).Have to do it slowly..Don't want to stress out the wife that much:hug:
