Actually, never heard of them.

But you might be able to get better prices from directron or newegg.

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...ry=1502&DEPA=1
$65 - ok so throw away the AMD app. 300W PSU

http://www.directron.com/dx01bd.html
$53

I like both of these etailers. I've had good experiences with both.

Jet black, and case fans, heh was just about to place order for the newegg one too, saved me around 10 bucks and got the fans
I hear these are good cases, and good cooling so I decided to buy one, hopefully its true

I have one (beige), and it is worth all the hype. Lot's of room, excellent ventilation, and sturdy. Very sweet case. Really heavy tho. Start lifting weights if you want to take it to lan parties.

I ordered some cheap PSU's from them about 6 months ago. Everything came as ordered and I had no problems so it's hard to say how good they are about returns, but IIRC they had a less than stellar rating at resellerratings so take it for what it's worth.
Here is the review I got from resellerratings. http://www.resellerratings.com/cgi-b...one.cgi?Amamax

More than 200 respondents contributed to www.resellerratings.com 's "file" on Monarchcomputer.com. It rates 5.5. Personally, I deal only with etailers that rate 6.0 or higher. If the outfit allows customers to walk-in, it may be smart to do so! Save on the shipping, too!

Ooo, this is a mess... Well, newegg now has this on sale with a 420W PSU for $69, black for $79 w/ 400w PSU. They knew you were coming and put it on their front page .

If you can pull the purchase back from directron, maybe you need to step back and take a good look at all the information flying around. No matter what, you won't be disappointed. It's a great case, I love mine, even tho I paid $110 for it.:

Ah well, I don't really want the power supply, and shipping adds like another 30 or so bucks, plus the wait.
Monarch computers is close by, unforuntely they only have the blue and black, but no biggie so Im going to head over there sometime this week, thanks for all the help

That thing looks just like an Antec SX1040!

I'm a purist.. so what if I pay an extra 40 bux.. Antec is a name you can trust.. and a very decent power supply as well

Dude!.. they changed prices on me. I just got the case from newegg. It is technically a Chemming case, with a CWT420W PSU. THe only thing missing was the case fans. Guess what?! the Antec PP412(?) that comes with the SX1040 is a REBADGED CTW420W!!!!! If you don't believe me, I've posted the pic in another thread. IN the bottom of the PSU label, you can see in fine print CWT420W. I paid $74 + shipping. Newegg carries the actual SX1040 and it costs over $120... Awesome PSU, and dirt cheap (relatively speaking).

Bottom line is if you buy the Antec, you pay for the name only. The SX1040 is not built by Antec at all. They go to one mfgr for the case, and another mfgr for the PSU, stick their labels on it and sell it for like $50 more.
