Brad Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 I thought you guys would like it, lol. It was around $102 a few days ago, so it was nice to see it dropped another $5.
mrn8 Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 It's a good case. I think I paid about $95 shipped each for the two I have running at work. One's a Spam Filter and the other runs a patch update server. The only complaint I have is that the hard drive placement is a little weird.

mrn8 Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 RossMAN said: Would this fit perfectly underneath a Dell 2005FPW widescreen LCD?Yes it would. You can PM me for detail on where to ship the monitor. Edit:The case is solid, so no worries with setting anything on top of it. It's gloss black, but the silver face is a perfect match to the Dell silver.
RossMAN Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 Ooh just need to find the right motherboard/CPU. Would my standard Leadtek A250 Ti4200 fit in this?
mrn8 Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 It should, there's plenty of room for a full sized ATX and PCI cards in there.
Brad Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 Keep in mind that the picture is a little misleading - this case is pretty big for a desktop case. Being that it fits full-size ATX motherboards, full height PCI cards, etc... If you want something for an HTPC, look at the Antec Minuet which is for microATX boards and only fits half-height PCI/AGP cards, which could be a deal-breaker for some.

I'd like easier access to the power button, optical drives and USB/FireWire. Plus this looks wide and long enough to accomodate the footprint of the Dell 2005FPW LCD.

It's a little bigger than the standard Dell desktop cases.
Beau6183 Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 The only complaint I have of this one is that it is a bit deep.... but it's very nice looking!
alm99 Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 Would this thing stick out like a sore thumb as a HTPC?
