This was posted a few days ago. I purchased one and I think its worth mentioning again for anyone looking for a cheap nice looking case.

here

this is what it looks like with a home--

no psu but the build quality is impressive.
 
and the tray slides out... with your word on the build quality... so long as shipping isn't the price of the case I say it's hot. Who the hell would want a PSU with a <$30 case... I could have used that money spent by the manu on the build quality. I have enough paper weights around!
 
wow, looks like a high end case to me :) heck, it looks like it has better build structure than my antec plusview :)
 
ill take one.


edit: not a gamer, but is there any advantage to having an aluminum case? looks better but...anything else? also how is the airflow in this case with the stock fans...please say :rolleyes:
 
Its my first alluminum case. I've always liked the lili type cases but didnt want to break the bank. This favors some of their products and like i said, it feel real stable. Everything is screwless and is well thougtht out.
 
and anywhere between 10-15 shipped isnt that bad.

--it cost me 42 shipped.

+$11 fedex ground shipping and $2 tax for me, much like newegg.. Looks pretty nice though, possible modder case. Comes with 1 80mm fan. I wouldn't hold my breath on it's quality. Panaflo time.
 
I got one a few weeks ago, nice case. Ordered another cause I like it. Not bad... ;)

I want your monitor :mad:
 
Thanks for the link Pkirk618! :D

Finally someone made a simple sleak case at a low price point. I'm so tired of all these cases with ugly case windows and cheap looking plastic trim everywhere. I've got one question though: Are the sides smoothed down so you don't cut yourself everywhere?

I got one cheap Aluminum case before and it bent like a soda can and I cut myself working on the damn thing all the time because the cheap bastards didn't bother to bend over the corners or sand sharp edges at all. I remember one time I cut my hand and bled all over my motherboard because I didn't notice the cut in time.

Please don't think I'm coward for asking this - I just bleed really easily because Hemophilia runs in my family. I happily don't need blood (Factor VIII) transfusions but it's a bitch once I get cut to get it stop and even small cuts will bleed enough to damage electronics. Blood transmits electricity very well I've discovered. :(
 
The link at the top of the page has several pics of the case, one or more with the side off.
 
Newegg has a similar SkyHawk case (MSR4620) on a one day sale right now for $29.99 + $12.99 FedEx Saver Shipping HERE

Differences seem to be the front cover is ribbed and it doesn't have a mobo tray.

The shipping might make it more attractive for some peeps.

Personally I like the looks of the other one better.

 
FYI, the actual credit for linking this pic goes to someone else on this board. I can't find the name, though I looked. That person is the reason I went with this case.

Ill post a pic or two later of the insides if the ones from the original site are not enough-gotta go to work.

---and it seemed pretty smooth to me. I didnt cut myself nor did I actually look for sharp edges. It seems to be decent quality and if I am not mistaken, this case was once priced over 140 dollars.
 
i googled it and there is a old review of case that can me found here says crazy pc had it for 139 seems like a really good dealLink

also found copon good till 5/18 $3 off

Actually,

The one newegg has listed also has a removeable tray. They are the same case except for the front bezel. I ordered the thread subject case a few weeks ago (actually ordered 3). They are good boxes. The one that Newegg has photos of came instead of the subject boxes. They have the same manufacturer product code on the box they came in.

I have been happy with them. The drive blockouts are a little flimsy in how they attach to the case (i.e. they move around if you aren't careful) but assembly with these cases was a breeze.

3 Skyhawk cases to the right.

The Newegg one looks like it has 3 side panel fan mounts for a total of 5. Might be another difference since the original one has 4 mounts.

Does this case have USB ports that are merely an extension cable that plugs into the backplate, or are they wired so that you can connect them directly to the headers on the mobo?
 
the front does have usb ports and sound ones to boot. However, I was too lazy to hook them to my mobo so I removed it and covered the holes with some badges :D
 
I've always wanted to get this case but i'm to lazy to dremel out that restrictive back exhaust vent :p. But otherwise it looks like a fantastic deal imho, two thumbs up.

Related deal:
If anybody wants a case with slightly better circulation (and only $7 more), check out my thread about the antec slk3000b midtower: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=904896
 
How large of fans can be stuck in the front and back positions? 120's? 90's??

I am looking for a case to stick my watercooling system into for a low observability setup, tired of this case I got with all the blue leds and cold cathodes. What was I thinking :rolleyes:
