2/20 Update: Some unfortunate news to some. Out of stock now, looks like they just wanted to deplete the dwindling last few cases. Mine is in the mail so amen to that, and amen to a steal of a deal.
UPDATE!!!! Even though I paid $10 more yesterday I checked back today and the Kandalf is now $63.20 and the Shark is 55.20!!!! Scorching Hot Deal!
eCost is clearing out their inventory because they are going out of business apparently.\
The Thermaltake Shark (Black, aluminum) is $61 + Shipping (Usually $150+)
The Thermaltake Kandalf (Black, Steel) $71 + Shipping (Usually goes for over $200+.)
Their reseller rating is absolute garbage sporting a 1/10 for the past six months. Their bizrate rating is MUCH better. I bit and paid with a credit card that way I can always dispute if necessary. I've gotten mixed reviews from people I know.
My Order Status:
2/19: Order confirmed via email. Waiting for a ship out notice, I will give it 3 days. Total was $98.01 including ground (3-8 day) shipping if I remember correctly.
2/19 Second Check: Order sent to warehouse.
2/20 12:15AM: ITEM SHIPPED via DHL home (Weight is 47lbs....I feel sorry for the delivery man!!!!) Now the only hope is it arrives as promised an unscathed.For $98 shipped for a $200+ case I think its all good!
Other notes:
I ordered the Kandalf because it has gotten absolutely fantastic reviews across the board at multiple sites. Just google "Thermaltake Kandalf Reviews" and lots will come up. I must say this thing is quite a monster weighing in at 18.6kg for the steel model. The aluminum model unfortunately was not the same low low price, but I'll sacrifice weight for this awesome deal. I pray it works out. If it does I may order another just to eBay!

), I would expect this deal is a go.
