    There's dicussion and links in the history. Short story is a nice case for and OC/dual card build. But for a more quiet and moderate build I like the Blackbone for $35 with no rebate.

    A good competitor to this is the Cooler Master HAF 912 for $50 -AR$10

    #1 100% agree with you. Highly recommend the Cooler Master HAF 912 for $50.
    However it used to be free shipping . ( now $5.99) So it defeat the benefit of rebate.

    ^
    Begging for thumbs... tisk tisk.

    COOLER MASTER HAF 912:
    nice case, but
    $15 more than the NZXT (very nice case for $40)
    no - top storage compartment
    no - three front panel USB 2.0, one USB 3.0

    Again, so easy to post links to things that cost more.

    Has anybody bought or have direct knowledge of this NZXT case? What do you think of the design, features, construction, price, or anything?

    If the COOLER MASTER HAF 912 was listed here for $50 -AR$10, would we all just start talking about or posting links for other cases on sale for $65, $75, $85... where does it stop.

    Let's go the other direction:

    Thermaltake VM30001W2Z V4 Black Edition Mid Tower Gaming Case
    www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6447916&CatId=1509
    $34.99 AR$10

    Would this be a good deal as a combo?
    www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811154095
    APEX PC-389-C Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817339020
    $18 free shipping

    Total $37.50 &l... [Truncated]

    ^ - While I never said the NZXT case was a bad case, honestly more than acceptable. Though you missed that the C-M HAF was only $10 more and, has a top platform for personal belongings also. While if you would've check the history you'd see we have at that time covered design, features, construction NZXT case that why I said look there! You should work on reading comprehension.

    Yeap, the direction you took was down.
    The Thermaltake is okay, but what's shipping? I'll tell you $14.80... deal gone!

    Then that Apex and a HEC PSU, you are scrapping bottom and only good as they get as you point to Free Shipping. Though if I now today add the two as a combo to the cart Egg wants $16 in shipping, while now we know you must be blind.
    Comparable beats post junk any day! Wink
