Actually its $12.00 with shipping and handling it comes out to $37.00;)

Well think about it. They may be real BUT they can probably be blow over by a slight wind they are so cheap and the Powersupply will blow up when first turned on ( no joke there either).


Dont get one

I just bought one from a guy on eBay. He has a large number of these things on auction right now I think. Here is the link to the one I bought.

Search for that seller. He has a buy it now price of $13.99 on them plus $20 shipping. I waited for one to end at about 3am and got it for $11.99 plus the shipping. I can tell you my power supply works perfect and the case is a great deal in my opinion. Has a P4 hookup on the power supply, but I promise you that I'll never have a use for it!

Tell me what brand the PS is. You could have yourself and your system at a great risk.

Mine is a DURO switching power supply 400w max. I gave the case to my significant other and gave her my 235w PS and took the 400w for myself. I do like the case I bought, I just liked the one I have now more.

[bushmaster]

how many fans does one need??? I saw this on ebay and was wondering if somebody got creative with an editing program?http://www.ezbpc.com/pics/case/cs-s500-s.jpg http://www.ezbpc.com/pics/case/cs-s500-2-s.jpg

Fully customizable airflow schematic by reversing fans
Installation of up to 13 total fans for ultra-high cooling efficiency
Complies with AMD and Intel System Thermal Solution Design
Fan configuration below:
- 11x 80mm fan, 4 in front, 2 in back, 2 on right side, 2 on left side, 1 on top
- 2x 120mm on the left panel
(Case comes with 1 pre-installed 80mm fan on the back, others fans are optional)

3D Air Vent, Best ventilation design in PC Case:
Special 3D outer air vent cuts for high dust prevention
Reduced noise over regular "cut open" air vent (no grills needed)

Thats insane. It would be so load. Once you have that many fans you are just pusing Hot air around. Mine as well get a water cooling case.

Hey somebody will come along and say "wow man that looks cool"
maybe it's not really a case but rather a convection oven.
Maybe an incubator for chicken eggs.
Maybe all the fans are pointed inwards and when ya power it up the flimsy little case swells up on ya?
Betcha it'll work great for blowing up that inflatable king size bed for when guests stay over. :D

That sounds fantastic, all of those added features, but one must beware when purchasing added features, if one thing breaks then you are taking it upon yourself to deal with guests that will have to manually inflate their own bed. " I hate it when dat happens"! LOL, good one Bush! :x Originally posted by bushmaster
