Good looking case!!

I love newegg myself. They seem to beat just about anyone elses prices on the stuff I've ordered.

nice case u getting there Daka.

I agree new egg is awesome. i used them to pretty much order everything for my computer (except the mobo but thats was cuz i found it cheaper somewhere else and new egg was out of stock)

I just got a great deal everywhere else had the LCD monitor i was getting for $500+ new egg had it for $349, well its after a rebate. but thats still cheaper than anywhere else including their rebates. ^ ^

Not too shabby I like the window design!

The fan grilles look nice but will greatly reduce airflow and performace (up to 60%)...but they can be easily removed or replaced with better ones for a few bucks.

I'm suprised they even make 10cm CCFL's I've got a 30cm in the bottom of my case and I'm contemplating putting another 30cm on the top because it's not enough light It's all good anyway...30cm CCFL's are only a few bucks a piece anyway, and it looks like the inverter that yours would come with is the same as mine, so it should have an extra plug in it (most of them do...in fact, I've never seen one that didn't).

The case doesn't come with a PSU It scares me how much some PSUless cases cost these days...you pay $100 for a case you'd kinda expect it to come with a decent PSU. A good PSU (500w or so) will run ya 'bout another $50-75 'round here.

If ya get this case, you'll have to buy a PSU also...and probably more CCFM's, and some new fan grilles. You'll end up spending 'bout $200 on this case if ya get it...or you could find another good one that comes with a PSU for less than half that.

You might want to take a good look around locally. I can show ya some good shops in this area that ya can get really nice cases at really nice prices. One place even has a bunch of the cases that they carry on Xoxide.com and Newegg.com for prices less than the online stores sell...and ya don't have to pay shipping if ya buy locally...and they have a good in-store warranty, plus the case's manufacturers warranty

Very nice case, but not a nice price. I'd keep on shoppin' 'round

Dammit, quit buying commercial stuff and build one!!!!!!

Tim, you should know that i'm 2 lazy to put that kinda work into a case and it is gonna be custom since i getta choose everything

Here's the NEW case i want

The sirens howl in the distance. The large cloud forms on the horizon. You quickly dress into your specially made suit. The war that you have anticipated has begun. OF course this isn't real...you're playing the latest online game on your brand new Xoxide Bio-X case. This case gets its name from the great looking design on the large side window. The large bio-hazard symbol contains a red LED 80mm fan right smack in the middle of it. On the front of this case are four 5.25" bays and two external 3.5" drives. Below the bays are two decorative screen covers that are backlit with multicoler LED's that alternate patterns and colors. Just behind those screens are four HDD bays along with room for two more 80mm fans. Around back offers another place for an optional 80mm fan and also includes a blue LED fan card. Black color retractable stands are also included with this great looking case. The dimensions of this case are 200X412X430mm and also includes front USB and audio jacks. The motherboard tray and drive trays are painted an orangish-red to give a great look when peering into the heart of the machine. Can life get any better? Not on my watch, buster!

That's the Quote from [link=Xoxide]http://www.xoxide.com" style="COLOR: #FFFFCC[/link]
i'd be getting:
450Watt PowerLab PSU
Serial ATA Adapter
3 80MM Fans
and (either a blue, UV, Red, or Green) Cathode Kit
This would come up to $90.95 Total+shipping
am i getting a good deal here?

The biohazard one would be cool if they put in black drive bay doors
