If you are interested in a pretty good Antec SX830 computer case (at least according to the reviews I read). You definitely want to hit Best Buy. According to the circular, the case is $99 with a $20 Best Buy MiR. That's better than most places on-line when you take into account tax & shipping.

However, when I bought the case at my local Best Buy, a manufacturer $20 MiR printed out as well.

Total with tax minus rebates ~$65. That's better than any place that shows up on Pricewatch before shipping.

Note: Both rebates require original UPC. I noticed today that the box the case comes in has 2 UPCs on it.

Here's a link to Best Buy's info on the case.

WOw just in time for me to build a computer. Great find. Not to mention that if you bought anything like that at Fry's it would cost you a lot more considering that there are also two extra case fans included. THANKS!! :)

I just picked this up from BB tonight, but only got the $20 manufacturer's MIR, not the $20 BestBuy rebate. The clerk was clueless about a BB MIR and didn't find anything on their system about it. Also, all I can find on bestbuy.com is the mfg MIR.

Does anyone have the rebate form for the $20 BB MIR or a link to it? I'd love to save another $20 on this case...

Ended up building a beautiful AMD XP 1900+ with this case. It worked perfectly and the case wasn't that noisy at all. I've had noisy cases before running on 5 fans like this one is. Also, it's one of the most easy cases to use in terms of installing the MB and other components. If you're building a new computer I highly recommend it.

Hmm.... I'm going to make a trip to my best buy and check this out today after work... see if they do have both the MiRs...

There is also the 80831 which is the SOHO model:

It is only $10 more, it is the identical case, except the front panel covers the drive bays, and you get 1 more 5 1/4 drive bay instead of a 3 1/2....
