[Pc_Support] Antec Midsize ATX w/120mm fan and 350W ATX 2.0 PS for $39 AR ($69 OtD)

[Bryan J. Smith]

CompUSA.COM had an Antec Midsize ATX with a 120mm outtake fan
and a 350W ATX 2.0 power supply (12V1=10A, 12V2=15A) for $39
after-rebate (AR), $69 out-the-door (OtD).  I bought one and
it's the best steel ATX case deal I've seen in awhile with

It basically cuts 2x 5.25" bays off of the old SX1000 series
(a good 4" lopped off the height, and a little off the depth
too), adds a nice 120mm outtake fan (as well as a 80mm
"intake tube above CPU" on the side) plus the moern ATX 2.0
power supply.

I'm using it for my old Abit BP6 dual-Celeron for now (with
an older ATX 1.0 PS), and the top two (2) of four (4) 5.25"
bays have enough clearance for two (2) long, removable hard
drive bays.  The cooling may not be the ultimate (like a Lian
Li PC-1x000V or Silverstone TJ-06), but it's "good enough,"
and the weight isn't that much over the Antec LanBoy Alumnium
(which costs twice as much without a PS).

CompUSA also has an Antec 500W ATX 2.0 power supply on-sale
for $59 AR.  It has much higher output on the 12V1 (16A I
believe?) and 12V2 (17A I believe?), as well as one SSI WS
(aka PCIe) power 2x3 connector.  Not bad for the price if you
want a true 500W (this one rates at 490W overall) without
stooping to el'chepo brand.
