I wanted to jump on it so I can start building a comp for my g/f too but then again nah! I kinda think it's fake but oh well...Maybe someone can try it and tell us if they got their rebate or not. :p


BTW: it looks kinda ugly but nothing like good old paint can make it less bright! Also add a few fans on the side panel! Hmm I might jsut get it.

What do you guys/gals think??




Red Viper case. it's FREE after MIR!! (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811117084)

Hmm...I'll have to think about this. If I can swing it, then I'm going to be getting myself one as well...I'm sick and tired of this clear plexi case that I decided would be a good deal at the time...

OH YEAH! Paint it black would be nice for a case...hell that color throws the case off and makes it look ugly. In a nice Viper (the car) Blue or nice and black!!

haha, yeah its always like that with MIR.

I love reading the comments from people who buy pre-mods:


I like this Solid shape aluminum chasis compare to steel. Front LCD Diaply shows CPU fan speed and temperature. Who said only "Gamer" can own COOL GAMING CASE?

Never heard of Eagle Tech. That case was designed by XG... or it could be the other way around. lol

Looking through the rebate form, it says:
Original print out of the manufacture mail in rebate form.
Does the link on Newegg count as being "original"?

WARNING!!!
Just went to XG's webiste (www.xgbox.com) and it says this on the front page (paraphrased):
Attention!
Eagle Tech is illegally manufacturing and distributing products under the XG brand.

This probably means that folks who have already bought one will not be getting their $90 back in 12 weeks.

I am glad that you found this, because I was seriously considering getting it just because it would only cost $16 for shipping.

I was going to buy one too and scrap it for the internal frame.

For those who have already ordered one:
I don't think you will get your $90 rebate back. If it is possible, please cancel your order and notify Newegg of this problem.

If you are in dire need of a free case, keep a look out for Ultra cases at Fry's Electonics (Frys.com). I've seen them sell the Ultra Wizard Mid Tower for free after rebate. I personally haven't bought one, but my friend has. So I'll ask him if he got his rebate back yet. Around the web, I've heard the rebate process goes much faster and without any hitches if you let Ultra take 10% of your rebate check. Which was like $4 in the past for that Ultra case ($40 - $40 mail-in rebate + $40 mail-in rebate x 10%).

Eh, seems too sketchy to me to get into. Shame, looks like a fun pre-mod to mess around with.

My first case was a free Ultra Wizard case, but I got it from Tiger Direct. I got my current case there for $10 after rebate, with a 350W Ultra PSU.

This looks like an interesting little drama.

If you can't canel your odrer and don't get your money talk to Newegg. I'm pretty sure that they are responsible because they are advertising the rebate.

Was I the only one that thought of GI Joe when looking at this case? Dorky I know (but hey I'm a computer forum) but this case just screams COBRA!
