Thank you so much for your patience, and I apologize for all the delays.
Thank you to all those that watched live.. I really appreciate you all sticking with me through all the chaos that spawned from me being "prepared" I did have a blast hanging out with you guys!
A big Thank you to BitFenix for there most generous sponsorship of this contest!
Thank you so much TBCS and BitFenix!
This brings a great happiness to my day. I was about to go buy a new case as I needed one. This just makes my day. I never win anything. Last thing I won was a gatorade contest in 1998 I think it is with the Bulls winning the series 4-2. It was a gatorade bag with like a t-shirt and gatorade mix drink, haha. This so owns that.
Thanks again to both TBCS and BitFenix. This really made my day!
Congrats to the other winners as well.
The case arrived! It's a semi sad moment though.
I've sent an email back explaining the situation. The case is beautiful, but the near paper thin sheet metal lets the entire case down. The case arrived with dents and creases on both panels. The windowed panel pulled and distorted the rear panel do to being attached by the thumbscrews. The paint is also chipping at nearly every corner.
The case was free, so I can't complain, but it is really disappointing to see a case that could have been a knockout let down by thin metal. Had the case been as thick as something like an Antec 300 instead of something like a Xion it would have been incredible.
I'm sitting here with a sadface. But, I'm appreciative for getting anything. Happy/Sad moment all at the same time. Gently going over it with a ball-peen hammer has at least made it so I can get the case door back on. The metal is so thin and malleable that I made the creases and dents less noticeable.
Pics?
Not dead yet
Have the 2 people that won the cables claimed their prizes?
Here are some baseline pictures I took when I still thought I was going to use it as the base for my mod. I went out of my way to try and hide the dents, damage, and creases from view in case I did use the case and / or these pictures.
If you meant for the pictures to be of the damage, I have a few of those. It was hard to get pictures of a black case in this crappy lighting. I didn't mean to come off as whining, if that was the way that it did. I am super appreciative to get anything for free. I just wanted them to know my experience, because if that is the way paying customers could receive their cases it might seriously hurt BitFenix's reputation.
Awesome looking case. Sorry to hear about the dents man.
