New Cases!


Allrighty - it's a bit overdue I think, but we've refreshed our case offerings. As usual, we've chosen with three main precepts in mind: cooling, functionality, and appearance. (Well, and quality too, but we figured that goes without saying.)

Here is our new lineup, available for the Ion and the Fury:

Mid-size towers:
Antec 300
Cooler Master HAF 922
Lian-Li PC-7FW
Antec 902
Cooler Master Scout

Full-size towers:
Cooler Master HAF 932
Antec 1200
Cooler Master ATCS 840
Silverstone Raven RV01
Silverstone TJ09-BW

It is with a heavy heart that we retire the venerable Antec 900 with which we launched our company. With the success of the 902 revision, there's not really any justification for keeping it in production. For the time being, I will have to console myself with the daily interaction I get with my 900-clad primary gaming PC on my desk. Rest in peace, friend...

PS - in order to facilitate case options and to be able to tell you more about the cases themselves, we're breaking them off into their own category on the store. If you want a different case than our default Antec 300, you'll need to add the Fury or Ion to your shopping cart, then click on 'Choose a Case' and add it too. Take a look - we're now able to give you a ton of more information on them...

Price drop!

Greetings! I know I've been quiet on this page for May - blame the economy and the effect it's having on the gaming PC industry. And by 'effect' I mean the Coming of the Apocalypse.

OK, maybe it's not that bad (none of us have actually been consumed by Hellfire) but as luxury goods were one of the first things to get hit hard, most of us in this industry are taking bold steps to stay in the game.

On the plus side, prices have been steadily dropping for months, and now that they are universally as low as they're going to get, now is literally the best time possible to buy a gaming PC. Which brings us to today's topic - new Fury pricing! We're introducing a price drop for the Fury that makes it the best i7 deal in the U.S. today. You can technically find a cheaper i7, but not at the speeds we ship. You can now have a 4GHz i7 for less than $1,600 - and believe me, I never thought I'd be saying that! Happy shopping!
