Am I wrong in assuming that $510 is a *bit* steep for JUST A CASE??

The_Dude · 12-16-2003, 03:00 PM

cant belive that somebody actually bid on it. what a loser! u can get a better looking and overall better case for half that price easily.

merkerguitars · 12-16-2003, 03:00 PM

OOO it comes with a free mouse....yeah...anyone that is smart wouldn't pay that just for a case....I can't believe it has that many bids on it....

You can sell ANYTHING on Ebay. Chances are someone will buy it.

zhevek · 12-16-2003, 07:39 PM

Alienware, selling leet computer parts to rich fools for many years now... and they even keep selling on Ebay too. Sigh.

LOL! Butt Ugly case for $500?

Whoever bid on it is getting Pwn3d

oberon · 12-16-2003, 07:57 PM

Hahahahaha!!!

So... is THAT where Alienware makes their margins?!

Kaos · 12-16-2003, 08:33 PM

Oh I forgot to mention...last night the bidding was up to $860.

I'm guessing someone sobered up and retracted their bid.

PS. I wasn't looking for an Alienware case. Saw the price and had to see how a case could cost so much.

hypothesis: he got a few friends to drive the price up. only takes one sucker.

Dilbert1234567 · 12-17-2003, 02:37 PM

no you can get some REAL nice cases, paint jobs that belong on porches

i got my case for $200. it is brushed a Al Mg aloy it is a sight to behold (the way the light catches it)

also the motherboard is mounted on a tray that can be slid out to make for easy acces, all thumb screws, seprate rack for the hard drives, etc. it is a masterpeice of a case. well worth the 200.

merkerguitars · 12-18-2003, 07:39 AM

oh on another note....if the person was smart he would blow only $100 on a good case (antec or something similiar) or a little more...but anything over $300 is never worth it and use the rest of the money towards memory.....dumbasses

wraithhibn · 12-18-2003, 10:12 AM

just go buy the raidmax version of this case for $100. same case without the fancy alienware symbols.
