Wow, shipping from SVC is expensive...

...but the prices are so good, I'm tempted to order anyway. I think I got free shipping last time I ordered from them, but I can't find a coupon code..

I snagged an Ultra Gladiator case for $29.90 shipped (w/350w power supply) from Outpost.com - the power supply is going in my old case, which will house my brother's system (currently spilling out of a mATX case...due to the Arctic Freezer HSF, neither the case cover nor optical drive will fit..heh). My new case has a window, so I'm thinking about running UV light inside just for kicks..

Some of this stuff I'm getting just because it's cheap - extra thumbscrews and fan grills, etc..the only thing I really need is the HSF for my C2D (I want a better HSF before I overclock more)...but it's just so cheap.. :P


Revised order:

Removed lame fan grills and screws per Emon's recommendation - we'll give my brother plain aluminum ones. :P

Vastech Aluminum Silver Anodized Thumbscrews - 10 Pack - $0.99 x3 = $2.97

Cooler Master 120mm Blue LED Case Fan - OEM 42CFM 22dBA - $3.49 x2 = $6.98

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler for LGA775 - $24.99 x1 = $24.99

Vastech UV Black Sleeving Kit - $2.99 x1 = $2.99

AVC 80 x 20mm 4-Pin PWM Fan w/ LGA775 Bracket 59CFM 46dBA - $0.99 x2 = $1.98

Vastech 18" UV Blue SATA Cable - $0.99 x4 = $3.96

Logisys CLK12UV UV 12" Single Cold Cathode Light Kit - $4.99 x1 = $4.99

SVC Laser Cut 120mm "Turbine" Grill - Jet Black - $0.10 x1 = $0.10

80mm Laser Cut Aluminum Grille - Dragon - $0.25 x1 = $0.25

$11.08 UPS Ground shipping
woot!

Why are you buying lame thumb screws and extremely lame fan grilles? Biohazard? Ugh!

Not to mention all those fan grilles do a poor job of actually blocking fingers from going into the fan while doing a good job of preventing airflow.

The lame thumb screws are for my younger brother...the fan grills are just because they're $0.10..though I suppose I could eliminate them and donate to the server costs instead... :ninja:

Edit: Shipping drops fast when removing many cheap items..hmm. I didn't realize these were 120mm fan grills, thereby being nearly useless to me. I kept one 'Turbine' grill...shipping dropped to $11.08.

Edit 2.0: Revised above post to reflect current cart contents. I'm tempted to get a front-panel LCD temp/fan controller, but I can't justify spending that when I already have one that works fine..
woot!

He had skull thumbscrews on there before.
