It's also the only time I put a neon light kit in my case (yeah I went through that phase) so, good times and great memories.
Nah, if it’s something that makes you feel happy, I think you got a good deal. 😀 That is a sweet looking case, and I’m a bit jealous. I easily would have paid $100 for it myself.
Phase? Neon lighting isn’t a phase! My main desktop is full of configurable lights... the video card has lights, CPU, case fans, and I have a RGB mechanical keyboard and mouse to match. 😜
I needed to get a new case for one of my older ATX builds, and I broke down and bought a very modern one from BestBuy just today, only because I had rewards points that covered the cost completely. It’s black, and won’t look like a retro PC, but at least the drives will be screwed in and the case will have a cover, 🤣. I’m planning to go through the entire Wing Commander series again, so unretired this old hardware, to get started on WC 1 & 2. I even bought a Sidewinder Pro to plug in to the AWE32 game port.
I’ve been doing a lot of transactions on eBay myself recently, and most of them have been very pleasant. I take the same approach as you where I contact the seller first to see if their price is negotiable. I’ve been able to work out some really great deals with great sellers. Out of 30-40 transactions in the past 30 days, I’ve only had to deal with one jerk seller.
Anyway, nice case. I’m interested in seeing what it looks like once you hook everything up. 😀 Enjoy it!
