RAB P.S. You may or may not want to actually buy from them. We typically use their site to locate the case we want (by mfr. prod. #), and then buy through http://www.buycomp.com BuyComp.com must simply have NO profit margin on these cases because we consistently by BELOW manufacturer's list (ie- less than Antec can - or will - sell them to us for).
