Corsair Carbide Series 500R Case, Black - 99.99 FS

in 4 one - thanks!

Great deal although I really don't need it.

Super deal! I was holding out for a BF deal on the 650D but this makes so much more sense! Thanks op.

I have a hard time to decide between this one (500R) and the 600T. What do you guys think?

Please put black only in the title. I was excited and ready to give TU until I clicked in.

Great deal and perfect timing. I have one question that I can't find an answer for anywhere.
How can I be certain that the motherboard I buy will have the correct socket for the USB 3.0 ports on the front of this case? It is a new kind of socket and on the Newegg page it talk about the case being "future ready" for USB 3.0. Does that mean there are no motherboards that will support this feature at present? Thanks in advance.

The "future ready" is mostly marketing speak. At the time of the case's release, many motherboards still had only USB 2.0. It's just saying that if you buy a new motherboard (with USB 3.0), you can reuse the case instead of buying a new one. There are plenty of motherboards on the market not with onboard USB 3.0 headers. While USB 3.0 is the new, faster, better standard, USB 2.0 is slowly getting phased out.

Whether or not a motherboard has onboard USB 3.0 headers can be found in the spec list. Take this ASUS motherboard for example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pro...6813131730. If you look at the "Details" tab, you'll see under "Internal I/O Connectors" that it states "Onboard USB - 2 x USB 3.0 + 6 x USB 2.0". If you look at the picture, it's the blue connector between the memory slots and power connector.

I was so pumped until I saw that there's no White deal!!!!

Figured it was worth a shot to tell amazon about this lower price, under the white model

Wish it was white

we're on the same page here. It's been a hard time for me to decide between those 2, but turn out i like the classic 600T look more. I guess i'll wait for BFriday. I saw NCIX has this deal back a while ago, and i think the price will drop even lower than this.
