DEAD - COUGAR Solution Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case w/Fan & USB 3.0 $18 FS AC AR ($10) @Newegg

worked for me. personally, i prefer the usb3.0 cable because my motherboard does not have the alternative 19-pin header to connect it to.

Quote from Sultanofdeals : i read on reviews that the usb 3.0 is just a header cable that is pretty much useless and is a big fail

Haha yeah well if you're like me where you have a first gen usb 3.0 card without internal headers, that's actually a plus

and you could always get an adapter [ebay.com] like this for really cheap.

The usb3.0 front cable appears to be a plug in one that routes to the outside back of the case directly to the mobo... it does NOT a ppear to be a 19 pin header cable. That is good for some, not for others. If you don't have usb 3.0 19-pin on your mobo you want to use, then you could actually plug it in a 2.0 port and at least have functionality vs having a dead port.

Of course, you can get an x1 card instead if you don't have it, then you would be able to rock front and rear 3.0, but it isn't that important to me personally.

28 bucks for a decent case shipped... and 18 if you want to do the rebate.... not too shabby really.

touche but then you are paying 26.4% of what you paid for the case just for an adapter

Quote from drbauridel : Can I put my micro atx board in this case? Will it fit? Or do I have to have a micro atx case for it?

Your mobo will fit... will just have a little extra room that's all.

Yes, I am odd. I'll have to try a friends account.

YMMV. code will only work if you received their loyalty coupons email. code is tied to email addresses that actually received the email. otherwise, the rest are out of luck, like me

Read the rebate form. The rebate terms trouble me.
-postmark within 20 days.
-Allow 12-16 weeks for processing.
-After 3 months, we will not be able to answer any non-approved rebate inquiry.

Anyone have experience with Cougar rebate ?

So this is supposed to show up for $18? I see the price as 60 - 25 instant -10 mail in = $25.

I'd like to reiterate this. Lots of people talking about the USB 3.0, but it's more of an extension cable than anything else.

EDIT: Oh, but still a dirt cheap case and definitely not the ugliest I've seen. Good buy on a budget.
