Newegg has Antec NX Series NX800, Mid Tower E-ATX Gaming Case, Tempered Glass Side Panel, 360 & 280 mm Radiators Support, Built-In LED Controller, 2 x 200 mm ARGB Fans in Front & 1 x 120 mm ARGB Fan in Rear on sale for $54.99 after rebate.
For anyone who dislikes RGB lightings, you can always turn it off via software. In a case of certain brands/fans, you don't even have to connect the RGB wire to turn it on.
It's a pita but if you cross the t's and dot the i's,, and keep good records and copies, in case you have to resubmit when they say they never received the original (not likely), you will eventually get your rebate gift card. I have submitted quite a few.
Buy case.
Immediately printout invoice for rebate.
Rebate denied due to invoice having order number but not invoice number. invoice with invoice number magically shows up 5-10 days after you buy it.
About a month ago I submitted and received a PBR rebate in less than a week. Took a picture of the receipt, texted it to a number, they accepted it and asked for a Venmo account, and I had my money the following day. There's NO reason that we should have to mail physical copies of things around and wait 3-4 months for a rebate. None.
should? there's no reason they have to offer a sale either but it's their way of generating interest and a way for those with the agency to snag a decent deal.
I also bought this case on a previous rebate deal, but haven't had the chance to build with it yet (waiting on a power supply).
I specifically bought this for a budget build for a friend that needed to accommodate an EATX motherboard. I looked at a lot of cases online and this seemed like the best deal, considering the included fans. RGB can be turned off on fans, built in button on the case to change colors. I've poked around the case and overall I am impressed with the quality of it. Didn't find any fit issues or rough edges. My first impression is that I would buy it again.
I'm also concerned about replacing fans if one died. It seems like getting one that works with the RGB system may be difficult/impossible. Perhaps directly through Antec? But that may not be an option 5 years from now. If RGB is that much of a concern though, the reality is that you'll need to spend quite a bit more on a better setup.
You can either have awesome Notcua fans that are quiet and work really well ...
or you can have (A)RGB in them. There are just no good 200mm ARGB fans. They will be loud and annoying.

Antec fans are loud and annoying? They used to be the gold standard before fans cost as much as a budget case.

Which agency do I have to be a member of to get my MIR?
My last case was antec. Now i use cooler master h500 which looks just like this.. Not a fan of cooler master after this build. I used their AIO and fans and case, and im not happy the rbg isnt working properly and their support center is AWFUL

I bet this case is awesome
I was considering getting the H500. It was $80 at Microcenter but I have to drive.

That was my latest newegg rebate adventure.

I've been building systems for >20 years but skipped RGB so I'm clueless in this space.
Also connects to mobo ARGB connectors (not USB). I believe corsair has USB and one board maker has a different pin arrangement but most are 3 pin.
