Vertical internal PSU mounting?
With that mounting I can't figure out how the power cable would plug in, and get access to the switch. But more importantly, the PSU would be venting heat into the case.

Unfortunately, it's another mail-in rebate and weird mounting for the PSU.

I bought it when amazon was doing the exact same price and rebate, there's an extension cable inside that goes to the back of the case. it's decent for the low price, might buy it again.

Bought this the last time it was on sale. Quality of the case is on the mid to lower end and air flow is OK at best. However the selling point is that you can fit a full size ATX mobo, full tower cooler, regular size psu, and a beefy graphics card (I have a huge Strix card) into a mATX sized case. I have higher end components that runs cooler by default so temperatures have not been an issue, but that's something you need to consider if you plan on overclocking.

I like this case, and don't regret paying $50 for it.

But it's a cheap case. The manufacturer built it really quickly.

You better be SURE there are no problems with it before you send in that rebate.

Good luck getting the rebate. It asks for a UPC that isn't on the box (my rebate was rejected and I sent everything there was - about 9 UPCs).

No UPC sucks. I'm still on the fence about buying this.

@terribletim and @Raster - Did you buy from Amazon or Newegg and have you tried contacting them ?

pretty sure it would be the 4th bar code on a standard CM label

either yours was covered up by a packing slip or maybe someone removed your label or pilot error.
instructions on the rebate give the matching UPC number and you were advised to keep a photocopy (that usually resolves any issues when calling, they'll even give you a number to fax in the proof)
