Be very careful of the 6 months no payment thing at Newegg. I did it when I bought my rig, and the "bill-me-later" thing gets really complicated.

Dell's Bill Me Later broke me of that. My first PC was a Dimension 2400 that I got on a preferred account, and they made it seem like I was approved for 0% APR during the no payment period. Turns out they never said I wasn't qualified and I got stuck with 33% interest over that time frame. The PC cost over 2 grand by the time everything was said and done. And even then it shipped with XP and a measly 128mb ram. Bastards. Still, I don't trust any kind of credit scheme. Neweggs looks promising with its "Pay before 6 months", but you know what they say about too good to be true.

Ya, I've been reading over the policy as carefully as I can and as far as I can tell theirs no interest for 6 months and if I can pay it with in that time limit, theirs just a $2 credit fee. Otherwise it turns into a monstrous 21% compounded annually charge. At any rate I have no intentions of buying any thing off of credit until I have a job I can rely on.

As for cases the Lian Li's are indeed shiny but I don't care much for the square flat fronts. A door or mildly bulged front sit much better with me.
