For those that don't know, Mike is great! He even measured the inside of the Antec 902 I bought to make sure my oversized motherboard would properly fit. Cheers again Mike, a pleasure to deal with you and help support the site.

Hi Mike,
I can't find the review for the Silverstone Ensemble EB02-S... I searched the site but I didn't get lucky. Could you point me to it please ?

[thejamppa]

Thanks for everything Mike. I sent payment from X3 Heka CPU after our e-mails. Thank you very much Mike for everything!

hey guys.. quick question.. do u post to Australia?

hey guys.. quick question.. do u post to Australia?

The cost of shipping is usually prohibitive. Sending stuff by ship is sometimes OK cost-wise, but takes forever. For small, light high value things -- like CPUs -- it's doable, but for most other things, I don't recommend it.

I'm looking at the antec h2o for $45. I'm sure u can post it by airmail. I order heaps of stuff from America on eBay.

those are some nice prices, too bad I don't live in the area

[travisco_nabisco]

Are most items still available?

I am looking to build a HTPC and am looking at the cases you have available. I'm in Victoria but know enough people in Van to arrange a pick up or drop off.

Thanks

Black Sunday?

[MikeC]

Black Sunday?

Sure. Or call it... Make Room! Make Room!

[MikeC]

Lots of cases need to be cleared! Help!

[MikeC]

Had to exclude shipping from case prices -- many are too heavy & big, cost nears $100 when shipping across to East coast. Don't have a big volume corporate acc which allows cheaper shipping.

Just a note: have you given a look to eBay's Global Shipping Programme rates? Maybe they can be competitive (I've bought a case in USA on ebay.com last month, I've paid less than 50 USD for end-to-end shipping up to Italy).

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately...

The Global Shipping Program is available to sellers who have a "standard" or above US seller rating with items listed and located in the US. See program details for more information. http://pages.ebay.com/sellerinformation ... m/faq.html

Uhm... leave Vancouver for Niagara Falls?
Sorry, couldn't resist...

[MikeC]

Heatsinks galore added today.

[cullenj76]

Is the Akasa Galileo still available?

[MikeC]

Hey SPCR fans, help yourselves & clear our lab for more reviews! I just listed a bunch new cases for sale at very low prices -- and added some other new stuff AND dropped prices on many other items. REALLY NEED to clear space for more samples coming in!!!

[MikeC]

Refreshed the clearance items, lots of new items added -- at really low prices. We need to make room, too many cases filling up our lab!

[MikeC]

WE REALLY NEED TO MAKE SOME ROOM IN THE LAB!!!!

The biggest space hogs are the cases, which probably represent our #1 area of expertise and the most popular reviews. But we do enough of them that we're swamped for space once again. So here is the deal for anyone in the Vancouver area: Come and pick it up and you can have any of these for CA$. That's a further ~25% savings off the 50% pricing on most of the cases.

This is a limited offer -- it stands till Nov 10/15.

So come on in local SPCR readers!

[CA_Steve]

Don't make him throw in the bamboo steamer!

[Quinnbeast]

Nice. Some good prices there for anyone lucky enough to be in that area. I'd definitely be treating myself to a case and cooler from that lot if I was just a little closer i.e. on the same land mass at least. Arc Mini R2 for $40 is a steal.
