Sorta Hot CM 690 with 550 PSU $99AR

[shaggy77]

hi,

Microcenter has a CM690 case with their 550 watt PSU for $139.99 with a $40.00 MIR. Good deal if you live in an area with a MC especially the one in Northern NJ with its UEZ tax of 3.5%.

Linky Here (http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0278910)

Comes with a Real Power Pro 550 W PSU which I do not know how good it is. I am not going to say anything good or bad about the PSU. Worse comes to worse just sell it :)

Real Power Pro unit included. Newegg Link to product (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171025).
80%+ efficiency, sleeved cables, looks pretty solid. UL # is E131875, Googled to be an Acbel Polytech build.

Thanks! Jayp146 for the info and now duly noted.

Not a bad price considering Newegg is 149.99 for the same thing plus shipping and then tax depending where you live. However, the MIR is a status-now rebate so some people might shy away from this deal. The rebate form claims a 6-8 week waiting period. So if you are looking for a new case, this might be something to look into since the CM690 seems to get a positive reaction.

Hi,

No one is interested or just not a deal? Dunno it just seemed like this thread fell through the cracks. It is not a bad deal if you need a new case and PSU.

Definitely a solid deal for anyone interested in a case+PSU.

Not a bad deal, but the RP550 was FAR a couple weeks ago at svc (actually about two months ago I think; time flies!). I've got it sitting right here. And the 690 is anywhere from $15-$30 AR if you're patient. I effectively got this combo for about $40AR after shipping. That might be why there's a lukewarm response.

Still not a bad price for somebody who needs a case + PSU today.

You know now that you said it, it does make a little bit of sense. I know there was a guy who posted a hot deal in regards to some "blemished" cases direct from coolermaster I think for $35 plus shipping. Heck you could probably buy this deal, mail in for the Rebate and sell the PSU for a few bucks and the case would be around 40-50 bucks after said and done. That is what I was thinking about doing but my wife would kill me if I brought home another computer case. I have already done a ton to my rig this year and quite frankly it is a nice rig and should keep me happy for quite some time.
