[SGVLUG] fyi - looking for a big black computer case?

[Dan Kegel]

Does sound like a good deal.  I think this is usually $60 with free
shipping at newegg:

I bought the next model down (Antec 200) case, and thought it was the
best made case
I'd tried in a while.  It has enough room for big graphics cards
and multiple drives.
