I finally gave in and clicked the add on the top of the main page... the case looks sweet enough that I am honestly interested on some level. (albeit a subconsious one that took its time surfacing)
When I clicked the link though and looked at the cases, no specs were really given. Other than it has 7 expandable slots, a side vent, and a 5 1/2" slot. As cases go thats kinda vaugue. They also only have one picture of it. Is radio shack unaware of the standards in online distribution of such an item or what?

Looks like an aluminium Chieftec Dragon, which is not a bad thing!
I like this little tidbit:
"Reversible hard drive mounts allows for maximum case modification and cable management"
Wish CoolerMaster would pick up on this! That is one of my primary gripes on their cases. I want the cabling to go behind the cage, and be hidden. 1 way drive rails mean that the cables are exposed to the viewing window.
:(
Looks like a good case, I will be very interested in your impressions on it when you take delivery!

Very nice case; if my Cheiftec Dragon had the same features (120mm fans, rotated HD rack 90 degrees) I would have kept it.

Have you been living under a rock for, oh, 20 years or so? :D
About the last time Radio Shack did anything tech-worthy was when the Tandy Sensation was released (486SX @ either 19.66mhz or 29.49mhz, 4mb RAM, 1mb VRAM, 680mb HDD, 8-bit Sounblaster compatible sound, 2400bps modem, 1x CD-rom drive).
Yes, I worked there when it came out, and yes, I still have one.

Where are you getting radio shack? I click it and get Tiger Direct.

Probably an IP read and redirect as deemed apropriate...

Your redirect also gives more versions of the case... truely weird.
EDIT:
http://www.ultraproducts.com/banners/index.php?id=22
Thats the address is sends you through when you click the banner before you get redirected. It also seems to do it on a weird shcedual as 6/7 clicks gave me radio shack.
