    Yeah I forgot to bring this up...

    Took this picture last time I went past...



    What's the deal with using '3XS' on some toss case?

    Only people who know of Scan will know what 3XS is, and aren't going to be fooled... was it that hard for them to come up with some kind of branding?

    The red case we do sell, quite a bit cheaper too, although I aint sure why there using the 3XS name as this case is clearly not labelled as a 3XS case

    I liked that shop better when it was a junk shop run by some scally from the local council estate and matt and scott used to smash the windows through on a weekly basis

    Jesus that case is a rip, over double the price and a less powerful PSU than the good guys at scan.

    Why don't you lawsuit them just for the laugh

    Prices are not to bad either - the only other option is Syren... less said about that the better!
    Dude, how the hell did you manage to drag this thread back up? It's 9 months old!
    That is some extreme thread digging.

    EDIT: On a side note, did that shop manage to stay in business?

    They are still there, I doubt they have an incredible turnover though...

    Yeah, they are still in buissiness, doing quite well from the looks of it!.

    As for how I found the thread, I was bored one night and needed to find a computer shop that was local and not syren (which went bust a few weeks ago - but got bought out again (by the previous owners?!?))
