    Antec P180

    Superb case. High quality case internally and externally with a fantastic price from YYT.

    It has so many compartments and neat stuff to it. With regards to the general worry that the PSU goes at the bottom and not all PSU's will reach; i had both a 15quid bog standard PSU and a 55quid Antec PSU and both reached everything perfectly.

    The case is very quiet too and is provided with a proper manual and all the reuiqres screws and stuff.

    This though is not a case for a beginner. I dont think any first time builder could justify all the nice little touches to this case or be able to cope with them.

    Another word of advice, if you are buying this from the shop make sure u either have a car or a friend with you to help carry it with you. It is massive and really heavy!

    Click here to take a look for yourself or to buy it

    Probably £5 just to pick it up in store I would imagine.

    It is such a cool idea - I am going to try and implement it in my house

    "Dad, can you pick us up from school today ?"
    "No problem... £5!"

    "Hey, can you go and collect the Chinese take-away ?"
    "No problem... £5!"

    Sounds great

    Oh

    But one problem

    I would have to say "YES!" everytime, 7 days a week and employ extra paid staff to take over my 'just to do it' duties when I am not around

    My little take on this whole collection fee thing

    You are first and formost in my eyes a shop, a wounderful shop, with shiny things to look at, not a warehouse.

    Play on that, show more pics of the shop in this forum, try and lure people there, offer specail deals on cheap crap we all need that don't cost spit(give free cables like PSU spiltters, sata leads etc) hell throw in a coffee make us feal loved and specail. Last time i went in needing only a HDD, ended up buying a new motherboard, cpu, ram and would of got a case too if it where the right time of the month, people picking things up, are likely to impluse buy too.

    Charging for collect in store via a fee, is pissing people off, look at how dixons do it, with pcworld there is an instore price, and web price. you pay the instore when you collect instore. I hate that, i prefer the idea of a seperate fee on the invoice. But obviously some people don't get that.

    I think people are forgetting, its bloody central london. If you pick this up, you will be paying the congestion charge, or my personal favourate, an addisonlee cab back home (as its normally only &#163;12, cheaper than congestion zone, parking etc).

    Its not a warehouse in somewhere piss poor like 5 miles outside bristol. The costs are much higher, even in your going there too pick up.
