** CASE B-GRADE BARGAINS **

Just went for one of those 750D's. Been tempted for so long and at that price, it would be a crime not to. :D

I bought an STX B-grade and the box was a little tatty, but not smashed up or torn apart. Everything was 'as new' on the inside, like it had been removed for a review and put back. :cool:
 
i got a b grade inwin grone and it was mint except one bay cover was missing and the power switch was dodgy - inwin grone replaced for me free of charge.
 
The 750D arrived. No HDD cages and two optical bay covers missing. The latter has forced me to get a fan controller, which I needed anyway. Have everything else that I need though. :D
 
I got the Lian Li TU100B for £50 confident that it wouldn't be in too bad of a condition after previously buying my main case (PC-Q11) with only a few scuffs and screws missing, but this time I'm a little disappointed to say the least.

The case arrived in a beat up box (I don't care about that 1 bit) and upon opening there were no screws included (again kinda normal for b-stock). But taking it out of its bag, there is a scratch across the optical bezel and 4 screw holes drilled into the front fan grill on the outside... Inside there is a fan (which I'm pretty sure isn't stock as its not Lian Li), its held by 2 of the 4 screws required in its mount (flapping) with scratches all around the front frame and there are screws missing from the motherboard tray that holds it together. It looks as if someone has modded this case to hold the fan on the outside (and I guess a radiator inside). Finally not a single mount for any hard drive is included which is an issue on a case that don't use standard mounts.

I've bought from here plenty before and probably will continue to, but I don't think this really fits into the category of B-stock.

I'm posting here not say don't buy B-stock, but just to mention to those (at east for me) of you still thinking about buying, this time around the discount price does represent the quality of the product. I will be returning this case unfortunately.
