Do I understand it correctly that the case pictured above is actually $499, and the economy case is the one that retails for $299?

Yep saw that too.

This is noob marketing because it turns people off because individuals are essentially being misled.

"Starting at $299" and showing a picture of the 499$ model. The 299$ model is a shell with nothing. Might as well buy your own server chassis for 80$.


Nobody is being misled, unless you're the kind of sap that goes to the car dealership expecting the fully loaded model for the promo rate...

The ECON is functionally the same as V3.0, where V3.0 has some extra features and comes ready to go.

Most miners already have most if not all of the accessory parts and are looking for an easy conversion from the milk crate they're already running in.

This sap just wanted some clarification on which case was for sale at the $299 price point. I really like the case and was considering it even with the premium to convert my 11 rigs since I'm moving them to a Data Center, but your response/customer service has turned me off. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks

299$ is a bit expensive and didn't help for ROI but is a really nice case.

I also like your S7 / S9 shell ( I visited the website ), best mining setup I saw so far. +1 for that  Grin

Thanks, our focus has been primarily industrial mining and budget password cracking and rendering groups.  A home miner can easily put together a gpu rig frame for less than $100, but when your talking hundreds of gpu rigs you need something a little more organized.

this is one of the sweet cases I got , v2 I believe:



thanks!
