I purchased a high quality Full ATX computer case from Michel.

brinstar117 was the Buyer on January 25, 2003 AnandTech

Since the case was large and heavy and because we were semi local to one another, we met up about halfway and completed the transaction.

Michel had great communication and when we met, he was kind enough to guide and give me some pointers on the case itself to ensure that its features would satisfy me.

Smooth transaction, quality merchandise, outstanding AnandTech'er!
