579739 2007-08-12 08:55:00 Well I reckon it would be a good move for shops to sell them, I'm sure quite a few people wouldn't mind pretty decent looking HTPC cases that aren't as expensive as the $500 ones from antec etc Agent_24 (57)
579740 2007-08-12 08:58:00 ;) Trust me I have had that discussion with vendors MANY MANY times, Sometimes it appears that they wont get cases in unless they feel like it. But Hopefully I'll get a reply tomorrow regarding the other case you asked about. wainuitech (129)
579741 2007-08-12 09:36:00 Thats who I have written to ( post above) - What you see on the site is NOT every thing they have :thumbs: You need their price list to get every thing, and thats not available to the general public - resellers only Thats where I got the RRP of $85.00 +gst from

They will give the wholesale pricelist out to just about anybody, Hell, They send it to people who don't want it.

579742 2007-08-12 09:39:00 Thats business then I spose.
But you try and get some suppliers to bring in items that their main suppliers from over seas have on their site - Thats a different story unless you order in bulk.
I know I have tried to get a certain case I wanted 30 of them_ not even interested unless I ordered at least 1000 ( not Protac, another supplier)

I also know MANY suppliers who wont give you any prices unless you are a business. But hey! thats life.:lol:

579743 2007-08-12 09:56:00 And so they shouldn't.

Im not surprised they refused to entertain your notion of getting specific items in they didn't carry.

579744 2007-08-12 10:07:00 thats called supply and demand, are you saying if the items are available and they wont get them in simply because they cant be bothered then they shouldn't. I bet you if I asked for a container load then they would jump at it.

FYI it was foxconn cases, and I actually contacted foxconn and their reply was quite simple- If the suppliers in NZ ordered them they would ship them, even if it was 1 case added to their usual order. The NZ supplier could have ordered them, they just couldn't be bothered. I have had a reply from foxconn stating they will be asking the NZ supplier WHY they wont place an order for items available.

579745 2007-08-12 10:35:00 Wholesalers deal in bulk, I wouldn't expect any devation from their main lines, especially for just a handful of items.

Sure, Nice if they will do that for you but I wouldn't expect it, Hell, half the wholesalers in NZ are knobends. Ive had some bizarre discussions with some.

If zcom are who you are refering to then that goes double.

No wasn't Zcom.

Didn't matter any way, I got other cases from another supplier that did the trick.

579747 2007-08-13 03:28:00 Agent_24 - As advised here is the responce from the importers ( protac)

[Quote] Not really on this model, we will try to get it in next time when we order
another container from them.[End]

So it looks like they will be available - just don't know when.

579748 2007-08-13 08:08:00 Would it be possible to estimate a time you think they might ship? Agent_24 (57)
