Lol, don't generalize. We have plenty of computer stores in my country that have equal services.
But yeah, it would be great to have a local Newegg here.
As for the cases; it comes down to you Oldname.
They're all three solid choices. Compare them and see what you need/want and get that case.
One of the reasons I like scan is because when you go to pick your order up you can see some impressive hardware configurations. I don't regularly get to see how good things looks on a quad SLI GTX 680 rig with 3 monitors set up.
As far as the case choice goes, I'm just looking if I can get anything the same as the NZXT 410 for less than it costs.
What about the Bitfenix Raider? I read, that this case is pretty cool.
If i hadn't bought my Macbook Pro, I would have chosen the Bitfenix Raider with Core i5-3570k, GeForce GTX 670 and watercooling

I haven't seen one yet with a site as well organized as newegg or the many other perks of newegg such as the wide variety of inventory, the strong community reviewing products, video reviews and unboxing on their youtube channel, the extremely thorough product descriptions and specs, pics of every part of the product from different angles that can be zoomed in with uber high resolutions, the list goes on and on and on.
That site for example uses model numbers as the title of each product instead of the product name. You have to read the product description just to figure out which product it is which is horribly tedious.
I actually hadn't noticed that. Maybe British people just have eyes that naturally seek out product names, rather than bold text.
In the event that I decided to purchase an extra 140mm fan for the case (unlikely to happen for several months at least) how would I go about deciding which one was best, except buying all the options, blowing them at a wind meter, while simultaneously monitoring them all with a decibel meter?
Or is it just a question of what colour I like?
On the subject of colour, I have the option of 6 for the NZXT Phantom 410, all priced differently.

There are sites out there that have done that for you.
Of course on newegg you can just look at the noise level and airflow which are both listed in the specs. If you like LEDs then get one with LEDs. The bearing type may give you some idea about the lifespan. Not that it matters that much considering fans tend to have much longer lifespans than the rest of the components in your system, although they do sometimes degrade and get louder over time. Looking at the brand and price is usually a good way to ensure quality/reliability.

High quality design and components but very pricey ($24, about twice the price of a typical 140mm fan).

Azerty, one of the many stores we have is the one I like the most so far.
It has everything I've searched on it so far, is user-friendly and clean, etc. It doesn't review its own products, but it's partnered with
Hardware.info (amazing site) for reviews and indepth information.

Yeah, Scan could definitely be better. It's also weird how they show the Scan code as the title, while clicking it on changes the title to the actual product name.
Also... it seems like 'next-gen' is all about particles.
Just found out i'm an introvert, nice.
You did a test or something?
