So just get a cheaper case from somewhere local. So what if it's not your dream case. At least you will have a working PC in an enclosure.

I understand you want the best, but if you can't afford the best, then you need to be able to just make due with what's available.

Also your dad was willing to pay to have the case shipped, which he probably figured was around $100? Maybe since he won't have to spend that extra money now he would be willing to put some of it towards a more local solution. He saves, you save, everyone wins.
 
Not my dads fault. He knew it would be more. Its my bro's fault for telling us the wrong price a few months agi..he said 700 and that was for both but it was really like 1400...so none of us were expecting that. And I checked, Only case that'd fit my gpu is the 600T.
 
And my dad (even Me) Thought it'd be like 300 (Cause my bro needs his source 210 shipped too) But this all wouldnt have happened if my bro in newyork got the price wrong. He's in college, I dont blame him, he needs to focus on school. But I mean...I really need a case >_< IF I HAD KNOWN this was going to happen, i wouldnt have got an H100i. Wuld have got mt 90, and my 152 back and I could have almost got a 760T >_< still happy i got the H100i, cant blame me, no one saw it coming..
 
Not trying to sound like an a-hole or something but how could you not know that shipping something 3/4 the way around the word that is half the size of a washing machine would be outrageously expensive? I once did a build for someone and shipped it from Maryland to Wisconsin and it cost $120 USD. It didn't have to cross any oceans or boarders. Shipping things internationally is NUTS. I mailed two GPUs in one box, no bigger than a text book, to Canada and it cost $60. Again not crossing any oceans.
 
Tinyvoices - I knew it was going to cost so much. We though like 300$ for each one but we never did something like this before so we said..eh maybe 300 total BECAUSE my brother said it was 700 together (Wit the Pc parts but he brought that in a suit case) but he was wrong, it was 1400, which made us think that the cases would be much less.
 
I don't know why he's only trying FedEx he will try FedEx Ground but I will ask him to try different services then again he's in college so he doesn't have much time to keep going to the post office
 
and my dad is going to the US for 9 days for other reasons so I won't be able to ask him about the shipping because he will be busy maybe if he goes to Best Buy he usually will get us something small so I could ask for an AF 140 chances are he won't get it anything this time. you guys need to understand that if I lived in the US I would have had the PC all done by November 8
 
Haha no we are Muslims we don't drink alcohol and we don't go after girls, no girlfriends but of course getting married is Allowed haha! I hope you guys dont hate me now... It's happend before :-(
 
Many religions hold that certain behavior (including drinking and "girl-chasing") are morally inappropriate, yet their practitioners do so anyway. I certainly do not mean to insult your brother, however natural human tendencies and hormones (particularly regarding the girl-chasing) will often defeat artificial constraints. For example, I knew a woman who is a devout Christian, whose stated beliefs were that sex before marriage was wrong, but she also believed she was forgiven for her sins, i.e. if I wanted her, it wouldn't be too difficult. Too bad; what kind of a man would I be to do something with her, knowing she'd be asking forgiveness for it later? She became as safe with me as she might have been in a convent.
 
tiny voices - Yeah man, But im not from saudi :) I have 2 passports. USA and Plaestine

StickG1 - Its all right 😉

Onus - I shouldnt say this but yes he did have a GF once and we found out...I mean, Im dude. Even though my religion says dont have girlfriends (And i dont) and stuff, That cant stop my mental feeling of liking a girl. Lol.
 
again, he could be talking to girls but 100% sure no alchol. We are getting a bit off topic here 😉 My H100i said it'll come on the 13th-25th...WOW...IT ALREADY CAME TO THE UAE but then went to BAHRAIN....wonder why. Its ok ,it should get here in a day or two. Plus, my dad isnt here and its going to his work so I might have to wait or they can send it to out home :) That was fast.
 
I'd rather have the Carbide 540. I was thinking about swapping but we'll see.

But if I get a new case it will be something that can hold more radiators. I can always put a new window on my Fractal. I have a spare side panel in the garage.

Besides the side panel on my PC is off most of the time anyway.
