Falcon Northwest Tiki Case
https://www.ebay.com/itm/265016106831?hash=item3db430df4f:g:23QAAOSw8ydgAqSe
40 bucks shipped, seller has several, I have gotten two over the last 3 months, they even have a windows 10 COA on them. They will have some scratches on them, but no real case damage.
I picked one up for a travel PC project since I travel across the USA now working on wind turbines. It's not a bad case, inside seems well thought out. I can get two 2.5 inch drives and one 3.5 drive, takes a smaller formfactor power supply but it's isn't special or impossible to get. Lots of upgrade life in these cases. The case is made of thicker metal and painted black, the falcon northwest emblem will light up but I don't have a 3 prong adapter for it yet on the motherboard I am using.
I took the guts out of the Hexx to put this into it to make sure the Hexx didn't get tore up while I travel. My travel laptop only has a ATI 7750 so it wasn't cutting it. I am going to upgrade the Hexx for the at home pc again later on once the chip shortage catches up.
The second case is going to my Middle son. Going to take his guts from the alienware hanger 18 case he is using and drop it into this case, it will be much better for traveling for him.
It's a interesting case if any of you want to get one for cheap and check it out.
I may go ahead and get one more to put up while I can get one cheap. Buying them from northwest they start at 3200, and is a current option.

That's a hell of a deal, don't mind if I do!
I have yet to track down a Hexx, so I need a good case smaller than my Omen one. Thanks for the heads up!

Re: Falcon Northwest Tiki Case
I may order a third be just to put up incase my youngest changes his mind on the oversized case his brother gave him. I can put the Alienware predator 2 case inside it with room to spare.
I still like the case as a travel case but since I have the Alienware 17 R5 I just picked up. It won’t get used much.
I just upgraded the boys pc from the 650ti and 7770 they were using with 680gtx I found a guy selling them for 30 a pop. Still need to upgrade from the 650ti I am using. All these systems are starting to show their age. Hope to get new guts for the Hexx here before long.

Re: Falcon Northwest Tiki Case
Hey, how did yours end up arriving? I saw that the ad mentioned they were used, and the pictured one was rough. I'm kind of frustrated that mine has a dent on the corner between the logo and the buttons. I anticipated cleaning it up a bit, but this is not really even salvageable, the buttons are hanging down too. Kind of disappointing. [url=https://servimg.com/view/19658581/17]

That sucks, I had scratches on mine. But nothing like that.

At least Tikis are plentiful. Mach V's are rare.
