Scan have came down in price a bit with the 831's but not much, ebuyer has the same cases for 79.99 inc VAT and Postage. I bought mine a few weeks ago absolute bargain. The only difference as far as I’m aware is the 831's don’t have the optional 4 Fan mounting kit for the side of the case, or at least mine didn’t!
I think the front of the 832 is different from the 830 & 831 and there are some other cosmetic changes but otherwise they are pretty similar internally. I thought the side mounting fan bracket was compatable with all three, I'm pretty sure I'd seen it as an optional extra for both the 830 and the 831 as well as the 832. I'd spotted the ridiciously low prices for the 831 as well, at first I thought it was a mistake on e-Buyer but its not. I was seriously considering buying an 832 as its a better looking case but with the 831 at nearly half the price I'm having real doubts that the 832 is twice as good.
Yea it says in the manual its an optional extra (the fan kit), I just meant its not included with the case.(it is with the 830/832) For the price and the fact ebuyer are doing free postage on the 831's, it seems crazy not to. I was originally going to for the nVidia special, but i couldn’t miss the special editions 831's at there price.
The 832 has a hole at the bottom to fit a dual radiator. It came whith some wheel feet, not sure if the others do or not Side fan bracket, which I removed. Front metal door, again I removed. I was able to remove the top of my stacker 832 without having to drill out all the rivets. There are 4 screws at the sides, unscrew them, then slide the lid backwards and up, and it pops out No need to take any of the front platic off or such. The lid is a bit of a tight fit, but it does come off easy enough. In which the other cases are rivited.
