Can forget about this bundle liao. INWin BK644 only got with chassis. The PSU also they took out already. And it is priced at $99 chassis alone.

They really going to that extent seriously....

Then can just buy the chassis and PSU from AIMS Resources (the main distro anyway) just walk to the left exiting Tradepac towards the junction...
