I'm looking at the Googlegear IBB226B barebones system and wondering if anyone has any experience with the case they are using:

A picture is worth a thousand words. Get us a pic and we will likely be able to identify it.

I'd have to say the case looks similiar to an older Elan Vital (asus) case... I can't say for sure.. but it does look like it.

Thanks for the help. I've decided to get an ENLIGHT 7237 with 340W PS. newegg had it for $60... wouldn't you know they just sold out in the last hour while I was researching this other stuff. I guess I should have got it yesterday. Oh well, Essential Computer has it for $69 and I've seen good reviews on them recently.

Remember to check with reseller ratings before you buy!

THey do have a good rating but ALWAYS check before you hand over the money cuz that's the last time you might see it!

They have a 6.78, which is not so good (and thier "Overall Product Replacement Service" score is a dismal 1.88). Now, the main score is not horrible, but it's not great either, and the "Overall Product Replacement Service" scores tend to be low (but 1.88 is unacceptable). There were some good and bad comments, and the company responded to some of the comments on the site.

Yes, that rating for GoogleGear is completely unacceptable. I would not gamble with companies that have a rating under 8 overall. And a healthy balance in all the subcategories (with some being more important, such as return likelyhood and replacement) is a factor as well.
