Black Friday 2014 is approaching, and while I don't even think about standing in line at a store any more, there are usually some good deals to be found online.  There's really nothing in particular I'm looking for, but since I'm getting ready to piece together a new PC, maybe I can find some components on sale.

After looking at a bunch of cases, I’ve narrowed it down to the C...
