the new case

[theminx]

well this is the new case..
i put it together finally last night ..
i got jelous of my wifes new set up ..her case just looked so sexy with the lights ..i felt like i was in the stone age compared to it ..
anyway
..and well ..as i suspected that big tuniq barely fits..i gota get a custom acrylic piece made for the side pannel..which is no biggie i sorta figured it huge blocks everything..

umm thoughts so far..droped my temps for 8c total everywhere for the most part..everything runs much cooler now ..umm when i get the new side pannel made its going to house 3 horizantal fans across the bottom of the case that are blowing out that hot air from the 2 hd 4870 dk 1 gig cards..

pics before i get the new side door...

Re: the new case

Hmm you will be constantly cleaning that, The moment it starts getting even the slightest bit dusty you will notice. Looks pretty cool though, the plain clear fans are definitely the best way to go :)

Re: the new case

ya it is nice so far..i just gota find the right place everywhere so expensive for sucha simple task with this acrylic...
and alex keep in mind its 5 80mm fans..the ones i gotwere fine..but u can buy high power 80mm fans..its no big deal..

Re: the new case

I meant for lowerrpm/lower noise as opposed to actual airflow.

Re: the new case

the best price so far is 60$ with shipping and the gurantee there work..
it ships from texas to nyc so...id rather have the noise and good cooling then no noise and overheat issues..

Re: the new case

You should mod it

Re: the new case

Looks like a real nice case I bet it looks even better in reality.

I agree with alex tho, mod it and fit 120mm fans on, it will look better have better airflow + be quieter.

Re: the new case

Do some PSU wire modding as well to tidy it up :)

Try buying a sleeving kit, it would make cables look cleaner.

Re: the new case

im ordering a piece of acrylic for that...its for the cable management..mother board goes on a new piece as well and whala..all fixed ..and ya know i would mod it but i got no tools and well id rather have it custom made without the headaches and it be perfect when i recieve it, much rather let it be someone elces headache that i pay them for ...lol
also see so now in total it will have 6 case fans... SWEET!!

Re: the new case

Re: the new case

Nope, sorry. Try and get a system whereby you can mount easily accessible fan filters as well, you'll need them!

Re: the new case
