Is this case as good as Antec's offerings?

 

[daniel_bourton]

i would say so i would also say that in some places it is better

 

[PishY]

ive had an antec 900, and the Fractal case walks over that, but thats my opinion,

Antec make some good cases, but i now prefer fractal

 

[WatchTower]

I was thinking of getting a Antec P193 Super-Midi Tower. I may wait and see what the bigger cases FD release next year.

I would say it's on par with Antec P18x (each one is better in some aspects than other), better than Solo due being bigger and on absolutely different level than Antec 300/900/1200.

So at a cheaper price it is a better option then

my akasa freedom tower has about 20mm from the side of the case! get some pics up of that monster cooler in the case when u get round to it

No probs just waiting for the cases to go into stock which I know is jan but when in jan

 

[Ace Modder]

ETA is the first week of Jan. Please remember this is an Estimated Time of Arrival

as we all remember the first ones where we had to wait a week but hell was it worth it especially since they are more now or have you done that to put people off until you have stock?

The price changes depending on the exchange rate. I dropped the prices today

I assembled my case last week to find out that one of the supplied case fan does'nt work. You guys at Ocuk tell me to contact Fractal themselves, so I sent them a webnote. Still no response from them, is there a number i could ring?

I need my fan working!!!!

Hi Tankskun

Add me to MSN and I will discuss this with you, and send you a replacement fan.

Looks like a really nice case, im hoping to get a new one soon i may take this one into consideration. Good to know it has plenty of room for GPU's and HDD's

I'm building my new PC tomorrow morning, and I have a couple of quick questions for people who've installed 140 mm fans top and/or bottom.

1. For those who've installed a 140 mm fan at the bottom, did you just clip the fan into the bracket? As far as I can see, there are screw holes for a 120 mm fan in this position, but none for a 140 mm fan (just the clip). Is this correct?

2. For those who've installed one or two fans up top, which orientation would you suggest for the fans? I don't mean intake or exhaust, but in which direction should I point the fan cable, for easiest/cleanest routing?

Thanks!

Yes the 140 just clips into place no need for screws. I've got it so the wires both go to the middle right hand side of the case, if that makes any sense. The cables meet in the middle.

Edit: bottom of the picture is towards the front of the case.
