Deffinatly considering this case love the design of it, should i take the plunge I would get it powder coated inside and add a window.

Well getting mine in the next couple of weeks already priced up powder coating it black inside and adding a window, (i know you can get a cm rdy modded one but dont like how the window goes over the drive bays) I shall also be getting this mod done as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCr23YNU5vw

Do have a question to you owners though is it worth getting another fan in the drive bays say this item? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-229-LL

Apem you have a 230mm fan drawing cold air in from outside and blowing it straight over your hard drive bay. I've found this to be plenty but if you want to fit more there is provision to fit an extra 2 120mm fans on the other side of the hard drive bay which can be used as a push pull setup. Check this link and you will find a picture 3/4 of the way down the page showing this.

yeah i ment just as some extra cooling going over the mobo.

As what i was thinking was adding these to increase the airflow into the case.

you dont need any of that stuff.

just buy an extra 120mm if you really must, and either add it to the floor infront of the psu blowing upwards, or stick it in the pci cooling box to add to the back.

Cool good to know thanks stulid. Does it come with 1 230mm fan the top or 2, if its just 1 is it worth adding a second for exhaust?

stulid · 3 Feb 2011 at 20:03

comes with two top 230mm bad boys.

Apem · 3 Feb 2011 at 20:10

Sounds great and make sure you post some pics when you get it all finished

Its a very good case but found that cable management could have been better. You can easliy fit 1x360 rad roof and a 240 infront of the hhd cage.
