PC7s from ocuk

top vent just adds negative pressure anyway, i swear they do it to **** off the owners why bother brining out a PLUS and a PLUS 2 when they could have just fitted 120mm fans alround anyway :confused:

Look forward to seeing it. I'm interested in getting one myself, but i can't seem to draw myself away from the seemingly-better cooling the CM Stacker 832 offers.

seriusly? the cooling in this case id imagine to be quite abit better than the stacker as there is no plastic grills to abstuct the airflow beside the stacker is almost 3 time the price
 
What I find obstructs airflow is the HDD cage, especially when full...

I currently have draw in from the back so that the CPU gets the cold air, a draw in from the front so that the HDDs get cool, and a draw out the side so that the graphics card can cool, and it removes general hot air from the case.

I'm going to redo the fans so that it's in the back out the front soon, and no side fan, and see what it does to temps, it's currently hot, but then my flat is boiling!

The price isn't really a concern, and i thought the grills were metal. However, i'm growing to dislike the Stacker 832 more and more. What other good-looking cases are there which boast superior cooling to the 832? The TJ09 only has a single intake fan at the front, with not option of using 4-in-3 bays to add more like to can with an 832 if you have more than one 5.25" drives. The TJ07 is huge, and doesn't even come with an intake fan (at least i don't think it does, anyway). What are the best cases Lian Li have to offer, in this respect? They all seem to be lacking intake fans in the front, or don't allow much room for improvement in this area.

I'll consider it. Isn't the Mirage the same as the Eclipse, just with a different front? Also, the problem i find with these cases is the fact that you can only have a single fan at the front of the case, which means only part of the motherboard gets airlflow. Isn't the TJ09 better than cases you mentioned above?

I see you have the 'patent cooling kit' thingy there (theside fan). Does the PLUS II version come with that or is it an extra?

Thanks,
Craig.
