Hey all,
My review for this will be on the Overclockers webby once the admin clear it. I am very impressed, the build quality is very good and thoughtful. Before in my old case I had to have the X2, normally speaking, on around 40% minimum for idle and much higher for some games. Now, what the temp was for idle is now more or less for in game! Therefore no vacuum cleaner noise.:D At one point two of my cpu cores were in the mid 20's, the highest core temp with all fans set to low and no windows open is 38C and its o/c too. :) Dead chuffed. If you like the look of it, I appreciate not all will, then I wholeheartedly recommend one. Cheap 'n all. PC upgrade complete at last.:D:D

Tell a lie, need a bigger monitor for my X2, 2 raptor hard drives and a bluray player ;)

I'll see what I can do re : pics - never tried before tbh.
My cpu cooler is the arctic freezer pro 7. If I were to o/c the cpu over, I dunno, say about over 3.4 then I'd perhaps consider something like the tuniq or the noctua.
Just done a restart since net is running like a dog atm and of course, video temps have soared, will take a little while to come down again, lol.
 
You not had that problem with the heatsink getting obstructed by the plastic case bits? Will the tuniq or noctua even fit? :p

No, no problems. As I remember it was a tight fit but it wouldn't have mattered if it was even tighter since you can remove the perspex rail which you screw the fixing bolt to for the cards, eg sound and video. Once you have inserted the motherboard tray - which slides in - you can then put the perspex rail in. Nice and easy.
Not sure totally sure if the noctua will fit but I think it would. I'm sure they must have thought about a variety of cpu coolers since its a new case design.
 
i no the asus tower cooler def doesnt slide in but maybe you can get it in after the board is in place and in its normal position
 
Up load pics to photobucket.com the copy the writing with tags like [\img] eitherside of it. Make sure it's set to 15"-17" screen so there not maooossive.
