Artic Cooling T1 Pro Case

You cant change the power supply or reviews make it look like you cant it has good cooling as it uses a different design from other cases
 
The power supply is an OEM 500W unit. I suspect it is no longer a Seasonic as they always stated it was Seasonic previously, but not anymore. They do appear to have addressed many of the earlier issues with cooling by using the new Fan 8 and Fan 12 fans that are very good indeed.

It looks like it's still a bit brittle with 'nasty' plastics, but as long as you're not doing work on the case every week I'm sure it will be fine.
 
Bought one of these last week, I had the original Silentium T1 which died when I pushed the 350w PSU too far, so this was a natural replacement.
Bah humbug to OcUK for sticking it on offer less than a week after I bought it!!! ;)
I'm in the process of writing a small review for it (I was going to wait until I got my DS3, but now it's on offer I feel my hand has been forced) I'll post it up in a little while, photos will follow probably tonight (including one of the PSU).
There are some new issues, which will affect some people, but some other things have been sorted out.
Oh and in the meantime, the DS3 should be fine, but there is a small issue with the Arctic freezer 7 pro because you have to mount it backwards to compliment the air flow of the case, this means it's tricky to get the CPU fan plugged in on some mobos because the wire isn't quite long enough.
However, this can be easily sorted by feeding the wire through under the heatsink, not ideal, but no harm done.
If you have any questions about the case, chuck them my way and I'll answer as best as I can. :)
