My rig weighs approximately 200 metric tonnes

Going to place an order for this case soon. Selling off parts of my i7-930 rig as I want something more compact.

Does anyone know if i can install 2x 120mm fans to the front and top as well as the Bitfenix Recon Fan controller. Looking to build one soon and im not sure if all this will fit?

If you fit the fan controller you'll only be able to fit 1 front not sure about the top if you'll still be able to fit 2 fans. I don't think so though.

owww

looks like it'll have to be a 230 in the front then and maybe 2x 120 if i can find out its possible.

seen your build log btw nice stuff! looks beast-like!

cheers for the help anyway

Can you really only fit 1 top fan in if you have something in the drive bay..? That seems like quite an obvious design flaw. If the case was a 1/2" taller you could fit a fan and a disk drive in and just have the fan overlapping the drive a little.

I don't see why you would need another fan in the roof to be honest.

You also have to remember this is a m-itx case.

Can you find another m-itx case that can hold the kind of gear this can? Nevermind the watercooling potential. Also the support for large tower coolers.

I really like this case, it's just gone on offer as well on OC. I need cheap PC to leave at home whilst i'm at Uni as I have to come home every weekend for work

Monkeyspaz5000 · 29 Aug 2012 at 21:40

It's a good case.

The only reason I'll change it in the future is if I want to go SLI/Crossfire.

I did see today, That these cases will soon be available in red and orange! Might have to get all orange coloured me thinks!

Monkeyspaz5000 · 30 Aug 2012 at 18:50

Where did you see?

There were coloured ones at a show a while back but they weren't going to be making production.

Awesome

I quite like the orange one. Not too keen on the red... My favourite is still the white one

esK` · 31 Aug 2012 at 11:05

Yeah the build I am planning is the white one, but I do like the idea of Orange and Red! Also I am keenly awaiting EVGA's new ITX board that promises to be good!
