HAPPY NEW YEAR

kul1 off topic but is there any plans for bitfenx to do a nice big case for some serious watercooling but without the need to hack a case to pieces

somthing that could hold a 120.3/120.4 in the top and a 120.2/120.3 in the bottom/front

@Cupra: Yes, there will be something very nice very soon. We aim for the launch at January 20th!

Happy new year!

I just received the case about a hour ago!

Will start taking photos and writing the review today, should hopefully get it posted here by tomorrow night.

Mines here as well but I wont get the chance install everything until the weekend as I've gotta to London on work rubbish for a few days. :mad:

Let's finish round 2 first and maybe I can get support internally for a round 3!

We soon have something new coming up... For this one there will be rounds too!

Well after a long day of setting my pc up the PC isn't turning on now :mad:

Just my luck, and so unfortunately I will be quite late with my review.

take your time and don't rush... there is no deadline to publish it and you should take the time you need to make everything nice and test it.

Well, I thought the problem was my PSU cables, just too much bending and stretching of the wires, however thankfully, that wasn't the problem, in the end the I/O cables for the power and reset switch were labelled the wrong way round, so the power was labelled as reset and the reset I/O was labelled as power and hence why the PC was not switching on at all. Tried this out today as I used separate I/O cables for the power and reset switch and those worked perfectly fine. Thought at first that the cables/switches were just faulty but again thankfully not!

Will have the review done within the next few days

Sounds great... if anything is wrong with the case itself please report to [email protected] !

Nexus18 · 5 Jan 2012 at 03:06

Will do!

Also one of the top USB ports isn't working on the case I received (USB 2.0 connection), I presume that this is just a problem with my sample/batch and not a problem with all cases.

Although it isn't too much of an issue for me personally, as I have another 3 USB ports to use!
