Black or Silver?

Psymonkee · 10 Apr 2006 at 19:13

Thinking about the idea of changing my V1000 for the PLUS version and can't decide if I should stay with silver or go to black.

Any good reason to choose one of the other?

The black looks kinda cool but I guess scratches would show up more easily...

Help me choose !

Yewen do you have any pics of your case with the PSU compartment divider removed?

Wanna make sure my Tagan will fit

Also is the rear fan meant to blow air in & use the (forgotten technical term here...) metal thingy to guide air onto the CPU HS?

Psymonkee · 10 Apr 2006 at 20:59

are the dividers just screwed in now in stead of rivets?

Psymonkee · 10 Apr 2006 at 21:01

Sounding good already

Now I just have to make sure I don't click to add that Dell WS TFT to my shopping list ;(

Hmm that picture has changed my mind....It appears to be silver inside

Psymonkee · 11 Apr 2006 at 00:51

I know a guy with a black one....maybe some sort of twin tone job

Psymonkee · 12 Apr 2006 at 00:18

Right - got till lunchtime Wednesday to make a decision

Time to choose

Votes seem fairly even ;\

Psymonkee · 12 Apr 2006 at 12:54

argh I dunno what to choose

Gotta order now and got conflicting views from here and from the guys at work

Psymonkee · 12 Apr 2006 at 13:07

It's done.

results to follow

Psymonkee · 12 Apr 2006 at 17:40

Had to be the silver in the end guys - just something about the black put me off

Psymonkee · 12 Apr 2006 at 18:17

/me buys a clothes peg....kippers smell baaaaaad ;(

Yewen what is that fancy bloo glow on the front? some sort of fan controller I assume?

Psymonkee · 12 Apr 2006 at 18:35

Ah I see - new product at OcUK

Not looked into fan controllers since my Chieftec

Psymonkee · 13 Apr 2006 at 21:38

all set now

Unfortunately I forgot to change the fans over so the front fan is a tad noisy

The rest are all running nicely though

//edit:

Actually come to think of it I have a nice Akasa Fan Controller....

Could mod a 5.25 bay cover to fit into maybe?
