CoolerMaster Stacker 830 Evolution - BLACK

Any chance that overclockers will be stocking that case in Black?? Much preferred over the silver - anyone?

Get the original or 810 stackers, they're better (and cheaper) than the 830's.

QFT. The 830 is a poor value for the money.

I have a 810 stacker, and sadly have to move to a 830 evolution, or a 832, as the 810 cannot fit 230mm PSU's, without having to mount it at the bottom of the case - which is something I am not happy about.

Also, the 830 has a Raptop X mounting bracket at the top, with a see through window, this will look awesome IMO.

Been trying to find a stacker 832, just cannot find one

, imo its a step up from the evo. Heck i would even settle for the nvidia branded one.
After a case with some major airflow to boot.

as the 810 cannot fit 230mm PSU's

So 810's can't take the Enermax Galaxy most probably

well chosing a case is a real pain in the ***

Are you sure the 810 can't fit larger PSU's? It's massive, and deep enough..unless something gets in the way? :confused:

enermax galaxy wont fit into a 830 either, the fan mounting on top of the case is in the way

if you need about 1000w psu, you could get a tagan, as they are normal size

My m8 has a normal stacker, he had to put his galaxy in the bottom psu slot.

The Stacker 810 can't take a Galaxy in the top PSU bay without mods, nor can the standard 830 Stacker. The Evo and 832 can take the Galaxy ok though. Other PSU's to consider are the OCZ 850W GameXstream and the OCZ ProXStream 1000w if you need loads of power in a normal size PSU. I've had a similar problem looking for a case that can take a galaxy and a 120.2 rad without mods...I've decided on a Lian-Li A16B.

Samuri · 27 Feb 2007 at 15:29

Can't choose another PSU cuz I already bought the Enermax Galaxy 1000w :mad:

So then the Evo will take the Galaxy which is good to know - now to see if they come up with a black one or not - I wonder if the evo's side fan holder for optional fans can be removed to become a side window.

Worse comes to worse, the Thermaltake Armour is the other option.

Elric · 28 Feb 2007 at 18:08

Or get a TJ-09, the galaxy easily fits in there.

Ak!ta · 28 Feb 2007 at 18:42

There are places with them in stock - a friend has just got his today... and it looks very nice !!!

Samuri · 1 Mar 2007 at 23:04

Cool, gonna check to see where

Samuri · 2 Mar 2007 at 10:37

Any of you know tho... if I remove the extra fan slots on the side - would that make the side like a window ?

mdjmcnally · 2 Mar 2007 at 10:47

The Fan Tray on the side is just on a removable insert. They do not form the side of the case. You still have a mesh over the side. Ony my 830 if you remove the Fan Tray then you can see the lights but you can't actually see inside the case as you can with a Window.

Samuri · 5 Mar 2007 at 11:45

are you happy with the case mdjmcnally ?

Samuri · 6 Mar 2007 at 12:05

Oh and one more thing.... does it have a pc speaker?? You know, so you can here the mobo beeps n stuff - lately newer cases don't have them, which is a pain in the ***?

squiffy · 6 Mar 2007 at 12:08

Probably not, but you could use a piezo buzzer instead. One was supplied with my A8N CSM

Samuri · 8 Mar 2007 at 18:09

OK well its all too late now, I've gone and bought the silver one :eek:

Hope I made the right decision.

Oh well.

sell your enermax galaxy and buy the corsair 620 like I did, you won't regret it!

The corsair is better value for money and is so much quieter than the enermax!
