this case made my 1st build extremely easy for a novice,
psu/1000w
cpu noctua NH-D14 18-20c idle u.l.n.a
gigabyte ga z68 xp-ud3
i5 2500k 3.3 ghz
16g hyper kingston genesis

120g ocz vertex 3 /windows ultimate
240g ocz agility 3 /games

Very very nice spec for your first build.

Go to imgur.com and upload the photos from computer, then take the direct link to the image and put it between
brackets...

Close enough :p

Nice build, those front panel buttons remind me of the old motorola RAZR V3 phone keypads!

Worth the price tag then?
 
i think it was worth the price as it meets my requirements,

just a quick question is my cpu cooler facing the wrong way ????
 
Looks like it is, the fans should be blowing to the rear.

You dont have to remove the whole thing, just spin the middle one around and place the one at the rear, at the front firing backwards.
 
oh good idea thanks thats what happens when a novice builds computers !! lol
still at least i fitted cpu correct /now i now why sytem temp is slightly high 34c idle
 
lovely components - but the general appearance could use a little work though - the upside down Noctua, the odd combination of fans, the cable management - but for a first time - very impressive :D
 
yes i agree with comments going to change fans this weekend its all i had indoors / cannot use led fans as there seems to be a problem with clicking when lowering speeds using the fan controller, unless anyone has suggestions.

Nice build with a lovely case, what's the sound insulation like? I know that case has chunky doors.

Personally i'd of got 2 of the same SSD for RAID 0 but still and nice rig.

i was going to get matching ssd was in shop and a very big differance in price but not in spec ,so i went for the cheaper option. sound insulation on idle is as close to silent as you can get i hate pc noise but now im extremely happy with build.

Not necessarily... There are plenty of more expensive cases out there: Check out the XSPC H2 tower or H1 cube (~£375), the Silverstone TJ11 (~£475), the LD PC-V8 (~£420), or pretty much anything from Mountain Mods.

I'm actually quite impressed that they can manufacture it for the price - particularly as it will remain a fairly niche product. Yes it's stamped-out from steel, rather than using laser-cut anodised aluminium like most of the cases above, but still: It's huge, has a fair amount of electronics embedded, and is far more intricate than any of the cases I list above (not always a good thing IMO, but still...).

I wouldn't say it represents particularly poor value, given the competing market.
