Just bought one of these Beasts

Scousegit - yeah, left it on the aircooling for now. Doesn't seem to do too badly, but watercooling is always round the corner, so looking forward to seeing what you do with yours. And yes, wheels are a must! :)

Scottmuir424 - You have some pics of your install to share with us?

They are £150. Since they were designed for the SR-2 motherboard, do you need to move some of the motherboard standoffs to install normal ATX boards, but this is not a big deal.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the panels that run along the sides at the front seem to be metal? Also, the bolts are real.

The only real annoyance I found was the 3.5 inch mounting cage. It is almost like the designers put all the 5.25 bays in the front and then thought about where to put hard drives. The cage itself is a bit fiddly to remove, and fitting drives to it not the best design.

Still, that is only a minor gripe on what is an overall great case. Very pleased with mine.

I really like Xigamatek cases, my Utgard is really nice, and so is yours!

Make sure you do proper cable management though, they have the potential to look really clean without modding the case ( mine is a mess inside :( )
 
Nice setup.

Although I am a little confused. Why are you running the pipes outside the case? Surely there is enough room inside for the pump/rez?
 
If I had some spare cash I'd certainly buy one of these as I've got quite a few mod designs I'd love to do on it.

Pricing on window-less models is higher than I thought it might be, or it could be that windowed ones are cheaper than I thought - either way really...

Would love to see a clear side shot of the windowless side panel fitted though ;)
 
running a zalman reserator 1 v2 got me xspc res to fit inside to contain all piping inside so will be updating pics very soon. Started off with a basic watercooling setup and gradually upgrading it as i go along :)
 
i love mine dwarth my stuff.

went from a a had 932 to this and the cooling is 10 times better
getting some of the cables to look tidy is hard tho was it case is so big and holes are quite far away from the mobo

im thinking of watercooling soon tho that will be nice in this case
 
picked up a replacement yesterday, decided on a refund which im still waiting on from the original place.


Everything fitted, just need to spec up the watercooling bits.


I need to get extended cables for my PSU :(
 
Original picture isnt showing and i am curious. What case are we looking at here lol. At first it looked like an 800D but assume its not judging by prices i seen thrown around its about 100 quid cheaper?
