And it is beautifull!
Picked it up on the MM for 50quid, I've been wanting one for about 2 years now and I can't believe I have one :)

GEtting in the case was fun, couldn't work out how to get the sidepanel off then it just fell off -.- But the mechanism is very wel thought out and works perfectly. Inside the case is quite big, much bigger than my old tower.

The sidepanel is itching to have a window in there though :D

Haha, yes. I had the same 'problem' when mine showed up... 5 minutes trying to get inside. It is indeed an elegant solution...*recalls cases with one big panel around both sides and top - grrr*.

Awesome aint they? (i was going to buy it, but you beat me to it)

Do this to the window:

:D
 
I'll get some pics up later, going to sort out cable management (got some crazy long sata cables now \o )

For 50quid its a steal tbh, the scratches and dent that were mentioned are basically, not there.

After my bbq + ice cream ill sort it and post pics.

For the window, is it best to mod it myself or play it safe with buying an official?
 
Lovely case - i have the PC-101 which is identical but has a door! It's up for sale now in the MM - would love to keep it for a silent server but don't have the space! :(

Top cases!

Enjoy it! :cool:

For a window side panel what I did was order some custom cut perspex (6mm) and then attach the 4 metal strips that hold the side panel on to the perspex intead.

Very cheap and east and imho great mod.

Enjoy the case it's the best I've owned.

edited to add.... similar case but almost the same. doh

May as well try and mod it yourself if you are thinking about purchasing a pre-made window, if it goes wrong, then just buy the window anyway... if it turns out alright, then you just saved youself £50 on buying a window...

The window i showed you was one i did a few days back, it's a lot easier than it looks, as long as you have a drill, a jigsaw, a file and some sandpaper......

Do the cutting before you buy the perspex, if you find you have mucked it up, then just buy the window, saves wasting money on the perspex :)
 
Ooo cheers for the info.

Sadly the rewiring didnt go to plan last night, I ate too much icecream and fell asleep -.-

May have to wait a bit for the window mod, maybe till my next rig (christmas) for a wc setup aswell :) Make the window worth while then!


Well thought id ebay it.

Wondering on size now :D Its pretty cheap so hey!
