Most prob will be a +II, I bought 1 just a few weeks ago, site says + but got a +II.

Well, it's arrived.

From the box it doesn't mention being a +II, just a +.

Ah well, I'll find out for sure tomorrow

agw_01 · 24 Dec 2006 at 21:06

CHUDS · 24 Dec 2006 at 21:14

agw_01 · 25 Dec 2006 at 13:56

It's a Plus II

Looks amazing! Pics to come later :cool:

Excellent. As mentioned in an earlier post, it was very likely to be a +II. Glad it turned out to be so. great case isn't it?

agw_01 · 25 Dec 2006 at 20:18

Well, it's finally up and running.

Been working on it since early afternoon but wanted to get it nice and tidy first time round, so out came the soldering iron to lengthen cables.

Got my SuperFlower/Akasa control unit all hooked up with probes on the CPU, graphics and PSU.

It's such a nice case to work with. So much room, nice layout for the cables to run... the perforated front cover is so sexy, especially with a couple of blue cold cathodes behind it.

Just sorting through the pics now...

Right, here's a few pictures... they're a bit crap but you get the idea.

Ok, my webhost is rubbish, so if you click the above link, you'll get an error page. Simply go through the images, from 1.jpg to 8.jpg typing the numbers in manually. Should work then.

edit...

And for the cold cathode haters... here's how it sits (and will for most of the time) in my room...

Not a cold cathode in sight.

I hope you're thoroughly ashamed of yourself

Enjoy.

Merry Christmas.

Very nice, have a v1200B. You just need another 5.25" bezel now

So come on, what've I missed. Why don't you guys like cathodes? Are LED fans ok?

Cheers Mekrel

Where'd I go about getting a bezel from? Do OcUK sell them?

Mekrel · 26 Dec 2006 at 00:34

They certainly do

It's not a "guys" it's a "guy". I don't particularly like cathodes or LED fans or gee-gaws of any sort and I'd no more have them in my own computer than drive a white Cadillac with horns on the front and furry seats, but what do I know? You're the one who has to look at them!

If you like like them, then that's great, I'm only winding you up! My sense of humour obviously isn't what it used to be
