yeh ... most drives have it for compatability purposes.

though seeing as your other drive(s) are ide then i would stick with molex to avoid clutter.

Hey Ed,
have you cleaned your fan filter out yet?
i got mine around the same time you got yours but only have 1 additional fan up front.
its a 120mm tricool out of my NSK series case. ive had to rub the mesh down at the front a couple of times but have not had it open since initial install

nice pics btw cant believe no one has modded this case yet its got so much potential and cheap to replace

Blackhawk47 · 15 Jun 2008 at 20:43

i dont think its been modded much yet because thats the whole point of it. doesnt need tinkering . then again it would be nice to see a modded one.

EdGey · 16 Jun 2008 at 03:49

ive cleaned it about 5/6 times now.

i just do it every time i do something inside the pc, which has been a lot recently.

i thought about a side window, but then decided not to due to my very limited experience and lack of money if things were to go wrong at the moment. must admit a matt black finish on the inside would look very good tho.

would be nice if antec stocked a windowed side panel like they do for the antec 900

EdGey · 16 Jun 2008 at 17:04

agreed

the tuniq tower fits nicely

lol i made a fan filter for the side fan out of tights

hi is it not best to have the corsair psu unside down so the fan is taking air out of the case aswell

EdGey · 4 Jul 2008 at 18:02

i did put it that way originally as it seemed most logical, but then i saw some little hooks that lift it up of the bottum of the case (allowing airflow for the fan) so i decided to do that instead. the main reason i decided to change it over was for cable management which i am kinda fussy about.

hents the mod im planning to do in a few weeks.

i know this is nothing to do with your question, but i thought instead of making a new thread...

heres a mock up i did on paint

oforgive the 1337 skills

)

the lil green and blue circles represent small led's that will be hidden behind the hd cage. the random colour'd cables are just so you can see where they all are and the black stuff at the bottom is the akasa sound proof stuff (mostly for looks to be honest).

im new to this, but think its Achievable?

Cable management =

LED's =

Ordered a 300 earlier on today, should be here tomorrow with a bit of luck

Ed how much space you got from the top of the Tuniq tower to the side of the case.
Because i want to fit a different cooler from the TT which has the height of 159mm where the TT is 153mm, would i have enough space to fit it in without it touching the side panel.
Thanks.

it looks like about 2cm from the side pannel. i cant rly measure it accuratly enough to be certain, but to me it looks like 6mm extra would fit ok. either way its going to be very tight.

sunderland · 4 Jul 2008 at 21:41

EdGey so it doesnt add heat leaving it that way then m8 the PSU im on about,mine will be here tomorrow aswell just bought 2 blue 120mm fans for the front to see what it looks like,will put some pictures up when finished

WTF? Have you plugged in BOTH molex AND SATA power connectors? I thaught you should only have ONE

EdGey · 4 Jul 2008 at 22:19

when that pic was taken...yes.

thats why theres a cross on it on the design for the cable management.

Sp00n · 5 Jul 2008 at 16:55

Got it, love it :cool:

sunderland · 5 Jul 2008 at 17:54

my case came today and i put a few blue fans in the front and one on the side and its a good build case for the price you pay,very happy with it,needs a bit cable tidying but has knocked 9deg of my motherboard temp and cpu gone down aswell so very happy

Wayne~ · 5 Jul 2008 at 18:39

Mind posting some pictures up when possible sunderland? Would like to see what it looks like compared to the 900 with same looking fans etc

Slashiem · 5 Jul 2008 at 18:56

We need more people to make other people jealous including me haha.

keep watching that, shows u what it looks like with 2 LED fans

sunderland · 6 Jul 2008 at 10:13

cheers EdGey thats what it looks like duroxis m8,for the price it is a smart piece of kit,cables could have been just that bit longer but even with the top fan on low and the back fan on medium its banging the hot air out,and it really does look the part,you wont be disappointed with one m8
