And it is about the biggest case available bar a tower! I say he cheated... try it in a Super Lanboy

send me one, ill do it easily

welshtom · 7 May 2006 at 15:00

yea, easily. if you think logically it will easily fit in.

My good mate Matt100 had dual loops in a pc60. much harder than a single in a lanboy.

My new shuttle is about to be watercooled too

do it easily with erm hours and hours of puzzle working out.

i spent a good 3 hours trying to get mine tidy even though theres not much.

I'm thinking of getting a Hyper PSU and some new, less messy IDE cables.

Think that will do the trick?

hiper are the way forward despite the odd person having the "cricket" noise.

Or the odd Yewen have one terribly unstable and its replacement sounding like a jet, then later blowing up killing the system.

Tagan and Seasonic all the way personally, burned 2x out of 2 PSU's from Hiper.

Think I might stick to a 530W modular Tagen then. We'll have to see

Here's an image of the top part of the case between the PSU and the optical:

I've also had a quick go at tidying it up, be gentle

Sod all that monky stuff, get a PC+P...proper power to you and your pc. Can't fault mine and has allowed massive oc'ing as to my others i had

KizZ · 7 May 2006 at 17:30

That PC-7 looks nice and roomy, you should make it tidy a bit more which should improve the airflow a bit. Wow theres a lot of space between the drive and the PSU. Theres only like 2 inches or maybe less space between my Hiper and DVD drive in my Lanboy. Roflmofl :eek:

Yewen · 7 May 2006 at 17:30

I prefer low noise, never heard a quiet one of them and my rig will run on a 350w PSU so I dont really worry to much that my 600w seasonic is being taxed.

Quoted for absolute truth. Seen Hipers go up in smoke and click and all sorts.

Tagans are absolutely amazing for build quality, built 2 systems with them now and they never fail to impress.

Yeah, fair bit of room, it's just akward because I've got an 80mm amber running just above it and I don't want to get the wires caught in the blades.

I'm going to get some round IDEs and cable wraps soon anyway and a modular PSU, so that should make things easier to tidy.

duc999 · 7 May 2006 at 18:02

There seems to be more than a few posts recently about PSU's failing under load or not starting at all :eek:

Mostly to do with the way the rails are performing according to the posters :confused:

Add to that stories about needing mega PSU's to drive Crossfire rigs and i'm holding off buying until theres more info on this !

I had a PSU shortlist of a 700W FSP , 600W Seasonic, Enermax Liberty 600W or a 580W Tagan.

Must resist .....Well until the new Seasonic modular is out anyway

My biggest concern on yours now is the floppy cable reducing airflow. Persoanlly I'd do without but if you insist on a floppy then try to route it under the floppy bay and down the back of the HDD cage. Easilly doable if the cables long enough. Other than that looking a lot better

And just to prove you can quite easily keep a PC7 tidyish

Put the CD-Rom in the lower bay to help with hiding extra cables.

No need to worry about the upper blow hole, totally unneeded for most builds.

It's quite a long case front to back so really cable management isn't hard at all.

Good cable management - shocking amount of dust though! lol!

hehe thankyou and yeah it is a little dusty.. should have seen it when I took it out of the old PC. Least now it shouldn't get worse

another pc7 fan here great case for the price
and big thank you to yewen for surgesting it to me

Is there only 3 Hard Drive spaces? Isnt that a bit poo?

There's 9 HDD spaces, although 1 will be taken by a DVD and another possibly by a Floppy.

MrWhippy · 8 May 2006 at 15:01

lovely aren't they.

i've had mine a while now and very happy with it.
i did find the fan whoosh a tad annoying so i got them running off 5V instead (simply force a molex connector in upside down).
haven't found that to increase system temps at all and the front grill takes longer to get dusty now
