Need a case for my flagship rig.

The wavemaster is a very dated design now, why I have one under my bed :D

Great cases, but the stacker seems more suited to him, and he has set his site on trying to split the atom using fans :p

I was talking about the outside of the case

Oops :o

It attracts dust like nothing you've seen

My printer is a bit like that.

Check out more pics of the Wavemaster, you need to set your heart on it dammnit :p

I had a look at it but I thought it was quite ordinary - sorry dude, different tastes and all that :)

If you do get a delta High flow fan, let us know how long it takes you to 7V, iv heard a few people say they dont mind noise (myself included) but 2 minutes later when the blood started dripping from my ears i decided they needed to be put down to 7V :P

LOL

It's all ordered now so hopefully on Tuesday. I'll let you all know and get some piccies.
There will only be the one Delta (I'm not a masochist :p ), the 9 case fans will be Akasa Ambers which will be 7 Volted

I was looking at the Viewsonic VP930, the only thing that puts me off it is the feet on the stand - fugly or what?
I suppose I could disguise them :p

Well, she got here.

Pretty much finished building now, just a couple of little things to sort out before installing OS and software etc. I may leave that until tomorrow as it has been a bit of a trial building this.

The case arrived at 13:00 today and I have just finished building.

Don't believe everything you read; the blurb from Coolermaster says "- Tool-free user-friendliness - Screwless slots".
This is a lie. I've never had so much screwdriver use in a build in my life.

On to the case.
When it arrived, my first words when I saw the size of the box was "Good God". I thought to myself that there must be a lot of padding in the box.
When I opened it I saw that, whilst there was adequate padding, there wasn't as much as I had thought.
THIS IS A MASSIVE CASE :eek:

The case will take 9 case fans but this requires 3 of the 4in3 modules (only one is included), so I only managed to install 7 :( I have no idea if they make much din or not as the Delta on the HS drowns out everything - even thoughts.

Overall impressions are that this is a very nice looking case with many good features such as: 4 front USB ports, front headset & microphone sockets, removable motherboard tray and loads and loads of ventilation - well worth the hassle putting it all together.

I like it :cool:

Here are some pictures. Sensible sized images now since Yewen's concerned about his bandwidth limit :p . I have pictured it next to one of the OcUK Value Estar Benz Cases (what I would call a normal sized case) for comparison.

I will do a review for Yewen's site once I've had a chance to finish the build and have a bit of a play.

Stan :)

Its just lazy, 2 clicks thats all :p

Looking good though

Delta, your a mad man :p

Done it now :p

If it was staying in the bedroom, it wouldn't be a problem (as I said before, if I can sleep on a chopper, I can sleep through anything :D ) but I've decided it's going in the kitchen so I may have to replace it with one of the spare Ambers so it doesn't annoy anyone else - I'll see how much difference it makes to the temps.
