How are you finding the case?

Up to your expectations?

Yeah quality is excellent, build took a while as my floor was covered with about 500 screws

But the case itself is great, very easy to work with (finally a front panel that can be removed!) plenty of space for all my stuff and even the PSU went straight in no problem.

Fans a bit loud so they are on a controller, is similar to the lanboy for noise and temps.

Not bad, glad it has lived up to expectations, sounds as though the LED fans are a fair bit louder than ADDA black normal ones, still have not got my hands on them though so do not know personally yet!

Your sig needs updating now too

Well finally got everything into my new case.
The Case is beautifully made, changed the two fans to akasa ambers. Would have prefered a removable motherboard tray as had real problems getting my motherboard in! The loudest thing in my case now is my artic cooler which I can definately still hear so I will have to do something about that. No vibrations at all and the wheels are lovely!!! I spent about fifteen minutes just moving it about on the wheels!!! Anyway here is the important bits............pics for you

Standby got to resize them!!!!

Well just put the artic cooler and rear akasa onto a 7volt cable and it is really quiet now!! just need to do the same for the front and the graphics card and bobs your auntie, uncle and cousin!!

You need to fit the PSU duct if your rear fan is being used as a intake, either way it makes it a bit quieter!

Looking nice, although I can not beleive you struggled to fit the motherboard in the case, there is acres of space and not drives to get in your way.

A motherboard tray in this case would not work anyway, 80mm rear fan and no possible blower fan, the v1000+ would cook.

Good idea about the duct....will try that. Motherboard well just had problems with the misus moaning about the amount of time it was taking and i think probably having her standing over me was not helping!!!
