The site you got it from seems to be blocked by the forums. Try hosting it on imageshack.us or the like. Chances are its a competitor or site that has lots of ads.

It looked 'ok' until i saw the iCute logo

It certainly stands out. Looks quite similar to the Aerocool Aeroengine, but the fan is higher up, it looks better low down like on the Aerocool. Drive bay covers are quite nice, would be better in black though.
I hate the case window..... If I have a case window I want to be able to see through it, not have my view obscured by 2 great big fans with tubing coming off of them. PLus the fan cover is yuck.

Some nice ideas but not anywhere near as good as it could have been.

It looks like an oversized Christmas cracker toy!

turbotoaster · 18 Apr 2006 at 15:37

ya could modify it though, paint drive covers black, bolt the fans inside, would look a lot better

JonnyGLC · 18 Apr 2006 at 15:39

Yuck.

It seems all the tacky case manufacturers are jumping on the big fan bandwagon now

*Has an Aerocool

Yeh it looks identicle to the fan on my case, seems to be quite nice and not too loud.

I really do not see why there is this trend in the non lan gaming case market at the moment, for cooling a Eclipse or Stacker will blow a 40040450404040mm fan away, everytime, at less noise.

What happens if one of these fans fails :confused:

The companies have no customer service, they are not ATX conforming parts so direct replacements are not available.

Doubt you will see any of these cases in 5 years time looking new.

lmao

Especially the new stacker with room for 349848384 fans

Best way to improve the looks of that case is to set it on fire and run over it with a car!!

Yewen · 18 Apr 2006 at 16:04

Just got up after 15 hours sleep so mashed the numpad instead of finding out if it was 140mm or 160mm, but its probably 162mm so that 160mm industrial fans wont work knowing Icute.

They think of everything them; oh its bust, buy a new one.

Have you actually seen one in action? What's the noise from the thing like

Yewen · 18 Apr 2006 at 16:15

I wan't to know if it pushes any air

james.miller · 18 Apr 2006 at 16:15

no i haven't sadly. ive had a poke around one though, it's the sort of case you buy from a computer fair for £15 lol

I can imagine a company like that not understanding the concept of a larger fan, and just making it spin at silly speeds rather than lower and pushing similar amounts of air to smaller fans
