No-one heard of a CHENBRO GAMING BOMB 2?

Noni · 14 Mar 2006 at 15:54

Just saw one of these in the flesh, looks and feels great. Mind you, it was brief.

Ok, for you boring guys who just browse-

120mm back and front, 92mm top

All ALU construction

Removable MB tray WITH handy holes for all your cables

Optional Side window

Comes in black and silver

A review- http://www.anandtech.com/casecooling/showdoc.aspx?i=2298

You can get this for £57 inc Delivery if you look and do some research (and sign up somewhere).

Normally it retails for £100, but its normally at £67 on another website.

My question is, why is this case not popular? Apart from it being availble from only 1 retailer, why else?

looks like a nice enough case, not sure on the handles on the top mind.

2 x120mm fans, nice feature

Dont know why its not popular.

maybe because they are regarded as a too high quality case manufacturer?

Handles on the top can be removed.

Nah the reason why this case is not supremely popular is it is more of a gaming case, BUT most gaming case people have no inkling towards quality, so the market for this case is very small.

Both the Gaming Bombs have been great cases, although the 'high build quality' gaming case market is nigh on non-existant.

Only with patented Go Faster Stripes(tm) as an addition

EDIT:

I am only joking I don't think it looks half bad (in case anyone takes what I said seriously)

Yewen · 14 Mar 2006 at 16:53

Nobody ever takes you seriously so would not make much difference

Could not resist that one sorry

KizZ · 14 Mar 2006 at 17:04

Yo this is pimp my case! We actually set this case on fire. check it out!

Yewen · 14 Mar 2006 at 17:21

There are better custom flames by a competitor

You call that pimping, has no alloys!

dabblet · 15 Mar 2006 at 15:32

'tis a good case (must be 'cos I've got one). Good quality & easy to work on - only downside are the upper easy drive rail arrangements for 5.25 devices - not that secure imho. Everything else is fairly sweet.

alexakasloth · 15 Mar 2006 at 17:04

The black version actually looks quit nice. The plastic a bit cheap looking but still a very nice case overall.

What plastic?

Mark A · 15 Mar 2006 at 17:10

It looks fairly good IMO but then again i do own an Eclipse

. Ive never seen the case before on any on line stores, i reckon it would be more popular if it was more easily available as it looks a decent case.

There isn't any plastic bits. It has finally dropped to a price I would have paid except I now have an Antec. :shrug:

I hated the original gaming bomb, but that, I have to say I like it a lot, think I might have just found what I want to replace the faithful old green dragon with

Yewen · 16 Mar 2006 at 02:17

Green dragon!

Brilliant, uncommon to find them in green and yellow. Noisey cases mind.
