Looking good :)

Mine is being delivered Friday and hopefully my water-cooling bits (pipe and new fans) should be delivered tomorrow. Just need to decide on what colour coolant to use.
 
I always keep thinking of white as the old beige cases of the past! yet they are a completely different league :p

I might get a white case one day :D

As Asus are raping everyone with the price of the swift i have decided to change my case first and wait for the price to come down. So today I purchased one of these bad boy's in black. Kudos to the guys who got the white ones as i bottled it at the last moment. I do have a couple of questions though: 1) I will be using 2 360mm rads and was wondering which direction you guys have your bottom rad fans blowing. 2) How do you post pictures on th forums.

I don't actually have a radiator in the bottom of mine, just 2 fans....

But they are sucking air from underneath and into the case, which is exactly how I would mount them, if I we're using a radiator.

So, at the moment my top, bottom and front case fans are all sucking air from outside the case, and the 1 fan on the rear is exhausting all of it.

I think they call this "positive pressure", but I think its all very experimental to the case in question, I still don't know if this is the best setup
for mine, as I have only just got the case, so will probably experiment further...

Other's may give you different \ better advice ?



To use pictures on this site, you need to upload your pictures to a picture hosting site, I use Picassa, but there are loads of other alternatives out there.

Then you can get a link for your picture, and use them in your posts.

Case arrived lunchtime :D

Very heavy with nothing in it! going to need a crane to take it upstairs once my water cooling bits are in!

Taking photos as I go but I had a couple of set backs, my braided cabled for my Corsair PSU went to Wales rather than Kent :(. Lost my screw for my water block so ordered a new one for delivery tomorrow.

Overall quality I am impressed, the case got a bit battered up one the way, found one bracket snapped for the roof which I just glued back on (no harm done so no point complaining and it won't been seen) so far so good :D

Looks good mate, very stealthy. Id love to watercool in this case as it's so good for it. But my problem is getting a good cpu thats worth delidding and clocks well. Im thinking 360 rad in the roof, if it will fit with the maximus 6 formula board. Bay res as due to my gpu i cant use the res bracket. Coupled with a D5 pump with aftermarket top hid near the psu. The case is so well designed for watercooling, but great for air too.

Iirc you had a bitfenix shinobi xl too mate, lovely solid built case, but air flow into it is terrible. And it's quite cramped inside for a full ATX case. The primo is great to build in. Lots of room and good cable management. But yes, it is a very heavy beast. My poor ol back suffers lifting it, im even wary of putting it on my desk in case it collap[ses it lol.:D
