Return of an absolute classic.

No, simple. :p

Off out so it will give you chance now!

The original price of some of these was well into the £200 range and above, they are quality cases that just can not be matched by modern alternatives.

Think Silverstone cases, but without them being overpriced. Then price them at £200. :p

Makes for very good cases.

Think silverstone cases without the shoddy workmanship. If only Silverstone cases were built as good as they look.

Not as lucky as me with my DX1 for £40.76 all in (and yes it was brand new from a competitor)

Shame reallly that OcUK didn't get the 500's that were floating about not so long ago.:D

Are they really that popular they were not big sale the first time round.
 
Well most people here have already snapped them up.

They are more popular than before due to lack of choice with the ATCs cases, although I think everyone who wanted them already has them. Only way to shift them is if they were in the £40 region, which I doubt you could get them for.

Get some 110's in and I'll bite yer hand off :)

Although I'm starting to doubt how it could be better than my S4000 now. It's still sitting in a corner half built but every time I look at it I have a little smile to myself.
 
Hmm possibly. Sitting my 111 (which obviously isn't a patch on the 110 quality but looks very similar one) next to the S4000 I prefer the S4000. But part of that could just be because it's new and I'm used to seeing the 111.

I do love the clean flat look of the 111/110 though. And the S4000's length may get a bit tiring. Very tempted to get a Silverstone TJ03 as they are very similar to 110's. But don't really have the money right now. And no need for a third case.
 
im sure there an amazingly well made case but I think its ugly as sin. no way on this earth I would pay that for it.


as my old nan used to say, 'you cant polish a turd'



its amaziing how many people will buy it becuase of the badge.

just my 2 cents
 
Damm you! :p I ordered a Mystique 631 the other day for my new Conroe build.....I've always loved the 210C-AX1 especially Iver Athlon's modded one.

If I had the money I would buy one in a second :)

/wonders off to a dark corner to sulk :(

I think they had a little spurt due to certain fans buying them up lol - but they are also a great little case that sits between shuttle and mATX, though with todays huge heatsinks and psu positioning you need to be creative!
 
Already odered 2 for mates.

Thinking of 1 for myself.

I am in the process of building a Conroe rig and have not ordered my case yet. I have a budget up to 250 quid for the case and was considering the Akasa Eclipse/Mirage 62 which I know cools well, but not that happy with the looks.

Anyway, this Coolermaster is definitely a runner. I had it when it OcUK first sold it. I remember buying it the day it went up on their site. Only problem is the 80mm fans which dissapointed me.

Now that things have moved on and peripherals are hotter can this case handle the heat ?

Could it effectively cool the following and do it quietly ?

Core 2 Extreme (probably overclocked)
7950GX2 - eventually replaced with a G80, possibly go SLI if Nvidia ever release the 590.
Intel Bad Axe Mobo (passively cooled with big heatsink)
2 x 7200rpm hard drives
2 x Opticals
Xfi
TV card

I remember the big problem was no intakes, so how is the hot video card going to get any air ?

Also - will this case fit a massive psu like the Enermax Galaxy ?

Don't think the Eclipse will even handle this psu as the 140mm fan won't be positioned in the centre of the psu cage so airflow to the fan will be blocked.

Thanks

When you get the ones for your mates try the PSU and see. i recently had a problem in the 201 (one of the very early ones where you have to put the PSU in from the inside not from the rear) where the gap between the psu cage and the 5.25" bays was not big enough and the PSU was just a tad too wide for the 5.25" bays i ended up having to force it and scratched up the PSU
 
/rubs cm110

any chance of getting any 410's in? i almost bought that, then is dissapeared from the net!

-edit, found the 4000!

Erm that would be a competitor!
