That will look amazing.

Noise wise is not too bad actually, not that noisy to me and it doesn't like a jet

I'm just thinking another project with my Fortress and might be selling my Xigmatek actually, but still not sure yet

The Xigmateks are the best part of your build.

Oh btw, the ones you linked me to say that they've got white LEDs.

Nick1881 · 4 Apr 2009 at 16:30

Yea the same as willy's, the fan blades are orange so the white LED's light them up nice.

willy · 4 Apr 2009 at 16:34

Yup, orange blades with white led

icey_haj · 4 Apr 2009 at 16:39

Oh, I see.

willy · 4 Apr 2009 at 16:51

So are you gonna get 1 to change your P182 then

Can't afford it at the moment. When I do my next build, I'll definately consider it. I must have those fans though!

They fairly quiet?

willy · 4 Apr 2009 at 17:04

Probably not the quietest but quite enough for me

I probably gonna order new parts soon and see which one better for it

Anyone have any mounting idea's for 2 SSD's in this case? They are so small 2 would fit in a 3.5" bay, and no moving parts so don't have to be well secured.

Something like that'd be great. I know that that example is more drives in more space, but you get the idea.

Haha, just noticed that I left the &highlight=mechano in the link

was how I found it.

You could probably just set them in the bottom of the lower 3.5" cage. Just cut the cross beams off the lower plastic cradle and it will fit in around them, so you won't see them from the front and it will look like it is supposed to. That way they will also still get a decent amount of airflow from the intake fan too.

Are all of these cases black inside or have you guys painted/powder coated?

Just noticed I have ordered the none window version, will have to call them monday and cancel.

Only the windowed version. The non windowed version is grey inside.

Nick1881 · 4 Apr 2009 at 17:29

Ah I just checked and I did get the window version, the none window version is more expensive for some strange reason.

Thanks Diggsy

No problems. If you need any pics of any part of the insides of the case, just shout. I took a lot when building.

See my build thread here for most of them...

Thanks, can't wait to get mine this week. Please braid my cables for me

Silverstone have just brought out the SDP08 which allows you to fit 2 2.5" drives in the 3.5" bay, don't think anywhere sells them yet though. I will have to wait for one.

You could probably really easily make something similar. All you need is a couple of pieces of metal strips that you can bend easily - did someone mention Mechano before - that might be perfect

You can get ssd to 3.5 bracket somewhere else

Have you got your case yet, want to see my twins
