Milano - was the 5 hot swapable cages expensive if you dont mind can you give us a approx figure ?

Around £5 each from a competitor, though it's not cages, it's the backplate.

Im thinking of buying a full set of the adaptors, Saves your running across another power leed from your pcu, becouse they all have molex pass through cables.

Is there any disadvantage to running 5 drives of 1 molex?

ChrisD. · 28 Jul 2011 at 16:56

Don't make the same mistake as me, you only need 4 adaptors.

I'd like to know about the drives as well running off one connector. If there's an issue I will re-wire it tomorrow when my SSD arrives.

Oh yeah I was only going to order 4, Did you not realize the case came with 1?

No lol.

Want to buy one off me? Trust if interested.

Looking at my pic, I want a new motherboard. I don't like the red/blue combination lol.

I've decided on the Raven white edition with this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-053-OC as i am adding a 2nd 580 by end of year also getting a Western Digitial 2TB black hardrive is this a good combo?

Robertnpmk · 28 Jul 2011 at 20:01

sounds good, but do you really need the second 580?

Subliminal Aura · 28 Jul 2011 at 20:02

I've decided that my love affair with the FT02 is officially over unless someone can show that it can provide effective high flow cooling.

Robertnpmk · 28 Jul 2011 at 20:07

cant really compare with anyother cases sorry.

Yeah since i'll be getting a 3D IPS which should be out end of the year as Hazro stated aswell as some sites.

Seems like these cases will cool SLI very well too if using reference coolers especially with the exhausting air being very beneficial for the design.

khemist · 28 Jul 2011 at 20:48

What does high flow cooling mean?.

lol wut

Subliminal Aura · 28 Jul 2011 at 20:50

:/ I meant proportional cooling at higher flow rates. I'm seeing more people confirm that the fans on full do little to improve cooling

khemist · 28 Jul 2011 at 20:51

Just use them on low all the time, it's better than most cases.

Well this has become my concern... There should be enough left in reserve to cool a SLI/Xfire setup.

ChrisD. · 28 Jul 2011 at 21:07

There probably is, but the extra cooling offered doesn't warrant me turning it up, since I have a H70 and single GPU.

I have 2 x 6950's and as I said earlier I run my fans at less than the low setting and it still cools everything fine.

Hi, Did you happen to talk any idle / load temps
