i like these words

here we go guys - as promised

took pics of the important stuff
got a profile shot of the foam insulation too
as well as the hard drive bays and the roof of the case
i cant get over how light the case is!
pics dont really do it justice - the finish is superb!
everything just fits really well

going to swap out the stock rear fan for a sharkoon so its one less cable to braid

the rest can be hidden easily by the looks of it

EdGey · 7 Nov 2008 at 18:44

very nice indeed

do you think it would still be easy to hide all cables with the top hard drive bay out? or does it hide a lot behind it.

just i heard you need to take it out if you have a huge graphics card.

Very nice, is that your mobile in the second to last pic :eek:

not really - my 9800gtx has loads of room
and a gtx280 would fit in there too

i think an x2 may struggle

the hole at the bottom where the psu goes is big enouh to hide all the psu cables

and the rest is covered up by drive bays/struts

ok cool

thx

As there is no plate to keep the PSU isolated, won't the heat from it affect the GPU and CPU?

pulls air from the bottom pushes it out of the back

thermal testing in custom pc showed this to be one of the best at removing heat out

same could be said for cosmos/900/1200/HAF etc

same could be said for 90% of cases!

I just thought that with no plate between it and the rest of the case, any heat would affect the GPU and CPU? I seen the custompc mag article. Very interesting.

Nice case. If only more cases would come with the internals to match.

i doubt it even if it is the case im sure the fans will help solve the problem

i know - i wanted something that would last me a good few years and a lot of systems - it seems very easy to work with

just need to make christmas hurry up!

Just Had the delivery today. Just have to wait for the case and Graphics card. I'll do a build log and post benchmarks and how everything went with some pics and all that lark

Don't want to derail this thread, so i'll probably start my own.
