The New Cases Gallery

[Helios1234]

same for me , i clean the filters 1 a month

PS my Lian li is mid size and has 2 air intakes 1 in front and 1 in rear (although I have seen many use that incorectly as an exhaust, the side panel fan is the exhaust , actually when used correctly the temps are fine)

Those v1100 are lovely cases but i wanted 2 fans at the front and one at the rear. I didnt realise the v1100 worked differently but the lian lis arent too bad for cooling really. And they're oh so beautiful!

What did you use for paint and what preparation did you do first?

Thats the best i can do, i have to force the other side pannel on because of all the wires that are sandwitched inbetween it.

The only paint i used was gloss black from autosmart, i didn't use primer because i was waiting for my gpu to arive

so wanted to get it done as quick as possible. i didn't even sand it down either so i am supprised that the paint went on so well i only had to give it 2 coats.

Can people stop quoting 65thousand images to post 4 words :/

osullivanpt, that's one seriously tidy case! nicely done.

 

[Phil2008]

I wouldnt mind putting some tubes in my antec 900..... Is that the smallest size you can get? Can they be turned off easy without removing the case side? How hot do they get?

 

[osullivanpt]

When you say tubes do you mean the lights

 

[almighty15]

Mine, 80% done.

Things to do :

1. Stick in another 4gig of Corsair Dominator DDR2 8500 RAM ( 8gig *** )
2. Fit my new pump and reservoir when they get here thursdays/friday
3. Tidy the cables up cus there a mess
4. Put in SLI 8800GT's ( Got one of them, just waiting for the other to arrive )

And yes, there is a radiator in there

Well finally got my CM 690 Nvidia. I am going to paint the inside black but not just yet. Going to find out the best way to go about it. If its not too much I will get it powder coated. This is probably the tidiest I've ever managed to make a case. I did have to do some cutting so i could bring the mobo power cable from round the back.

My temperatures have dropped about 10oC from my old P180

I made one booboo though, I left my stalker:cs disc in the drive. Got a bit chewed up when I did a test startup and moved it from its side to its bottom

yes

Well finally got my CM 690 Nvidia.

That looks great, can we have a picture of the case with the side on to see what it looks like with the green window?

Fairly roomy case, much more than i imagined

 

[osullivanpt]

yes

I think you can get them in two sizes 12" and 4", they don't get hot and they come with a pci backplate with a switch on it
