Took the plunge

Needed a new case for my system with dual 360 radiators.

Managed to grab it for £299 in the UK which is just a bit more than the 900D, perfect.

Had to go with the black interior too (although I would have preferred the red) due to the current colour combo of black/orange.

That should be me sorted out now for a good few years!

Yep

Should come with a 120x2 on the front which won't be an issue for the time being but will eventually be replaced with another 360 panel.

The reference 290s don't seem to be that bad at the moment so for the time being one 360 for the 4770k will suffice.

Just fancied something different and simple

Don't forget the piccy's

£299 for a case, may I ask why such a big price tag for a basic looking case? ( genuine question, never seen a case this expensive)

They are meant to be up there with Case Labs as the 'best' water cooling cases around.

Fully aluminium, very modular so you can chop and change what setup you want, etc.

Yes it's a rather expensive price (normally they are £350 after importing) but generally a case will last you as long as you want it to.

This is sort of an investment

My Caselabs came in at £700 after tax

thats is gorgeous but £299!!! wow i wish i could afford to spend that much on a case

setter · 2 Jun 2014 at 19:57

Great looking case, this is the sort of style i prefer. Nice simple elegant lines and no flashy/blingy stuff.

You can get a replacement panel for the front to house another 360.

Kosmiche · 3 Jun 2014 at 10:22

Looks like the obelisk from 2001.

Antihero · 3 Jun 2014 at 11:14

Stunning looking case, we need some pics more internal pics.

Will do

Need to order some tubing and orange fluid.

Looks the muts nuts. I was so tempted to get one of these but I wanted a CL for a while. Looking forward to seeing it full of goodies James.

JamesM · 3 Jun 2014 at 20:58

Might be tempted to put my 7990s back in for this just for the 'wow' factor even though the 290s are amazing cards.

Ahhh decisions decisions

JamesM · 3 Jun 2014 at 21:35

Ordered some PCIe brackets

Will take the dust filters off and leave just the square gaps for this effect

Well it arrived and it's bigger than I thought!

Running on air for the time being until the rest of water stuff arrives for the swap over.

Please excuse the naff pictures and the background haha. I've moved the on/off panel to the top away from pesky childrens fingers and it looks as though i'll be able to keep one of the HDD bays in place with there being just enough room for the front radiator and fans to fit in.

Mayhems orange pastel is on it's way along with some extra tubing. Although i'm tempted to wait till I can afford GPU blocks for the 290s before putting the loop in. That or I put my 7990s back in instead.

Took the plunge
