Wavemaster?!

Hi all,

Been a while since I've posted in here, been in motors for ages.

Anyway, I want to build a new system and therfore want a new case. Thing is, I need this computer to be done on a budget and it needs to last a while. Having bought a Coolermaster 110 at the begginning of the year and having just finished restoring it, I dont want to be paying out for a TJ07 or anything - it also hasnt got to be eATX and I'd actually like a smaller computer for a change, hence ATX with an Opteron.

So, Ive been thinking about a Wavemaster. Now I know the airflow is bad, but is it really that bad? Also, its either this or a V1000+. After seeing Yewen's case it looked awesome, but im not sure whether I like it more than the Wavemaster.

And finally, just to be difficult, what are the chances of getting a Limited Edition Blue Wavemaster! That's the one I'd have!

Thanks in advance for any input.

Hmmm, I like the V1000+, but not really sure if I want to move away from Coolermaster. Processors getting abit hot isn't what worries me, its items such as the harddrives!

Wont be running an SLI system (well, not at first), but will be quite a good spec. What makes you say it's nothing special in blue Yewen? I've always prefered silver, but quite like the idea of a painted case for a changed.

Not sure I could stand being worries about temps all the time though Eliot, would drive me nuts!

Hard decision...

Hmm, will be fairly warm then. Id have thought decent CPU, graphics card and hard drive coolers should keep the vital components cool, all of which I will be using.

I think ill probably still opt for the Wave, despite the lovely V. Either that or a Silverstone Sugo... totally different rig required, but it's very, very tempting.

Hmmm, okay. Can't really believe though Yewen that you're convincing me to go fora modern CM over a Lian-Li, even if the Wavemaster was designed by the ATC group

I am not a Lian Li fanboy though, ATC-Tek, well, now.

Lol, keep telling yourself that Yewen

.

One thing I am thinking of doing if I buy a Wavemaster is to remove the feet and put wheels on. Not sure how I'll do this though, or where I will get the feet!

So difficult, I really am having trouble on this one. Just re-read your review on the V and I just love the look. Also like the idea of a break from a door, something Ive had on cases for a long time now.

Then a blue wavmaster comes in, argh!

Buying both is NOT an option.
