Didnt know that i would have thought that would have been an issues across all their cases then considering Ocuk have just started to stock the asgard line?

Shame really as i still have a half a mind about buying and paint modding one of these
 
Liking the addition of that fan :D
Seems to be a good case for the money.. shame they don't stock them. Might have been tempted with one instead of my CM690 Pure.




Nah..... :p
 
Xigmatek have apparently improved the quality of there cases, I have tested this theory with the Asgard, and the Asgard is a better quality case.

Just waiting for a sample from Xigmatek on the improved Midgard. If its better, it may return.
 
Quality issues with it apparantly. Shame as it looks a great case for the money..

Is this link to the newer and better -w case?
The non-window case did suffer from poor HD and expansion mechanisms (as did the windowed version before it hit a revision shortly after its release)

The pics your showing in this thread are for the older case, the new xpac clips are now looking like this, and are a lot more secure

The midgard case now for 70 notes is a pretty nice case, would be nice to see OcUK stocking them, seeing as they have just started with the little brother model
 
Does look fine not too many cable managment holes though but the 2 lower down should be ok...

Does look like its nailed down a lot of features and functions though the current high end £100-150 cases already have like obsidian/fratual.
 
I bought one from OCUK and I'm very happy with it, the only problem I can find with it is that the side panels are abit hard to get on properly, and the tool less design for the expansion slots kinda suck at holding large graphics cards. Love everything else about it though.

For some reason, the one I received has way more cable management holes than the ones shown in the picture/Xigmateks site. 4 on the side and 2 at the bottom.
 
This is the current cable management setup, like I say, this case is now on I think its 3rd revision and seems to be fixing the problems reported.

Any decent hardware/trade shop should have reels of rubber edging.

Even some watercooling specialist e-tailers which are prob the best place. Ill send you the link in trust as it maye be considered an ocuk competitor

I think it would look better with red bit on it rather than orange (yes I like red a lot) or anything flamy coloured :P
 
Sorry for the massive thread revival. DEAR OCUK:

I am receiving a review sample of the latest revision of the Midgard W. If you let me know what the build issues were, I can test to see if they are fixed with the latest revision and let you know. If I think it's OK you can buy one to test yourselves and see what you think.
