Caselabs M8 Review

[SmoulderingCircuits]

It has a lot of customization options, but I just don't like the look of it. Great review though, you covered all of the points.

I think it's meant for people who stick hurricane fans on 12v to the side of every knook and cranny they can fit a rad in then put their rig in a corner/ another room/ in a soundproof box/ use soundproof headphones/ are deaf.

It's clearly not built for convinience/ looks if it's that cumbersome and huge

if you put 2 360 rads with low RPM fans it is going to be near silent

Q1 2012 they have a 'normal' sized case and an MATX coming........... before anyone asks - yes both of them.

but good healthy competition drives innovation.....personally i cant wait to see their proverbial responses sans a new case!!!

Yes, and run hotter. If someone was going to the trouble of running 4+ 360 rads I think they'd be using something well over 100cfm if not 200

Stunning.....Simply stunning.

and just itching to be modded.

As long as cpu temps don't go over the recommended temp it doesn't matter how much cooler Joes cpu is

It might do if Joe is some watercooling mega nerd trying to set records

my fluids that case . if the whole right section was 2 different reservoirs ... nom nom nom

I was thinking along the same line.

Did you see the TH10 beast ?

I think the TX10 Extreme Edition is even going to have an option for horizontal motherboard tray.

I think you are missing the point and no one running 4 rads will be running 100cfm fans. Thats just a n000b statement in my eyes.

And no matter how many rads you use you wont get below ambient temps of the room so a mega nerd trying to break records wont be fussed with water

Again - n000b statement

I honestly don't see the point though, If your going to run thease cases with 480 rads you're more then likely will be running full CPU/ GPU /Mainboard blocks, Otherwise people are kinda wasting their money on such a big case based around watercooling. So you won't have any heat in the case really since the water cooling is removing it all..

Heat rises, So the best possible position in the case for the Rads is the roof.

Hi,

I think I might have to get me one of these for my next build...I can see myself going a little crazy with all the options available however.

Sorta thinking a nice dual-loop set up with different colours for CPU and GPU loops...hmm, maybe separate GPU loops too with another colour! Gotta keep it tidy though.

While Tom has almost sold me on a nice external rad set up for my current build, I do like the idea of a fully internal setup. There's ample room for that in this case for sure.

The cool thing is that with Sandy B. running so cool (the single 25mm thick 120mm rad on my Antec Kuhler 620 keeps my CPU in the low-60's in Prime95 @ 4.6) we can use the lions share of the cooling potential for our hot GPU's. Cooling a pair of 590's or 6990's should be well within this cases abilities, while remaining a tidy internal build. Add to this we expect the Ivy B. to run cooler still, for a given clock, as well as the 7*** from AMD and 6** from NV will in turn, one expects, be no-worse than what we have now. I can see a case like this lasting quite some time.

Gonna go fantasy case shopping & start specing up those extras...after I ask someone to hide my credit card...

Cheers,

Scoob.

Ahhhh,

I made the foolish mistake of checking out Caselabs other cases...the TH10...damn, that's a sizable case. Turn it on it's side, stick four wheels on it and you've got a medium sized family saloon!

Cheers,

Scoob.

This is my favourite TTL video simply for his enthusiasm alone. I laughed quite a few times as he ran out of breath in his amazement of this case.

It wont win any beauty prizes but that's not what it's about. What a fantastic case though eh TTL lol

I could see people just enjoying that design, that is why you see some mad men watercooling the Rave RV-02

This guy has 3 580's and a 2600K in the M8:-

Surprised those 580 fit...lol.

Kidding!

I think that's the joy of a case like this, the space and component mounting options etc.

Nice case and nice review as always
