Hey XMS that's a pretty nice case there. It's not something I'd buy but tbh it's a nice case .

I like the Giga-Byte 3D Aurora case better, persoanlly. That is one slick case.

You in the market for a new case?

 

[FarFarAway]

I like it but the ommission of the crossflow fan put me off waiting for it

 

[FragTek]

I love it, i think it looks like the uber pwnage... I'd definately check one out for a future build without a doubt.

 

[Dav0s]

i voted meh, as that word seems to sum me up pretty nicely

 

[NickS]

You can sum up everything with the word Meh.

Meh's very...meh.

Frag you're very meh.

 

[Waffles]

[Eguy]

Yeah i am acutally. I'm thinking about doing a water cooling project - just coz i miss the leetness of it.

Only thing is, i'm short on tools so i'm looking for something that will house a dual 120mm rad and maybe also a single 120mm rad without any cutting.

So far it looks like the Stacker is top choice because its already got a cutout at the bottom of the case which i could strap a rad to.

I'm still open to suggestions tho..

The stacker WILL house those without any problems or mods at all to the case

Yeah, as u've got one kemp - i wanna throw a couple of Q's at you..

1. Is the front of the case plastic/steel/alu?

2. Can the hard disk cage be moved up/down the case?

3. Did you buy your window panel seperatly, or is there a specific model that comes with it?

4. Whats the finish on the panels like? Plain alu or is it coated?

 

[Dav0s]

3. supposed to come seperately but it was included with kemps anyway, so he had to return the window panel he bought seperately

Where did he buy it? I want one with a free window!

Front of the case is finished in Aluminium (in my case blue)

Hard disk cage can be moved wherever you want.

Window was bought seperately but they sent me wrong case colour and got a window included so sent the other one back.

Fisish on all outside panels is brushed aluminium apart from the back panel which is steel.

All inside panels are Steel and pretty solid.

The armor is great ofr watercooling also, has premade tube slots at the back if your using an external system or backup water system. Also has a shit load of room

True but:

Jim will want 1337 water so he won't be going outside.

The Armour is Fugly (more so than the stacker)

Yeah, I'm probably going to be using a Dual 120mm + Single 120mm rad and fitting it all inside the case with some 1/2" ID tubing, so i wouln't have much chance of getting that all in an Armour.

Also, i dont have any cutting tools at my disposal, and i've seen the above config in a Stacker with only the use of a drill

And by the time thats all crammed in there with several pints of water, the case will need to be on wheels (which is handy coz the stacker comes with em)

Tbh I like the CM Stacker 1 atm better, Giga-Byte 3D Aurora and LianLi PC75 pwnz all tho.

 

[Dav0s]

the GB 3d aurora is nice, but i sont like the front bit sticking out and it needs a real window. practicality it rox tho.

plus its a bit small for a really good watercooling setup and is really made to go with the gigabyte w/c kit which seems a bit rubbish
