Help me find...

[Mr. Smith]

The smallest case possible that will fit the PA120.3!

I quite like the idea of a mirror finish, no TT crap, no lights, pneumatic roofs (ahem TT). SMALL as possible given we are talking a PA120.3

Budget is yet to be decided - guess it doesn't matter at the moment as I'd need 2 weeks to set asside the dough.

I'm just looking for ideas really, I have an old li-li case that I will use until I have the funds for a new one - its not pretty lol. However, I figure there are some mid-towers that can fit this rad (I hope)

TYIA :worship:

This baby right here... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112107

You can fit the 120.3 in the top and that case is uber sex, its the little brother of my A10A. Nick has one and loves it to death.

Thanks Frag... Think is, it has a door, the fan controller has knobs so I don't think it will work?

Chop its knobs off?

if the design of the door is same as the A10, knobs is no problem

Castrate my fan controller? No way man! Besides, how would I change the fan speed... Don't answer that one!

Cool.

Still, not that keen on the case tbh, any other suggestions? I am liking the A10A though

Edit: Found the case in silver Frags... WELL NICE! If the fan controller knobs fit we may well have a winner

i highly recommend the A10.......

but thats because of the removeable mobo tray and support dual PSU.....LOL

but to fit a PA120.3 inside of the A10.....its going to be amazingly tight

good luck in which ever case you get

 

[Mr. Smith]

The 120.3 would fit in the A10 no probs, it's the 101's big brother!

I'm on about the 101! Check the post Frag linked... I contacted Kustom PC's - they confirm it will fit, but with the depth plus my monster delta fans that cuts off the top 10cm on the case.

As these cases are btx(?) cpu at the bottom.. it might be a bit of a pain with the wiring for the power/reste/satas...

Help!

P.S you sure about the fan knobs? Kustom reckon I might have to set the f/con back a bit...

 

[NickS]

Yeah it is.. I had an MCR220 up there. Make sure you get the front panel connectors right before you mount the rad.

SATA is a pain too but it fits.

Oh and yes, it's reverse ATX.

as far as photos show, the door has the same design as me A10, how deep inside the door is i'll never know.

me A10 has 20mm+ space behind the door, about the same as me old P180....and the 101 photos looks about the same.

where about you live? near central london? if so, why not pop in yoyo-tech and see if they have a 101 instock on display? last time i went to yoyo-tech, they had loads of case on display for people to mess about.....worth a try

 

[Mr. Smith]

Thanks for the input but after much debate (and unforseen circumstances) I have decided to work with this pigs ear of a PC-75 and try make a silk purse of it!

Watch this space... Might take a while lol

What's wrong with it? Is that the scratched one you got second hand?

Nothin wrong with a PC-75, mine was setup like the dogs dangles, plenty of room for everything!

Yup. It needs some tlc

I got drunk and cut the blow holes myself... Not a good idea. At the time I thought they were mint.

Oh well, I think I can rescue it!
