£65/£63 is crazy cheap.

its is quite cheap but you'll notice it when you start getting to play with it.
on the top section on mine 3 stand off broke with in seconds. The metal is fairly thin on the side panels, how ever these are all minor things to be honest. Another problem though is the Fan spacing on the top for were you fit a rad are not correct they are not 15mm but 17mm how ever you can mess around a little and make it work quite well.
You need to be careful when moving it about as the plastics are a little on the flimsy side but alas what do u expect for the money.
I personally dont like the fans it came with as i found them to be quite low cfm with to much noise so i chucked in a couple of NZXT's which do the job better. How ever its not a complaint in any way cause getting 3 fans at this price is a bonus.
Didnt get a gold award from me for nothing!

No if i played i could get a 2 x 120mm in the top, a 3 x 120mm in the front , 1 x 120mm in the bottom and 1 x 120mm on the back.
The reason why only 1 rad is fitted in atm is to check the efficiency of the fluid. As its not only cooling as over clocked CPU quite well but its all so a over clocked chip set and on-board GPU and that double rad with the fluid is handling it easily with out any problems. All so the fans are only running at 1/2 speed though out the whole system so its close to virtually quiet.
This pretty much proves that the case air flow is working very well with its windows side panel but with the 4 x 120mm side panel it would run even cooler.
as for the over clock on a £45 MB , CPU and Ram (thks to stephy for that) well this is it ->

the review states that the xigmatek is the best sub 100 quid case available. Surely its not better than the cm 690 II advanced?? you can fit 2 liquid rads in that and its only 73 quid
We reviewed this before that came out. But technically you can get a 360mm rad in the front of the Utgard soooooo................
I think a D14 should fit although I never tested it with one it was so long ago.
I know it's probably asking too much but could you test-fit one for me if you've still got the Utgard around?
Your right it is asking too much
2 slow granddad, I edited it alreadyDidn't mean to sound like an arse but now you've quoted me..
I sure hope it fits. Would CCL be willing for me to return it if it doesn't?
Not if youve used it
