Any of you guy's using one of those? I was looking at them today and they seem to have plenty of room to get whatever you want inside... even a lot of WC'ing equipment if need be. If anyone has one how do you like it?
I saw some pics in their image gallery but none really seemed to get a real good look at what was inside.

Yah, they are really nice cases Jeffro, nice. But they are a bit pricy for me personally. You have tons of options on how you wanna setup watercooling and they look cool as heck. I don't think anyone here is currently running a cube.

I had a duality for a while. The new Ascension series looks very nice. I would like to try one with a horizontal mb tray this time though.

I was sent this case with the Asus R3E MB about a week before the MB came out..Seems my Asus kin want pics ...I had a IOH heat issue with the first MB and sent it back...I took the MB apart and still couldn't get away from the 85c range on the IOH so I am building this with the new one...
This is the plain brushed alum. extended U2-UFO MM case....( I would like it in navy Blue)
Most of our top notch team need no case but my neices Husband (the Asus Guy) wanted this after the summit and I am a hardware Junkie...
I slapped together a 24 x 18 wood box with wheels for this instead of using casters that came with the case..My Bulldog wasn't really sure as he watched this for 3 days...LOL
Here was the start:

This is the first Horizontal MB I have ever used..

980X retail
Asus EAH5870
SS ST-1500 PSU
Corsair Dom. 1866 7-8-7-20 ram
2 x WD V 600 Raptors

Koolance CPU-360 Block
Alphacool Repack reservoir

The back:
One really great thing with MM is room to spare and also there is a art about there cases....
The new R3E has no IOH heat issue...

This case came with all acrylic sides...Even my Mom helped pitch in to finish this on mothers day...
The downside if any is the many screws per side...
The upside is with all sides attached I have cool running....

ioh issue gone? what is the temps on the new r3e?
My mom does go for the wild side with her clothes, even at 75...Still can't believe she wanted to help!!!
The temps are running around 35-40 at 3.9..I am using the extra fan thingy they sent with the MB...
Before it would run 90 with the stock one and 85 with the extra one even after I took the MB apart and reseated everything as HR did..
I think there was a issue with the NB itself because I could see no warp.....
your moms cool :thumbsup: mines on the crazy side also shes just 62 i think, but shes a school teacher Pre-K so i think shes just a big kid sometimes lol
but i also like some of there cases but the cost kills it for me

I didn't take it apart this time as i prolly should have...With the first one it was set to shut down at 100C as you mentioned and did while i was loading win 7..
I just put on the extra heatsink and fan...But on the upside it is a 40-50C improvement.
You could be correct about a change in pads...I was in a bit of a hurry because pics were wanted of the case and i had sit on it for 2 weeks...I used the first R3E in my lian li cube....
side note:
My mom was holding wires for me why I tied things off and at the end she looked at me and ask...
Now what does this thing do exactly:laughing:
