I've been looking for a new case. This one has potential.

Wow, that is different

This is the one I like ATM if I were to build in a new case

Man that's a sweet case for a buck. Hovering over the buy button now.

Thats a nice case WD. Lian Li makes quality stuff. I have their HTPC case for my HT. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112228

but dayum, for $100 this case is sweet.

[Witchdoctor]

yea no doubt, have been reading up on it since this thread, I have mixed feelings on it. Looks tight, just the whole HAF design with the ridged corners and stuff , and can you get a push pull with a standard rad in the front, hard to tell with the pics.

Don't thnk it can pass as a tech bench as they state as it would be a bitch pouring into as the flask would hit the edges being 7.25" deep

a 200mm rad up top would be epic as well though and like the hotswap drive set up in front

If you grab it hope you do a build log to reaaly show what works and what doesn't with this new design, kida an old desk top case with a lower deck so to speak ....... :thumbsup:

[MaadDaawg]

I've been looking at the new HAF for awhile now, but the potential downside I see is that it says it fits mini, micro, and standard ATX mobos. None of mine fit any of those descriptions so I'd have to buy a new board too.

I'm kind of leaning towards this case to build a gamer for sale

Lots of air cooling and water cooling possibilities :thumbsup:

Lil long in the tooth tho eh?

Lil long in the tooth tho eh?

just have to wait for it to go on sale :D the mobo tray flips over to normal ATX and the side panels are interchangeable, so it's very versatile. :thumbsup:

[Witchdoctor]

Bought an Azza once, It was a hunk of shit, can't speak to the linked one, but if their quality is the same across the line just say no, not to mention that thing prolly wieghs a ton, this is a decent buget gaming case with good build quality

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139009

Plus the one I linked above at 25% off is a steal for a full aluminum chassis :thumbsup:

Although My next grinder build will be in Godzilla if it ever gets released

[MaadDaawg]

I've looked real closely at that one a couple times, thinking I want more fannage though cause I may not water the cards. Also, want it big cause it may house my X79 :P

[Witchdoctor]

This case looks interesting for the price, can do up to 3x140 in the top and 4x120 with some modding involved from what I have read

http://www.amazon.com/CA-SW810-B1-Black-Steel-Switch-Computer/dp/B00830GINC

Availible in White and Gunmeatal as well

That case is a monster. Way to dam big. I want small.

[MaadDaawg]

What do you think is lame about it?

I first saw this a month or so ago when it first came out, and thought it was a really cool idea. Never got a good look at it though before this.

First, and least important, no fans so you have extra expense. When I got my HAF I added some fans, but I didn't replace any.

Too small for an EATX mobo

Mainly, because they say it breaks down to a bench table, but it really doesn't, there are still a lot of structures in the way

Joanne is hot though :rofl:

[GFDuke]

I probably have 15 fans around that i could throw in there. I don't own a EATX mobo and i have my Dimastech benchtable so i wouldn't use it for that anyway.

Pros... It's small, but still big enough to fit my Lightning card and still big enough to keep my Thermaltake Frio on the cpu. I tired of the conventional pc case look.

[DOM]

Get it :)

[Witchdoctor]

Unconventional, And a great price too .... :laughing:

I have to agree with you on those points, I was really interested in the case until I saw the fan issue, even though I stil have all my fans around as well :P Even have 2 big ones out of the HAF :laughing:

[MaadDaawg]

I'm thinking that's a WD special order case due to the bolts :laughing: I keep telling you that you should start selling those things online, altough lime green wouldn't really be my color :laughing:

hot pink with glitter is your color right .... :rofl

The case is alright I watched the newegg vid I like that it has the handles to carry it

It's similar like my dd torture rack on how its laid out mb on top psu hd etc at the bottom level

but that case is good to keep my kids out and avoid them breaking anything lol

[Kal-EL]

lol

Hot pink has it's place, but a computer case isn't it ;) Dom, ummm ... all bench tables (or torture racks) are laid out the same :D

Look at Allens the psu is by the mb :P

But I still think its a nice case for the price... If I didn't have a 480 Rad I wouldn't mind having one and use my rack for benchin and not as my main rig :laughing:

Perfect. :thumbsup:

Awsome slogan Duke ........... :thumbsup:

Here are a few basic design concepts Scott

Any design can be either or, differnce is standoffs or Elastmeteric insulation with bolts coming through just enough to grab onto

[Mr.Scott]

You're a craftsman. Some of those are elaborate....and beautiful.

Here's my criteria, I'll leave the design up to you.

Need 2 levels.
Will be primarily running a 120.2 rad water setup.
I'll adapt my chiller to the final product.
Will also use for air and sub ambient colder than my chiller on occasion.
Keep in mind that I change platforms all the time. Everything from slots to current tech.

Pretty basic after looking at some of your others. :laughing:
Something like this would be just fine.

15mm or 20mm spacing on the rad fans ?

What type of chiller do you have ?

[rickss69]

Mr.Scott - Here is one that was in my closet...yours for the price of shipping if you want it. :good:

10/4 ......... :thumbsup:

What type of chiller do you have ?
Custom by me. Made out of a Halsey Taylor water cooler. I can get to -20c now, but the recovery time blows. Only made it on a whim and because it cost me near zero. Would really like a SS, but it's slightly over my skill set. I'm not HVAC oriented at all. I do know a few people that are though.;)
All it takes is money.

[Witchdoctor]

sounds like a pretty cool mod Scott.

You should post a few pics, would like to see it ............ :thumbsup:

[Mr.Scott]

We need to get you a snazzy logo to go with the awesome slogan.
