Oh FEW!!!

so that first post was just made up??

or u edited it but it didnt say so

[willboy]

How much?

[sheeepy the noob]

i have it its great...

duct the window intake straight to your cpu lowered my temps 10 degrees c

[Tophinator]

im planning on using that same case when I build my comp in may.

[ghost2003]

very nice case!

how do i do this?
it sounds like a good idea but then how would i cool the rest of my computer parts

[sheeepy the noob]

umm i ducted mine with an extra psu fan (just get a quite low power 80 mm fan) and a 1 liter bottle of canada dry... i just taped the bottle to the intake fan and it works... im running around 27 degees psu and only 35 for the case...

you might want a fan controller too... i dont have my duct fans on full power because its too much for the hsf to handle...

first i cut the bottle so it would just reach the hsf... then i pulled a fan off an old psu, cut off the edges so it was round, and fit it snug in... this way you have 2 fans pulling air... (2 was too much for my hsf so i will prolly end up upgrading it some day...)

then just tape it to your case fan... its easy cause you dont need to borther curving the duct at all...

in this pic you can see the two fans in the duct...

[sheeepy the noob]

and here you can just see how its taped on...

the green stuff it stretched out uv sleeving...

[tim1477]

I don't think it said it in there already, what kind of case is that? How much is it? I'm starting to look around for computer parts, more than likely my first build is comming up soon :)

Great case... wish I could get one.

[sinnjin]

Wow...that case looks awesome!! That might be the one I get now!

[nocturnx]

Yea its a very sharp case.

[Jaggannath]

Yeah, not bad, there's a few ones around that I'd prefer though
Seen the alien ones??

[FLG]

I have it but after awhile i added so many components to an already pretty small case well the case isnt small, just cramped. Temps were going a bit higher then i like. I switched over to a Xaser-III and it is the best case i have used, 7 fans all silent, and plenty of room.

[TrippMyTrigger]

I know some of these posts are a few months old now, but I have some vital info in reply to some of them. "punked," if you have already gotten that case, maybe you can add to this. I looked at that case... considered it because I like the way it looks and it was fairly cheap. CHEAP being the key word. The saying "you get what you pay for" is true is true in this case (pun intended LOL). I saw one in person and glad that I didn't get it.

It looks like it was painted from a spray can! Only thing that looks good about that case is the pictures you see online, and the lighting concept on the front is really great. If you can afford a little more money I will be glad to help you look for a much better case, as well as hook you up with the people that I get mine from.

I was a little leary of them at first because I didn't get an email confirmation or call on my order. So I called a couple days later (after the weekend to make sure they had time to process) and got a very sincere apology for no call or email as "someone should have called you, the power supply was on backorder and the truck just came in today."

Satisfied me. Couple days go by and still no confirmation so I called to get a tracking number and then another very sincere apology. This time, "the fork truck smashed the case unloading the pallet, so what I will do is upgrade to another case (looked at it online while I was talking to him) and also upgrade the power supply and PROMISE to have it packed and sent today." They both arrived the next morning.

I say all of this to say this... if people are willing to make things right in that kind of situation, those are the kind of people I want to do business with. I got $260 worth of case/psu for the original price of $175! And only took like one day longer than I had anticipated.

Any way... hit me up if you want help in deciding what case to get. Peace out!

[demandred55]

I have recently purchased this case.

This is my first build so I am certainly no expert on cases but I have opened a few up in my time, mostly regular, stock-type cases. I don't have any complaints so far.

It arrived in good condition. The finish was fine. All the parts seem to be there.

I'll check back in once I get done putting the thing together but as of right now I am satisfied.

I am considering a new psu, but I think I'll give this one a try first. I will only have 1 hd, a cd-rom/r/rw/dvd-rom combo drive w/ a secondary cd-rom for occasional copies, radeon 9700 pro vid card powered by a p4 2.8c w/512x2 DDR400 ram on a abit-is7-e mobo. There will be no overclocking and I don't intend to beat on it just to see how much it will take before it blows. Just for giggles though... Suggestions on a better, affordable psu would be appreciated.

TrippMyTrigger: I know you are tyring to be helpful, and it is appreciated, but don't you think you're comparing apples to oranges when you try to compare this case ($55 w/psu) to the one you purchased? You're right that you get what you pay for but in computers you can always spend more to get better. You have to draw the line somewhere (or most do anyway) and if you say "Well, it's just a little more but it will be that much better" to too many upgrades, you'll blow your budget in a heartbeat.

:) Cricket

[demandred55]

Thanks Cricket!

Looking at Fortron Source and Sparkle Power, I notice that the low end models for each company appear to actually be the same units. They both have model number like ATXxxxGU. Are these any good or do you have to step up to the next price range? If not, are they really any better than the one that came with my case (says TURBOLINK, model no. LC-A350ATX

[demandred55]

Also, on my search for a good psu, I have noticed that many come with 2 fans. Does this mean modifying the case or does the second fan face down, into the case?

This one here (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-103-921&depa=0) would go very nicely with this case, I would think. I'm just not sure about spending the extra dough.

[Redfallon]

someone correct me if I am wrong, but isn't a psu with LC-XXXX a deer psu? If that's who it is made by you may want to get a cheap reliable one. Seems those have more problems than any others. At least on here it seems that way.

**edit** Tripp, just out of curiosity, who did you get your case from? Always like to hear recommendations on good companies that we can all benefit from.

ummm so should i get it or not im a little confused because i got a lot of responses saying its a GREAT case but then i got a responce from someone who actually BOUGHT it saying its really crappy and then someone else says its not amazing but for the price its fine.


A little help here plz!!!
:confused:

[sheeepy the noob]

i have the case and love it... was my frist build so theres not much to mod to the actual case and all but still a perdy case nonetheless... and the led's are my new night lights...

won't a soda bottle cause static?

[Punked Out Comp]

Can I just cut a 120mm hole out of the case window and put in a 120mm fan, then duct the 80mm fan to the cpu.

Also, can i by any chance put two power supplies in my case, 1 thats about maybe 100watts or even less for all the lights and fans and another 400 watt 1 for all the other componets?

[ComPman]

looks nice but wouldnt space be a problem.
i would get a nicer bigger one, just incase u add more harddrives.
just my 2 cent

[JPMiller]

you can fit up to 5 hard drives with just the stock bays in this case...
This is a great case! Ive purchased 4 of them in the past month and the only complaint I could possibly have is that the finish is so shiny and well done that it picks up all fingerprints... have to wipe it down weekly to keep it clean...
its roomy, well made and is really cool looking in my opinion... The Psu is total garbage but otherwise it is a very good case.

[the hot rod]

its good just dont try to oc on that u can get this if u want to oc http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-133-107&depa=1

:) Cricket

[MaLfUnCtIoN]

i have an x-dreamer 2. very cool looking when i go to lans. now i just gotta make the quality of the parts inside match the look of the case. another words, lots of dough

[JPMiller]

the hot rod...
"its good just don’t try to oc on that"
Why in the world would you say that?
You can over clock in any case out there as long as it has "adequate" cooling and a good HSF and quality components...
The case is only a small part of the equation... and that is as good a case as any as far as airflow, stock and in potential...
What more could you want?
Fan spots in front, side, top and 2 in back...
You don’t always have to fork over $200 for a case
:rolleyes:
