Unhappy Who made X-Dreamer Case?


I finally got my new system up and running and now I have another question, Who made the X-Dreamer case? I cant find anything for Turbocase in Google and I want to contact the manufacturer. I think I killed my temperature probe when I sandwhiched it between the cpu and the heatsink. It wont read anything, its stuck on L. I just want to buy a new one and be done with it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

You put the temperature probe between the heatsink and the CPU? I'm surprised the CPU core didn't crack. The probe should never but placed between the heatsink and the CPU core...it either just touches the side of the core, on the heatsink near the center where the CPU is making contact (the fin side, not the flat side) or is installed on the underside of the CPU.

I don't know who makes that case.

Its sold here for 65$, and ive noticed that the x-dreamer case sold at newegg look different from the ones sold at xp cases, i have the x dreamer that looks like the one on xp cases not newegg. The one at newegg looks different and it also has the front audio that connects to the back on the mobo while the one i have and the one on xp cases connecs straight to the motherboard not to the audio jacks on the back. The window also looks a bit smaller and so do the fan grills also look different.

It looks really like anice case - the X-Dreamer. The USB slots on the X-dreamer are usually covered in pictures and I think can be opened. But really, 65 dollars for a goodlooking case + window, USB2/Sound drives is a really nice deal.
Has anyone resolved where it is the least expensive with shipping and handling? I'm really on a tight budget and need ever bit of money.
Thanks - kram

Well the x dreamer is a steel case but its as light as an aluminum case only 19 pounds so it souldent be that much for shipping.

Blacksheep2294 Hey, I did the same to my temperature probe. I'm running a P-4 so I thought I could do it. Wrong!

The blue light's pretty. I bought three of them. Varying quality. The first I got locally and was really good at attention to detail. The second got changed. The third a bit more changed and less thumbscrews. The front imatation screws are now just buttons. I guess a few people tried to unscrew them, so they changed. But the last one put some support under the power supply.
