Not my biggest case, it's heavy as all get out. DO NOT DROP ON YOUR FOOT OR SMASH INTO IT! It's basically a bunch of industrial aluminum and steel with sharp edges.
Image

Don't do what I did, and take the front off first before you start peeling the sticky crap off. As well it left a residue on the I/O port cover (lighter fluid fixes that easy enough)
Image

Tt Tsunami case on the left.

INCOMING BEEF! That is how the power cables are supposed to line up!
Image

This is how they don't, it's too long. If I plug all 4 in it bends the ends, and I'm sure it would break, gonna DEMAND Corsair send me a new proper length cable.

Finished cables in the back, all nutty like!

And in the front...who cares about the back!
Image

Since i'm never going to see the top of my case, i put some foam up there and tied it in to cut down on noise.

Under the desk open and closed. I'm basically keeping it pointed this way, it's a side desk I don't sit at.

The LED on the top is white, which is cool.

Holy Crap! The M3A32-MVP looks like a mATX board in that case.

Several reviews say the simplest wire routing makes it look like you are a pro. You're case in point. Very clean indeed. Lots of room left for a mini-bar fridge inside that thing.

Filler' fulla fans and grab an NZXT sentry touch screen with optional bar fridge temp controller lol Where's the hot bikini model showin off the goods? lol

Hows the noise level ? 1337 case clean build way to go !

I don't know what the noise level would have been without that "foam" on the top, but it's no louder than before.

I like that there is a fan blowing up from the bottom of the case into the video card. Only thing is there are 3 case fans that use the motherboard fan power headers, and I need one to power the fan on my raid card, so the fan that should be blowing onto my hard drive isn't. I'd rather they just have used molex power connectors. Also the PCI power cords for my video card wern't long enough to go under, so, like most others, I had to go over top, blame the PSU for that one!

This case will last me until the ATX standard goes out the window.

Yup, it's a grill :P

the 6 -pin for your vid card couldnt go out the back then back in where your sata cables go out? Also grab a simple molex to 3-pin adapter. if you dont have one I may have one here kicking around if you need it Steve-O

Post subject:  Re: Obsidian gaming box (Black Jesusbox)
the 6-pin cables for the PCI-E are about 6" too short to go around the proper way. If I ever have to open it up and do stuff I'll try using the molex-PCI-E converters, I got some laying around.

I don't think I've even seen a 3pin to Molex adapter (and I know I don't have one). If you got one, I'll pay ya a beer for it.

I know what they look like, I'm pretty sure I've never actually owned one, hence not seen it.

I just put an order in at MB for the Corsiar H50, I totally forgot about after all these months.

Yeah, that would be super cool!

I'd like to see the pic of your 400$ case in a closet doing nothing for 2 months.
