Most likely if I can find one without having to dish out a kidney on the black market to afford it, my next case:

check out reviews of this case. So much room it comes with an optional sleeping bag so you can use this as a tent.

Whenever I see a case with that many fans I wonder why the person doesn't just use watercooling instead. I know there are some valid reasons, such as ease of transportation for LAN Parties, but when you get down to it the specialized case + fan's probably aren't *that* much cheaper than a standard case + wc'ing gear which would cool better and be a lot quieter at the same time.

Out of curiosity how much is that case?

In this 'case' the tower has filters to catch the dirt also you can power off all fans on the front, side and top - all are also variable speed and variable color( 5 position switch for it)

Keep in mind that fans of this size on very low rpm can easily outdo an 80mm running full tilt. I dont see having to run any of these fans past the lowest setting cause of the airflow and the sheer number of fans( also 3 on top and two further ports on the rear for more). The only thing that I noticed was that theres a metal grill on the inside front that would defeat the purpose to an extent of having those fans, airflow would be obstructed - nothing a lil mod wouldnt fix. lol

One thing I did want to mention was how the motherboard can "snap" into place with special mounting screws. I would allow you to pop off one side of the board, lift it for cable management then snap it back in place. Neat little idea.

I havent researched the cost yet but I am guessing its a finger off either hand and your first born or left testicle.

well not everyone is going to like it. I am referring to the 1000 model. I also just looked up a case by Corsair called the Obsidian. Alot of thought also went into that case. Has some unique features that I have never seen. one from the many is a removable plate directly behind your cpu to make it easier to change heatsinks for the type that requires a new backplate. It also has the most ports I have ever seen for liquid cooling/ cable management - with a rubber insert to make the cables even less noticeable.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Frankly, I think that case is fugly and uses way to many LED fans, but there's a lot of people that think the TT Shark is fugly, but I love mine - once I got rid of the LED fan :twisted: [rant]THERE ARE OTHER COLOURS THAN BLUE FFS![/rant]

I'm sure a season pass at Reflections will come cheaper and may have as many disco lights :lol:

besides that. You can get a self contained water/tec setup known as a Freezone Elite.

These self contained units are a dream and will keep your jazz cool much better.


Hope this helps

I like blue tho. It works for me. blue eyes..blue balls..blue lights in my tower lol

this month's issue of CPU has a neat "Dark Carbon" mod. Completely custom. Check out a photo and read on how its designed and built. This guy took his time. Google it up.

I like the look of this much more but it would definitely cost a lot as well. My current desktop case is an Antec Sonata 3. Heavy, quiet, relatively plain looking and only $100 with an included 500W EarthWatt PSU. :wink:
