Purolator are FAMOUS for exactly what you just posted. I remember one day I had a package about to be delivered. The driver pulled up, looked out his window to see my lights were off, and just kept on driving. I was actually watching him out the window and called them to turn around and come back.

Sweet! do build shots Dr.B ! looking forward to seeing that rig!!

Cable management is excellent. You will really like it for that. I considered lighting but it does not have a clear side panel. Also - A friend of mine placed an order so I got him to throw in a 200mm fan for me as I am going to mount it on top in the 2nd space.

Heads up tho: fans are proprietary - you can work around this but its a pain in the rear.

The only fan that isnt is the rear 120mm. I had to use a dremel on my 200mm coolermaster fan to make it fit the side panel mount. So order any needed/wanted fans with it. ie: the front 140mm

I'm replacing all the 120's with YL black and red fans. I won't need the front 140 as there's the 2 120's up there anyway and the 200 will probably be pulled out and left empty and I'll setup my TRUE in push-pull with a couple more 120's with the exaust going up. If I need top fans I'll just macgyver myself up a bracket for standard 120's.

It should make a nice Ati themed case given what I have to work with

Wonder if I have any Ati case badges still kicking around...

Just added the corsair 120GB drive and imaged it.

good lord. Speed just got redefined. Its insane.

At first to guage the speed I did a windows install just to see how it performed.

It flew threw the install once the files were expanded in seconds. Literally. lol

If you dont have one, save your pennies. You will not regret the purchase.

Steve-o

I really had no idea how fast it speeds things up. I wish they were much cheaper, I would get much larger capacity ones and use all the spinning drives for paper weights lol

when I ran programs , games you name it - things that would take a little bit are now done in a blink, and I mean a blink lol

loving it!

Sweet! Love hearing this. I still think the ole platters will be good for downloads and photos.

So did you have to install windows again? Or can you image it to the new drive and get away with just that?
