:cry I want one!! :crybaby

(I really like the X900!!!)

Meh, way too much money IMHO for what you get. The only thing that I really like is the filtered front intakes. It beats my kludged intake fans with home air cleaner filters in there. Anyways, I like my CoolerMaster 690 and with the extra $400 I could get an i7 960.:drool

I hope I didn't rain too hard on your parades! :-D

 

eek:eek!!!!

Way too expensive! I don't think they are even particularly good cases, yes they look good on the inside, but i think they are ugly on the outside. I have to admit they have good features and are big enough for a nuclear power supply and a fair few TB's in the HDD slots, but just not for me.

 

I wouldn't mind one but I would never pay that for it, it would have to come with liquid cooling for me to pay that :-D

The Antec's 900's etc are pretty much the same for much less money.

 

Not always, but i know what you mean.

(My current case, which is aluminium, cost £35!)

 

I would recommend and Antec 300. It is the little cousin of the 900 but it is plenty big enough inside with 6 drive bay slots and, this is a killer, a filtered front intake with 2 tool less removable 120MM front fan bays, a 120MM side fan bay, a 120MM back fan and a 140MM top fan. It will hold a 8800GT comfortably and I love mine!:drool

 

I'm not sure if you meant to quote my post, nevertheless I would agree with you with a relatively short card like the 8800 the Antec 300 is fine. I can't find the model # on this Antec, which I liked because of the screwless mounting of opticals etc and a removable 4 HDD cage! However, as you can see my long GTX260 is somewhat hampered if I had the cage in there and I didn't feel like taking a jig-saw to the cage.

Good point. Yes I did mean to quote your pose as I was referring you to the filtered frint inlets although I did not make that obvious. Sorry!

 

I like the LianLi X900 (linked to in my first post), but I do agree with all the above posts: even if I had the money, I wouldn't buy the case. I'd keep my current case (NZXT Beta Evo, got free shipping, $10 bundle discount when purchased with a hard drive that my friend needed, $10 promo discount, $10 mail-in-rebate, total price was only $29.99!) and spend the money on a 2nd video card for SLI and new PSU to power the SLI GPUs.


@ augie - I took a very close look at the pic you linked to at ImageShack.... correct me if I'm wrong, but the CPU heatsink looks like it is caked full of built-up dust and crud. You might want to remove it and blast that crap outta there with an air compressor or something!

 

Ya, I'm :-o at that, bad eyes. Plus I'm a heavy smoker so 'crud' is right!:cry 5 year old fan. I'll be stripping this one next month for the GTX260 and the PSU to use for my i7 and keep it for a back-up. Jeez that looks fugly!:-D Thanks.
