Opinions on this case please

[Mt_Goat]

I was browsing and came across this case (http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=1&submit=Go&description=N82E16811180019) and thought it looed like it had potential. Could I get some feedback to see If I'm overlooking anything. I was considering changing the feet so it was a little higher and putting another 120mm fan in the bottom.

Looks pretty nice...I think a little modification on the front and swaping out the 2 front 80's for a single 120 and it'd do real good at keeping your rig cool.

What I've found is that before I modified my SLK-3700AMB (1x 120mm intake, 1x120mm exhaust, both 90cfm), it's cooling was crap. 2 120mm fans just can't push enough air through a case; the heat tended to get trapped between the power supply and the optical drives.

That case, on the other hand, should not be a problem, since it has the two fans above the PS to remove the heat buildup.

It looks fine to me.

Seems a bit on the pricy side to me, but thats just me... :rolleyes:

Seems quite expensive to me also.

I'm gunna jump on the bandwagon and say "too expensive"

Personal opinion:

Don't care for windows
Don't care for front vinyl covers

But for cooling, looks like it has potential to be great.

Oh!! you just gave me a good idea! thanks!

When you compare the performance potential with the competiton and the fact that it appears to be a quality aluminum case the price really isn't that high. I read all the reviews on it and it sounds like it is very well built and has a real good fininsh. I won't need a PSU as I have a top quality unit already.

where is the vinyl??? I see clear plexiglass on the front.
and there is also a non window version for $10 less.

Here's a small picture from my next case. It's an old case but still one of the best in the world. 9 fans, mb tray, both doors swinging, 2 psu while one can be ups if you want. How often do you see a mainboard tray in server towers these days?

How do you think this one looksa for water? I am wanting to get a new case B4 going to water or at the same time because I really don't feel like messing with this antec 10xx case for that project. If I could find an aluminum case that was full tower size with 2 120's in and 2 120's out like GHoosdum is ranting about I would be in heaven.

Larry, it's a watercoolers dream. lsevald has 2 of them i think and he knows how to fill a case if you know what i mean.

$138 directly from them. I would buy this case over anything else actually.

vinyl short for polyvinyl chloride (PVC). I just say vinyl cause its easier than plexiglass, but since I had to write up this explanation for why I said vinyl I might as well use plexiglass from now on :P

I don't know if they use plexiglass or clear PVC, my guess is PVC since it is alot cheaper....
