Hey there mate great review!! that was awesome you just sold me the case! I had a question towards you if you owned this case as part of your main rig, where would you install fans, would you install some on side panel? I thought 2 on top and 2 on side panel is that too much? because i wanted a 1:1 ratio of in and out so 2 top and 1 rear for out and 2 side and 1 front for in
Will the Asus Crosshair IV formula fit in this case? I'm using the Corsair Obsidian 800D but need to buy a cheap case 'cause I'm going to a LAN-party far from home so it needs to be light and look normal/ugly so no1 will try to steal it or components. If it does not, would you mind recommending a good travel case that fits my mobo and a HD6970? Thanks!
I was wondering how on earth you managed to get that build so cheap (I also build computers as freelance work), until I realized that your client will be using the on-board graphics. I'm not sure why you chose to go with the Corsair 550 though, it isn't terribly future-proof. Other than that though, fantastic build, especially your cable work, it has inspired me!
Hey man thanks for the feedback I always appreciate it. Glad it helped! And as a side-note I chose the Corsair because the unit is just so damn reliable. I've used it in like 10 different systems, and it remains the ONLY power supply to give me no issues whatsoever. And it was super cheap at the time :D
ok just a quick question i have the same case and all you can check out my newest vid if you want but where is the black 140mm fan that comes with that case when you buy it????????? Um yeah its the top exhaust fan BTW And um yeah i agree with you on this case COOLER MASTER FTW on cable management is awesome on that case.
How difficult would it be to change the front fan on this? I want a green led fan but with the switch it seems like its going to be a different than a normal fan install
i'm sorry to tell this but this is the basic version, the advanced has standard a 140mm fan on the top, has al the 5.25" bays screwless (you only 2) and has a serial-ata dock at the top your's doest have this
Haha it's already been activated on one computer so it's useless on others but that is certainly a good point haha I might annotate blurr it. Great catch!
@Fencefeet I call MS, tell them that I upgraded 3 main hardware components, and they give me a new activation key :) Yours doesn't get shut down though, so not a huge problem. Good to know your using licensed software, if your making money, you really should not be pirating.
Haha I know true that, but its better than nothing--the annotation is more kinda just insurance that youtube doesn't get pissed that I'm deliberately giving out some key or something. Ultimately though, my client is in no danger of having his OS deactivated, so that's what matters to me. Microsoft has stuff in place for this; if not you could just grab any friends random legit product key and do that haha.
terrific cable management for a non modular corsair power supply
i am truly impressed. I was considering the Antec 300, but I've heard that can be too tight and mushy with lack of cable management and air moviement, so I'll shell out 30 bucks more and get this one instead when i decide to build a new pc in the nearest future.
I wonder why nobody did already come with case, in which you just plug sata and power cables to some panel and then just put the hard drives in, without attaching any cables everytime you manipulate with the drives.
Dude CM 690 II Advanced or Corsair 650D?
