My case side panel arches outwards and is warped so it is difficult to slide on due to this problem? Also the screws on the back wont go in because of misaligned holes. Does anyone else have these problems?
I'd just like to add that you should not use side painel to exhaust. It will compromise air cooling with you are using stock coolers. Only use it with tower cooling. Also there is a lot of debate about cooling upside down. I think there is no problem as long as you are using a fan at the bottom that vents on larger video cards.
I don't think it's as noisy as my OLD alienware. I'm not a computer engineer, but I know more than an average person. I'm running a (idk the names exactly right now) GA-EX58-UD4P motherboard with an I7 processor, some BA power source and fan for the processor, 1TB Samsung HD and a 120GB Solid State, an nVidia Video Card for 1080P and HD viewing that can support 2 screens, and some other stuff for less than 1700...ANYWAYS, the computer case has a lot of space; ONE THING, get 2.5 adapters!!!
In my last post, I said my whole set-up was less than 1700...It's supposed to last me all five of my years in college...And re-stating, it's not noisy at all!
i have the bigger brother and the inside is definitely roomy and with all of the included fans the airflow is amazing, definitely worth the moeny for an enthusiast
owner of this case and quite satisfied with it. don't expect it to be quiet when you add additional fans to it, but trust me, you can still sleep with it on at night.
You will be happy with either one, I chose the 922 myself because it is an inch wider, so I can comfortably fit my huge Mugen 2 CPU heatsink and still have space for a large side fan.
i go the CM Sniper case its also great for a folding at home (F@H)rig,lots of room to fill up will good hardware to get some good PPD :) When my rig is idle I use it to F@H for team HardwareCanucksForum ( 54196) GO CANADA :) looking for a team.please join all welcome.
this looks alot better than the 932 and the storm scout i was going for,my main question would have to be if i can use the 200mm side fan with a zalman 9700 in the case..
Unfortunately we do not have a Zalman 9700 to test with, however we did test clearance with a Thermalright Ultra 120 (thought it didn't make it into the final cut). There was about 5cm+- of of room, and the 200MM fans only eat up 3cm.
The Zalman 9700 at 12.4cm should have no problems!
There are meshed filters in the front of the chassis, but none of the other fans have anything of the sort unfortunately. There is no easy to remove filter for the front fan either - Have to take the whole front panel off to clean it out.
meh so the antec 902 is the way to go i see some reviews and it got dust filters and good airflow dust is an issue to me sience i don't have time to clean my pc every two weeks 8(
Interesting - I hadn't been aware of that initially. Nice for them to provide both options. I personally prefer the side window myself. Now if only they had given it a black interior.
sould i buy this one or the cm 690 ii adveced?

No. Install the PSU with the fan pointed down. In my country you can find dust filters for PSU and all other "holes".

@damon323 well,you can add a 200mm on the side
josiprietkovic 1 year ago
Yes it's better if you have bigger graphics cards because the side fan just throws the cold air into the GPU card and it cools it down.

Without filters you only need to clean it every 2-3 months or so (max)
I only clean my case out every 6 months or so and even then the dust buildup isn't all that great
