erm . . . lets say £100. I wouldnt mind a full tower too, but nothing tacky.

MoonPig · May 13, 2009

This or this or this?

lol.

alexp999 · May 13, 2009

Not just about budget.

Need your requirements as to what the case has to do. Thats how I decided on the sniper

MoonPig · May 13, 2009

My 'Case' allows for standing of monitor, speakers, mouse, keyboard and storage

lol

alexp999 · May 13, 2009

Yeah but rubbish if you try and move it

Deleted member 24505 · May 13, 2009

What about this kyle-
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/164848

its very stylish

alexp999 · May 13, 2009

Zalman stuff always seem like such a rip off. A great start then just meh. I mean I love the cable management holes on that, and that, but then it just a bit meh, especially from the outside.

And for that price you could buy a Storm Sniper

kyle2020 · May 13, 2009

lol moon.

Right, what do I want . . . Plenty of room. Plenty of fan placements / airflow. room for internal H20 set up (when and if)

NOT TACKY! hate shitty looking cases lol. That scout looks gorgeous though . . .

alexp999 · May 13, 2009

Size restrictions?

Fan requirements?

Window Panel?

Filters?

Full Tower, mid Tower, Jumbo Mid Tower (Cm storm are Jumbo mid Towers

)

kyle2020 · May 13, 2009

Size wise, apart from height, as close to the 690, if not less please, it sruggles to fit on my desk as it is.

Fan requirements - at least an intake and an exhaust. lol.

Side window - not required but nice to have one.

filters - please.

full tower, mid tower, large mid tower, etc.

alexp999 · May 13, 2009

As for struggling to fit you mean depth?

kyle2020 · May 13, 2009

yeah - looking at the 932, it does seem to fit the bill . . .

alexp999 · May 13, 2009

932 has no filters.

be prepared to clean out that beast weekly.

Oh and it will probably fall off the front of your desk if the Cm690 only just fits :ohwell:

kyle2020 · May 13, 2009

Your right alex. ffs.

alexp999 · May 13, 2009

Cm Storm Sniper!

(Needs less depth of desktop than the CM690)

kyle2020 · May 13, 2009

Too expensive. :ohwell:

alexp999 · May 13, 2009

£120. Thats no expensive, if you can reach £100. Dont forget you can make some money selling the case and fans like I have.

I love the fact that one push of a button on the top and all the lights go out, one twist of a knob and its either silent or extreme cooling.

I could go on....

I'm glad I pushed the boat out.

kyle2020 · May 14, 2009

IGNORE THE FACT IM ON OCUK! THEY JUST HAVE A LARGE SELECTION! I IN NO WAY ENDORSE, WILL EVER USE OR RECOMMEND THIS AWFUL E-TAILER!

http://overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-157-LL&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=

Nice case but damn expensive.

And alex, stop it . . .

Did you sell your 690 in the end?

Scrizz · May 14, 2009

get a 932 and make your own filters

alexp999 · May 14, 2009

Certainly did. Now to carry on

Fan Controller controls every fan in the system from one knob, set on a beautiful aluminium backed I/O panel, with 4 USb ports, FW, ESATA. A big easy to use and access power switch.
Gun metal paint finish, 2 x 200mm fans, with seperate controls for LEDs, black painted base and top
Removable HDD cage
Side mesh panel, which is also filtered
Feet positioning allows a huge case to take up a small footprint, adjustable feet
Hole in the back of the mobo tray (i LOVED this when I got my Dark Knight! )
Extra LED switches allows easy mod to control cathodes from same switch
Can have a side 200mm fan AND a huge cooler
Proper Carry handles
No crappy plastic mesh to cut out
Front fan filter is removable without opening up the case, or unscrewing anything, removing the fan, etc.
Excellent cable management, profiled side panel to allow room for cables to sit behind tray without being crushed

I'll think of more for ym next post

kyle2020 · May 14, 2009

Too big scrizz, my 690 overhangs by an inch and a half, so anything bigger is a no - no

alexp999 · May 14, 2009

You seen my post above!

Footprint depth is only 330mm :laugh:

But from say a wall (giving 100mm "breathing space"), you need 550mm

kyle2020 · May 14, 2009

Im ignoring it alex

Im thinking . . . Antec 900 . . .

alexp999 · May 14, 2009

wtf? Why you want to go back to that old thing? :confused:
