Good to see someone going for something "unbranded" its a brilliant case,cable management could be better or are some of the cables to short?

Yep, its an amazing budget case. The cables are pretty short, hence the CM be as good as it possibly could be lol and I didnt realise that the fans that where labeled as 3/4 pin, would have an horrible molex hanging off them lol, but, oh well :)

you can run that cable down the back of the psu and up the boar, there is a small gap on the gfx card next to the pci ex port that it will fit past.

see how mine is routed past the cards on the left/

To do reefers suggestion is only a case of unplugging the graphics cards and routing the cable in the little gap you see at the bottom of the card : ]

Nice clean build and plenty of power to enjoy the newest games.

Also your case is proving a hit with the UK TPU'ers :toast: You've started something, lol

Its the same case NZXT use as a base in a lot of their own cases you see : ]

:) it is an incredible case for the price. It certainly looks like it should cost more.

Well he has a good eye for cases. I wish I had seen his original posts..........it would have saved me hunting for a good, but cheap case and finding that one in the end anyway lol :)

lmao
he's the one who made me buy it
it's such an awesome case
i'm bumming it right now ;D
build quality is good (well.. better than what i'm used to)
and the inside looks awesome!
oh and i've got room for about 6 80mm fans on the side (screwing them into any of the holes :D)
the same goes for the top really, if you don't have a 120mm fan, you can still screw an 80mm to the back, side or top (if you have the right size screw)

I always prefer 120mm fans over 80mm ones ;) Not as loud and look 'meatier' :)

That case is simply full of w1n.

I wish they sold those ever here, I'd grab one in a second just to have it as a spare !

At £25, it makes sense to have one as a spare ;)

I think 80mm fans look out of place in nice gaming cases :)
