This case ROCKS!
- Pros: Beautiful case. Small, light, the carrying handle is probably THE reason why this one caught my eye. Although the glowing, etched, front panel didn't hurt either. :-) This case has room for a pair of 10.5" graphics cards with a simple mod to the hard drive cage (drill new holes in the bottom to move it over”).
- Cons: Too EXPENSIVE!!! In its stock form, airflow/heat can be a problem. But if the right components are used, the heat is manageable. The case is designed for the Silverstone ST1000 or larger power supply. Because the ST1000 has a GIANT 135mm fan in the bottom that sits just above the processor heat sink. It exhausts the heat from the processor fan out the back very nicely. You also need to buy the Silverstone RL-FX121 fan (also available here on Newegg) to put in the rear of this box. It mounts right in perfectly and it helps significantly in venting heat from the MoBo NB and SB chips. The front left edge has a large empty area, that I nibbled a round hole out and install a fan and grill that pulls fresh air into the front for exhaust out the back (via the power supply fan and the FX121).
Why bother with all this work you ask? Cuz the finished product is one BAD “little box” that EVERYONE stops to look at. ;-)
- Other Thoughts: It took a small amount of relatively simple modding, but was WELL WORTH THE EFFORT!
Have recently updated mine to the following configuration:
Silverstone Strider ST1000 supply
Silverstone RL-FX121 rear exhaust fan
ASUS Rampage II Gene
Intel I7 920 (stock speed)
12gb of Corsair Dominator 1600
2 EVGA GTX 285 Graphics cards (stock speed)
May try to UL a video later...
Great looking case
- Pros: -Great looking box; nice design and feels professionally made
-Feels sturdy, with a solid handle
-Removable HDD cage
-Includes a firewire/usb/audio connector which is nice, and those wires come wrapped which saves me from wrapping them myself.
- Cons: -No motherboard tray (it's not supposed to have one, but it would be nice)
-HDD cage comes loose easily, even with it being fully tightened.
-Price
-Only 1 5.25" drive bay
- Other Thoughts: I replaced the lighting to do a red theme instead of the traditional blue. It was a fun project.
This Case
- Pros: Portable with nicely constructed handle.
Aesthetically pleasing look.
Case works well for a low heat profile duo core, or a lower end quad core processor.
- Cons: This case is not capable of providing decent cooling with mid to higher end components without significant modification and therefor would only make a mediocore lan party/gamer computer.
Low processor heatsink/fan clearance.
Any processor output over 95 Watts is too much heat output for the case design.
PSU & processor cooler compete for airflow.
Not worth the listed price. Only worth a fraction of it.
One nearly has to remove the mobo to change out the hard drives, or at least all components attached to the board.
- Other Thoughts: If looking for a decent SFF lan party/gaming case get the SILVERSTONE SG04B-H Black Aluminum panels, SECC structure MicroATX Mid Tower instead.
I spent months trying to rectify the heat related issues before giving up on it and deciding to rebuild from the ground up. Of course having an extreme processor in this thing doesn't help :)
