AMK OCD Cases? What do you think?

[Crovakiet]

Hi,

Well I am still looking into FORCED AIR cooling premodded cases online, and stumbled onto this case which is the OCD 3344 24" Full Tower Case which at this AMK Computer Services Store (canada)

http://www.amkcomputers.bc.ca/24_ocd.htm

As I have already looked into other premodded cases from different online sites such as 3dcool.com and coolerguys.com I have found these reasons to buy this case unless you guys can come up with a better online site that sells a very similar configuration...

Reasons for me to buy this case:

1) Cheaper than a 3dcool Tornado 2000 Full tower
2) Premodded with blowholes(I dont have time to cut myself these, nor the knowhow or the tools)
3) Has 2 4"(120 mm supposedly on tweak3d.net site) Blowholes blowing in/out on side of case onto agp/pci/cpu
4) Has 3" chimney exhaust blowhle at top of case, and 3" fan intake in lower front of case

Reasons no tto buy case:

1) Shipping from Canada is 55$ with UPS Ground
2) Will take like 1-2 weeks for case to get here
3) ResellerRatings has mixed ratings on this online store based in Canada(but after looking at 3dcools rating and other sites, the ratings are similar to others...)

The features that I wanted for a premodded Full Tower Case, was 5-6 5.25 external bays, 2 external 3.5 bays, and like 2-3 internal 3.5 bays. I also wanted 2 blowholes(CUT) at leeast 120 mm fans on the side blowing into the case right onto the video card, and cpu. I also wanted a chimney exhaust cut on top of case(80mm or 120 fan on top of case), and a lower front intake fan at least 80mm, and also a rear exhaust (80mm or 120 mm) cpu fan on back of case....this OCD 3344 case from AMK satisfied most of those needs, but I would like some input, and maybe you guys know of some other places online that sell premodded full tower cases with the specificatioons i have stated above. My budget is about 300$ (with or without power supply) shipped for a premodded full tower case, so any input would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,

Kiet

I have purchased three different cases from AMK. The one that I have now is the 24" OCD 3344. I have it lined with v-block sound insulation and both side blow holes blowing outward. The case is of good construction with no sharp edges. This is one big case. I have a cd, cd-rw, fans galore, two hdd, baybus, fanbus, a watercooling setup, and four neon lights....and lots room to spare.

I wouldnt hesitate to buy from them again. If you have any specific questions about them or the case, PM or e-mail me (or post it here). Shipping is a little cheaper, and the wait isnt that bad, if you go postal air.
