Anybody using the mountain mods u2-ufo horizon case?

[Puffnstuff]

I saw it over at mountain mods and fell in love with it instantly. Finally a case that has the room I'm looking for and isn't all cramped up inside. If you're using this case I'd love to hear from you and if you've never seen one then feast your eyes on this baby. http://www.mountainmods.com/co...o-horizon-c-21_70.html

Pros:
horrizontal mounted platform can take ANY weight air sink, unless its 50lbs.
Has a TON of room
Can easily mount 2 PA's up front.
Has a Ton of room.
Watercoolers Dream.
GET THE CYO OPTION.

Cons:
Once you start watercooling, you'll run out of room.
Its a BOX.
Its kinda ugly, cuz its a BOX.
Did i mention its a SQUARE BOX?

You know I contacted mountain mods and asked them about the case. It comes as a kit that you must assemble, doesn't have any accessories like drive bays or fans and doesn't even have a connectors for front usb or firewire. Then I started looking around and found the lian li pc-343 and I think that I like it even better. Yes I think that the big square is sexy and I can build a x58 water cooled system in it quite nicely. The lian li drive bay adaptors for the hd's have cooling fans on the end of them which I like. Several vendors offers mods to the case so you can personalize it which I will do when the time comes.

Well, Lian-Li's are generally really nice. Wish you luck.

I would love a HUGE Ascension for water. That's a beast.

:laugh: and a standard case is half of a box, but elongated...half of a rectangular box,

I like the Ascension myself or extended version.
As Aigo says though must get the CYO as its modular meaning that you can rotate the panels.

The only downfall to the mm cases is that you have to buy every accessory for them including power buttons. I think they should be sold for half the price giving that you pay almost as much for all the accessories you will need.:|

I thought about drawing up some plans and having a local shop build one; bet it would be cheaper.

Also about the no front panel connections; Just get a 5.25" one; have more options anyways. I dont even use one. the only thing I may use is usb; I can get a usb/card reader to use
