AOpen HX08

Hey

This is the only good full tower I can source in New Zealand. I want a In-Win or something similar but due to the current NZ to USA exchange rate I would have to folk out almost four times the case cost plus overseas shipping :|

Are there any nagging problems with the HX08? I want to add as many fans as possible.
I know that you have to side the entire side panel off to remove it but that is fixed by bending the first two steel clips back (Correct me if I?m wrong).

Thanks
 
The only problems I found with my case were:


  • -the number of screws I had to remove to get inside (changed them to thumbscrews)
    -the noisy PS fan (swapped it for a more powerful and quieter Enermax PSU)
    -the tab "thingy" that you mentioned (I bent back all of the tabs on both panels)
    -and, the thick steel used throughout (I guess it's bad if you want to cut holes in the case, and good if you don't)

There have been a lot of case mods done on this case over at Virtual Hideout, check out their case gallery.
 
Let me fix the Vh link above (its .net not .com) 🙂

and yes the a=open hx-08 has been done alot since its a well built case. However, to do this case right....you'll need to do a bit of cutting. Check out the guides and you'll see a few hx-08 mod projects
