Are Aopen HQ08 and HX08 still good enough for current CPU's?!..

[Dance123]

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody has either the Aopen HQ08 or HX08 with a current PC (something like a 2.8Ghz Pentium 4 which I intend to buy)?!

What I love about the HQ08 is that you apparently can put those noisy harddisks in the back above the PSU so you don't get any noise from those, however I wonder if these cases have good enough airflow for todays CPUs so nothing overheats, like can they have enough air intake in the front and can all the hot air in the case espace thru the outtake fans above the PSU since there doesn't seem to be an outtake hole where the heatsink/fan is located so can all the hot air from the CPU, graphics card, etc.. espace thru the outtake fans above the PSU?! I don't want to start cutting holes or anything.

So, anybody who uses an Aopen HQ08 or HX08 with a current CPU?! Oh, what's the difference between the HQ08 and HX08 by the way?!

Thanks for all good feedback!

Mike.

I've got an Antec KS-188, same case. Latest system I've had in it is a T-Bird 900. I wouldn't put a P4 in them stock, but you could make them work.

Only difference should be the bezels.
