If you are looking for a case for overclocking, I have a premodded one for sale for $74 (It was over $180 for me to make it). For pictures, please try this link: Click Here

If the link doesn't work, just email me and I will send you the pictures. Email

Here's the description:
The case is Inwin A500 - highly reviewed by arse technica, overlockerz, OCP, etc.

There is a large in-take hole in the bottom of the front with two 120mm panaflow fans stacked together, and a 90mm blow-out hole on the top of the case near the back, directly above where the cpu would reside. So the cold air flows in from the bottom, and the top fan blows the rising hot air out. You can actually feel the hot air as it comes out of the blow hole.

All the holes have been fitted with black rubber mouldings and have an anodized aluminum grill on them. The front in-take hole also has additional dust filter placed between the fan and the grill. The fans move a ton of air and the dust filters keep the inside of the case very clean.

Because of the rubber moulding and the black aluminum grills, it looks very clean and professional.

It also has a Antec hard drive cooler in one of the 5.25" slots.

All fans are panaflow fans. They are the quietest fans around. The grill and the filters also reduce the fan noise.

The 120mm fans on the in-take hole has been stacked on top of each other to overcome the added resistance of the dust filter and the grills.

With this set-up, I was able to overclock a celmine 533a to 920 MHZ using a golden orb.

Price breakdown:
Inwin A500 - $55.
Panaflow 120mm X 2 : $16 x 2 = $32
Panaflow 90mm : $13
120mm Anodized Black Aluminum Grill : $15
90mm Grill: $10
Dust filter holder: $8:00
Filters (5 replacement filters): $5.00.
HD cooler : $15.

Total: $153. (plus I paid about $30 in shipping from various sources)
I'm selling these for $74 only because my wife's compnay gave us new computers and so we sold all the computer parts. The only thing remaining is this case and some other odd parts.

Let me know if you are interested. Thanks.

By the way, the mobo is mounted on a removable tray so there is no issue with the power supplying getting in the way of mounting the cpu/hsf. It also makes installing new cards or upgrads real easy.

I haven't tried it with a slocket, but from researching the web, it appears there should be no problem with this. There is ample space to mount a tall heatsink, and I am sure a slocket would fit just fine as well. I've researched the web a lot before buying this case, and it was a highly recommneded case for modding withtout any qualifications.

Pictures are being sent out to all those who requested. Thanks for your interest.
