Finally bought a case

[996GT2]

After much consideration of many cases, I finally decided to get the silver Cooler Master Wave Master. At Geeks.com it is selling for only $64 with $12 shipping, so I advise anyone who is looking for a good case to check it out. It is all aluminum, has a removable motherboard tray and rear-insert PSU slot, room for 3*80mm fans, and front LEDs. In most other places it is selling for well over $100.

Thanks to all the people who helped me in the decision-making process, and a special thanks to t3h l337 n3wb.

Enjoy the case! I'm sitting in front of one right now, and they're really quite beautiful and elegant compared to most other choices out there (IMO of course). Airflow in them is a bit restrictive, though, because the front fans are pulling air through a rather small (and obstructed) grill. If you're planning on any heavy-duty performance, I'd suggest modding in a quiet 120mm on the side or top to get some more air into the box.

Wavemasters are awesome; until last year every time i did a "fantasy-computer-build" I would always deck my system with a wavemaster. Unfortunately they are awfully old and don't have a 120mm fan. I guess it really depends on what kind of system you got.

they are well built and they look nice but the cooling potential is not very good

I definitely want one but the thing that's preventing me is the lack of 120 mm fans. After having the cooling of 3 120 mm (1 of which is modded into the drive bay), I never want to go back to 80mm fans again.

That's a great price - I have a blue one.
As above shame that it doesn't have 120mm fans & the (any) door imo is a bit of a pain but I bought mine for the paint job.

hey nice choice of case, recently saw a friends in gloss black - awesome 😉 Cooling wise like a few guys have said aint the best, i would advise installing the top exuast fan as he did, alot of hot air gets expelled there.....worked quite well infact 🙂
