[BW86]

ehhh its alright, does nothing special for me

 

[Corporate Thug]

god, that thing was supposed to be released for the longest time

its a nice case but nothing particularly special

 

[phillyman36]

I understand not everyone is going to like it to each his/her own. All im saying is if you are buying the case email newegg

 

[Degrador]

I like it a lot - Only things that would be nice improvements are BTX support (like the stacker), and if the handles were removeable. It has a very nice look to it though (other than the handles...)

 

[phillyman36]

Heys what up Degrador the handles can be removed. The Gaming Bomb 2 is the only reason i didnt take your advice and get the Cooler master Stacker.

1) Hidden channels to hide wires in back of case
2) Being able to mount the drive 3 different ways
3) sort of mac-ish

Yep, sounds good. Except that "sort of mac-ish" - (in Apu voice) What were you thinking?

I still like my stacker though - I have 3 optical drives, a fan controller and my psu has a drive bay thing (for tweaking voltages and psu fan). That Gaming Bomb 2 only has 4 5.25" bays . Also I've been thinking about getting into water cooling, so the room in the stacker will come in handy. Still, the new Chenbro case sure does look nice. If ever I win the lottery to have enough to buy a second computer, I'd probably get that case.

Hey D i hear ya its fine for me as i only have 2 optical drive and know 2 hard drives. im not going to do watercooling so for me its perfect take it easy

Yup, sounds perfect for your needs. Only thing left is to know what it'll cost...

 

[Bladen]

The price is a bit steep, as it is the first aluminium case Chenbro has made.

The big intake and exhast fans combined with the integrated cable management should take several degrees off that ambient case temp (and thus CPU, GPU, northbridge, etc).

I am getting one, at such time my Gaming Bomb 1 will become a filewall/virus scanner.

 

[MDE]

I like it, expecially the dual 120mm fans and the 92mm blowhole.

Still can't find it

Very nice case.

Have you tried the Chenbro site and asking for retailers, googling the case name and/or its model number?

 

[myzr]

1. waiting for an email back
2. tried googling case name Gaming Bomb II -- returned previews for the case, nothing else
3. tried googling model number PC61566 -- returned Chenbro's site, nothing else


However, in combing through the previews and whatnot, I did find a helpful site: www.teamchenbro.com The forums have a lot of information about it.

Basically, it seems retail cost is $199. They *should* be @ retailers by the end of them month but it appears there are some issues with customs.

 

[phillyman36]

Hey the cases are in the US but like you read Chenbro is still waiting for customs to release them. Micro Center will be getting the first shippment. Keep checking teamchenbro.com as they will let us know as soon as they get them

 

[MustISO]

Pretty nice, I'd like to see a review of it.

me too

 

[jose]

I'd like to know the price also ..

 

[Heinrich]

STILL not out yet

 

[Bladen]

Still in customs.

Could have sent it to other countries by now.

Luckily I am not waiting on that case now (I will but it for a future system).

 

[phillyman36]

Yes its still in customs. I cant wait any longer so i ordered the Coolermaster Stacker which should get here Tuesday the 2nd. When the Gaming Bomb 2 does come out if i dont really take to the Stacker ill sell it

 

[DyslexicHobo]

This kid I know has one. He won it at a LAN party a couple weeks ago.... Lucky bum!

 

[metalfan49]

I got my GB2 at the GXL LAN. I know I'm quite the Lucky bum. Much better than that old piece I was using, and nobody else can even get this thing yet! Oh, oops, don't mean to rub it in. All aluminum with removable Mobo tray were some of the features I was interested in for my new case, and I was quite pleased when I won this and got things I wanted plus stuff I didn't even think about.


Hi phillyman.
