Got my new case - snazzy

Got my new case for my soon to come in the mail Athlon 900. It's a Magitronic Mid-Tower 300

It has no screw, everything pops/slides off/open. No sharp edges either. The mobo tray is spring loaded to it it pops off in a jiffy AND the power supply cables are long enough that you can take the tray out and leave the power plugged it... very nice for testing.

Also, what I like most is that all the hard drives mount in sleaves that slide in and out of the case - so you take a sleave out, put your HD in and slide the sleave back in. There are three sleaves that hold 2 drives each - don't think I'll ever have 6 drives but what the heck hehe.

I tried to mount my super-large-big arse Compaq ProLiant cooling fan in the back of case above the power supply, but it's about an inch too tall, the above archi interferes with it. Time to get out the hack saw!

Heres the low down:
300 watt PS
Six 3 1/5 hard drive slots
Four 5 1/4 bays
One 3 1/5 Floppy Bay (Sits by itself at top of the case).
Mounts for 4 120 mm fan (I think, I counted what looks like 4 but I didn't measure).
It came with a lower-forward cooling fan to help keep the cards/cpu cool as well.

I am debating on weather to by 2 bay coolers or just make a blow whole, but it's a really nice case and I don't wana tear it up so fast hehe.
 
I got it from a local vendor, Magitronic has been making comp stuff since the early 80's, I think they made transistors in the 70's. They have kinda died down since like 1994 but they still make good stuff.
 
it's like hmm let me measure:

18 inches tall, 7 1/2 inches wide. The fans mounte side ways on the case, kinda hard to visualise. I wish I had a digital camera.

Now that I take a closer look they look like 80-100 mm mounts... i still haven't measured
 
holy cow! that sounds like a kick a$$ case, do they have a web site or anythign? and how much did you pay for it?

whoa........smaller than my case with the standard number of slots 🙂

oh well who cares, what are you going to use all those slots for anyway? nice case tho....
 
I dunno try magitronic.com, i payed 19.99 for mine - it was on sale so I had to snag it up quick 🙂

Right now I have 1 hd and 1 cdrom (waiting for the dvd) so there are 8 open bays all together, dunno how I will fill them though.
 
oh... okay.. they're likely 80 or 92mm fan slots.. that's mroe like a mid-tower now. (there aren't any mass-produced 100mm computer case fans).
