Somebody mailed me with questions about the quality of this case (which is apparently competively priced and shipping for free from Onvia -- good deal, 'cause its over thirty-five pounds). In case anybody else is curious, here's what I told him:
I've received the case and am immensely
pleased. The story is that I had bought a demo case
with twelve fans modded on from AMK Computers in BC
and, when I received it, it was a hunk of sh*t:
ragged edges, bent side panels, etc. I ordered the
8950 because I knew that it was on current stocks in
the UK where I go to school, but here it sells for
500 with the cheap Enlight PS.
The case is huge, and if size is a problem, then
consider carefully. However, it's the best-built
case I've ever seen. The left side panel is
detached with integral side screws. The front panel
has detachable filters. The case wheels are
lockable and are business quality, ie. they won't
wear out. I think this may the last case I ever buy
or certainly if I sold it, I would strongly
consider buying another). There are only two small
ventilation fans in the back, but I've got spare
fans that will be installed anyway, and this case
has wonderful ventilation by virtue of its large
cavity. So yes, I'm very pleased.
