What do u think?

Good job on buying the most moddable ThermalTake case!!! I was looking into it, and found out that this is a very good case. Many people here also have it, so ur not going to be dissapointed.

Shweet, i just like how big it is, u can jam so much crap into it. But it will be the biggest bitc* to take to lans, it ways 16Kg + Other Hardware and my lan bag won't be able to carry that.

If u want to use a WC setup in the near future, this is big enough to fit it. And if u were gonna take this to LAN party's, y'd u get such a hevey case????

Use a trolley, or a little pull cart thing. My P180 weighs a ton so i just cart it about in a suitcase with wheels if i have to

LOL. I'm sorry, but posts like this make me laugh. Especially when I remember myself pulling my computer out because we had to evacuate due to the hurricane. That fvcking sucked. I'm glad I don't do LAN parties, because that was just painful.

Cause it looks awesome, and it can be changed around a shi*load. Also with my current case which is a black Xblade, it's a real mess inside.

I think thats a rather good idea actually. My friend lives on the islands and he carries his around in a cardboard box

 

[SmackAHobo]

hahaha we have a LAN Party like, every 2 weeks. It annoys the shi* out of me, when i have to keep moving my computer around, but when i actually get started i forget about it.

No way in hell. I'd host them at my house all the time. I always have alcohol anyway. I'm never moving my machine again until I move. I bought hot swappable SATA enclosures so that I can take out all the hds if I need to evacuate.

 

[SmackAHobo]

lol, awesome. What are these hot swappable sata enclosures? I could use 1 of them, how much r they?

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

Supermicro SATA enclosure. They go quick, so buy them when they are in stock. I've got two, and they are nice as hell. A bit loud if you have a quiet machine, but the fans can be changed out if necessary.

FYI: They mount vertically, not horizontally.

 

[SmackAHobo]

Looks good, i'll think bout getting some once i purchase my new computer. I mean i'd probably hang myself if i ever lost my 2nd HDD

 

[SmackAHobo]

O and in the second pic, is that ur case?

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

Don't hand yourself for losing your 2nd HDD. Hang yourself for not learning to backup properly.

And yes, that is my case. I haven't updated everything, but check my sig.

 

[SmackAHobo]

dude that case is fooken insane, how much did that cost u? And why 2 psu? LOL!

People are either asking what is the minimum PSU they can get away with, or they say you have too much. They just aren't ever happy, I swear.

Why? I don't believe in working with minimums. And I have enough power (1100 watts) to put whatever I want in this case, and keep it stable. You should see other stuff I've done. I have the 24p connector on the secondary PSU powering fans from the +12V lines. I also modded a 8pin EPS +12v connector and line to power 3 fans as well. Pretty much all of my power cables are custom length, with a lot of soldering and time put into each one.

Oh, and the case cost about $450, but about $100 or so to ship (100 lbs. shipping weight, hence no LAN parties for me).

 

[SmackAHobo]

awesome! When do u plan to finish it?

 

[Cruise51]

A bit overkill but I guess that's the point.

 

[SmackAHobo]

LOL! yea, i agree

By Feb. I need a few more hard drives to finish my RAID arrays. And then I have to get a cooling mod done for the procs and I'll be done. Later I'll add a Quadro FX 2000.

That's one incredibly LOUD case but if sound isn't ur concern I guess its okay.
