The Best looking case.

[MoFoEd]

I love the constructive criticism some show, but then again it's expected on any message board.

That's what I have and I love it, just wish the window was on the other side.

What realyl surprised me about this case is how light it is, since it's not 100% aluminum I thought it was going to be a beast, but it's very light for it's size.

Quality & class all over..If you want a full tower then there is the V1200.

V1200 is not full, its just longer. which is plenty unless you have 8 hard drives. the V2000 is full, and therefore better for W/C. Unless you are going to use an external unit like the new OCZ phase changer.

That one has the CPU wind tunnel, right? I like that aspect of it, but it doesn't appear to have much cooling for the rest of the system, especially the video card(s).

um no I found that case to be rather ugly in my opinion, not to mention there isn't anything special about it in terms of air or water cooling or space. Thank you for the suggestion though.

The original CM Stacker seems to be a popular choice for watercooling setups due to its size. It's also not all that expensive; Sundial Micro has it for $145, although if you want a window it costs more. I'm planning to get one myself, as it works very well for normal air cooling too.

That's correct there's only an 80mm in the front to pull air to the videocard, and due to the motherboard needing to be inverted you need to be careful about your wire management. But I run my 1900XT in this case and don't have temp issues, i.e. the dustbuster is kept under control at all times.

Just hope it drops in price after it gets on the market.

dido on that price drop thing I love the way that case looks.
The way the price looks that is a different story.

Sundial Micro has the silver one on sale for $350. Sure hope it drops more than this.

I really like how the Gigabyte one looks but I don't know how well it works and it's pretty expensive.

The V1000 has the best form factor though. I will never leave upsidedown motherboard again. Ever.

I like NZXT cases like the lexa and the nemisis elite. for looks.

unless you use passive heatpipes from asus I hear they don't work upside down or at least not as well.

and i use the V1200 formfactor upside down... so the heatpipe is oriented correctly

I just purchased the COOLER MASTER Centurion 532 the other day and it just arrived. I wanted a budget case that wouldn't be a POS, and for the $45 + 15.99 shipping this case seems like it will get the job done.

It only comes with 1X120MM intake, but it is designed to have a second 120mm added for exhaust, so I'm planning to pick one up, maybe a Delta Triple Blade fan. You also have the option to mount an 80mm on the side. I also like the fact that the front is very well ventilated and comes with filters for the intake fan and on every drive bay.

Don't get me wrong, if I had more cash I'd probably have picked up the Lian-Li PC-7A PLUS-W for $110, but this Cooler Master looks like it will get the job done 🙂
