ghetto modded old generic case with 5 intakes from 80 to 92mm added and one exhaust blowhole added. its balanced as intakes fight through ghetto externally masking taped 1" washable furnace filters.

ghetto modded minitower with2 intakes added one exhaust added. also with filtered intakes.

and a chieftec xpider which needed no modding, has 5 case fans. adding filters would be a pain and make it ugly.

I've got 2 different versions of the coolermaster atc201, they both are very nice cases. Just about everything wrong with the original, they've fixed.

Only thing left on the 201 I'd change is the front vent. The grill, while looking nice and neat, is probably too restrictive.

Chieftec Scorpio TA10BLD Server Tower, Black.
Very very big case. Pics dont do the size justice.

I got it 2 years ago, went for a server tower, as it`d provide loads of room for various stuff, support for any mobo, ect;
Very impressed with it. The workmanship is very good. Every minor detail is exact and perfect.
Was planning on using it very long term, over several big upgrades (about 4-5 years usage), but because of Intel(and their new BTX standard), the chances of 4-5 year usage with reasonably modern parts in it is slim.
Still good though.
