What case?

crxy_sasquatch · 07-15-2003, 10:03 PM

I'm planning to get a watercoolign setup. I have some generic shitty case but not sure if it's worth upgrading. I have an amd 1.6XP along with a msi 6380 motherboard.

any suggestions?

What case you DO get is all personal preference but i think it's worth getting a good case that'll last you months (would like to say years but I'm being optimistic)

The case is the first thing peopel see of your computer, and it is where you can make a statement.... also having a good well designed case is so much easier to work on.

I like the Lian Li cases (Mine is the Lian Li PC70) though the chefftec cases are also well rated. Spend some time on research and come back to us with ideas and suggestions.

What case is that?

I think some kid is missing part of his mechano set ;D.

sign me up for one of them please

where did you find that case anyways? looks really nice, nothing flashy looking but plenty of room and all the fan holes (120mm by the looks of it) already there.

I just received it last night... This thing is a piece of art! 7 120mm fan holes and 4 80mm fan holes and 3 windows, removeable mobo tray etc, etc. My plan is to totally pimp it out. Dual heatercores etc. Gonna take this one slow, not going to rush it. As you can see below, my current setup is getting a bit cramped and the FS-020 is a BIG case. I need room to spread out

And you can get the case here: www.mountainmods.com tell them (Ben) that Scott sent ya

thanks

was gona get a chieftec matrix tower case for my new setup i'm building, but even with that being a big case, 25" tall, it would be very cramped, that case is much bigger, and looks better IMO, and already having the 120mm holes is a huge plus since those usual 80mm holes don't cut it for rads.

That's a nice case, it looks a bit like the Yeong Yang cubes but then custom build, about 10cm bigger (4") and a all the mods already done.
The price isn't bad either, compared to the Yeong Yang.
