Some stunning cases but suprising to see there's no mineral oil ones there. I don't know who came up with this crazy idea but it's fairly popular. Certainly not fun when you need to do an upgrade. :grin:

Coolermaster Haf 912+. Nice to look at, at least somekind of filterin in the main fans, big inside (Noctua NH-D14 and 6970 fit right in without any problems), good cable management, black interior, quite quiet even with three extra fans, cheap but not cheaply made and has a good airflow. My only complain is that filter cleaning means that I need to open both sides and lift the case up.

Wondered how long it would be before you showed up in this thread Phat with that monstrosity...

This thread is for 'normal' cases only....not those NORAD types :rolleyes: :)

Most of my PCs sit in lian Li cases...
but for the new build, I went with a mountain mods pinnacle 24.
Mainly for the XL ATX form factor.
ITs a pretty big case. all aluminum... and its american made.
Expensive as hell though. But I like it.

I asked for pictures. There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking pride in one's system.

I bought 3 Chieftec Dragon cases back when they cost about £40 each and my wife still uses one. Of the other two, only one still survives and is now holding a rig I built for a friend. The third was seriously cut up back when I first started water cooling and was eventually put in the back of a car which was going to the breakers. It had served well for 11 years - RIP.
Those cases were well made from good steel, with rolled corners and well reinforced. When we moved to our new house I used them as decorators trestles with a couple of 12 foot scaffold boards run across them, after draping bits of blanket over them, and was able to paint right up to the ceilings in our attic rooms. The staging was so solid that I also used it as a saw-bench too :D I saved a good few pounds by not hiring trestles and, once the wrappings were taken off, the cases were as good as new. Plug and play in fact, I was back playing IL2 on the night we finished the last room.

Most recently I picked up a Hiper Anubis as the box for my gaming rig to go in. It's black, aircraft quality aluminium (so they claim) and it does the job just fine.

They even supply a brush for cleaning out those fins on the top.

Also, are those NINE fans(LOL) on the front blowing air into the case? It looks like theres nine blowing in and 1 blowing out...lol brilliant.

Azza Solano Full tower here. Great airflow and it looks good too, doesnt have all kinds of sily looking appendages and whatnot hanging off of it.

Not only are you jealous you also cant read and arent too bright huh? :rolleyes:
Check my signature.
There are 24 fans for the 4 radiators, 6 per radiator in a push-pull configuration.
There are also 2 dedicated Exhaust fans + one of the radiators is at the back also exhausting air.

By the way if you insult me one more time Ill just have to find you and cut you down to size on a server. Some how I dont think there is anything wrong with my appendages (is that word too big for you?) I have 5 kids and a very happy wife to prove it.
Are you going to insult me about the expensive car i drive or the expensive house i live in or my beautiful beach side holiday house? Some of us are just fortunate enough to indulge our passions because we are successful and work hard. And I dont appreciate being told because I have a good life that im somehow trying to make up for something. Seems to me your the one feeling a bit inadequate here! Now get back in your box AND STAY IN IT!!
:)

Besides this is a hobby and half the fun is in the building of something like this.
