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 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?
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.



Under construction....

All that hard work and nice cars and a nice house, you'd think you would have better things to do than brag about your PC in this forum I'm not hard to find by the way, just look in the Repka1 server during peak hours and I'll be in there. I havent ever seen you online, perhaps you spend too much time taking your PC apart to take pictures and show off to the little kids that are impressed by it? Or, perhaps, you spend too much time trying to get a useless 200 FPS out of the game and not actually playing it. I dunno.

"Oh pitiful shadow lost in the darkness, bringing torment and pain to others. Your damned soul wallowing in your sin. Perhaps, it is time to die."
I think you'll find we are in different timezones. Im at work right now.
There's a difference between bragging and sharing a passion i think, but I'll leave that to the others to decide. Maybe I will see you in the skies one day, you probably won't see me though To quote a famous Klingon, "Today is a good to die!" But it wont be me thats doing the dieing If you read one of my other threads you will see I have logged up a few hours with 10:0 K/D ratio after a 2 hour session.. So i think I get enough killing done. perhaps you will be my next victim. (ok so now im bragging, so shoot me...... if you can)

Then I will have to wait for the US release to get any good games online I like my quote better by the way...
I should mention then that was all kills in air combat sometimes up against 3-4 opponents at once. And im under no illusion that I cant be shot down, im just no easy target. BTW Im GMT +10 in Australia.
