o this thread has been all over the place. just to bring it alittle more off topic my gf's case is done now kinda still waiting for video card but i "stole" one from a system i am building for someone this week so here it is.

don;t get me wrong i would have gotten a cm690 for her too but she was paying and didn't want to fork out the cash for a 100$ cm690 case i tried guys but this 30$ on sale at microcenter won

looks pretty good tho no were near as clean as mine inside tho.

lol. ill never buy a case with psu mounted on top ever again. even if it may not be the 690. ill never go back to top mount agian. xD fell in love with bottom mount (thx 690...) and wont ever change again xD unless they have some new creative way of mounting it >_> lol

yea don't get me wrong im not jumping ship here and switching to this case. its nice but no were near as clean or as easy to work on took 6 hours to put every thing in. screws wouldn't go in, pieces were hard to get to fit right, side panel looks like a numbnut took a chop saw to it and cut the slots in it. i think i am going to get a piece of acrylic from the home depot and replace it. oh and i took the fan bay mod and applied it to this case it doesn't have 2 front fans

it has 1 on a removable hard drive rack thats in between the cd drive bays. if it were at the bottom the video card (9800gtx+) wouldn't fit in the case.

btw just passed my stableity test 1 hour 100% load occt stress test well i play tf2 on my desktop. i love having 2 monitors

lol 24 for gaming 19 for monitoring another system.

its late leave me alone lol btw again i painted it it was the same as a cm690 stock.

you think? ill put the rosewill in place of the smaller 80mm one and check teh temps. and yes the 80mm makes a lot of noise and doesnt really move quite a lot of air. i had that lying around and space in the 690 so i put it in.

any ideas what can be done with spare 80mm fans that are just lying around? a mod perhaps..

hoiiii bastiaan_NL. i ask every time i update the roster if i missed anyone. If they were really prominant (did i use the right word here?) about joinin the club, they would check and tell me =X i try my best not to miss anyone but hey, im human

i think i may plan to update the roster in a bit when i overclock the sig rig. during stability testing.

add me to teh list as well please. pics here: http://www.overclock.net/6760830-post6464.html

bottom-mount PSU ftw!!

on a side note, ima thinking of getting a CM V8 cooler for the CPU. thing is, Im having second thoughts, as i can use the same cash to get a better processor or a bigger LCD.

opinions? do u think a V8 would be overkill for an e4400? i do intend on upgrading to a quad in the next 2 months, q8200 i think.

also, im thinking of this mod. its pretty simple, gloss-red paint the silver plastic strips on the top and front. thing is, im having a hard time removing the strips on the top panel. the front panel silver strips are easy cuz theyre screwed to the panel. the top ones are a bit tricky though. any help/suggestions..?

I agree, Since I got the CM690 I just want a bottom mounted PSU ..

Basically it looks more neat and easier psu installation ..

Gee.. We are nearing "Page 690" .. will be posting on that page .. hopefully!
