I went ahead and purchased this Lian-li HDD case to increase airflow, and will post pics and updated temps once i get it configured.

For all those switching over from the 900, welcome! Keep the pics coming so I can create a link to them through your name on the member's list.

I'll give the converter kit a try! There is nothing wrong with the case fan controller i'm just doing some future proofing and the fact i can hide the wires and run them along the sides and top. Thanks for the tip.

Why won't the top 240 work? As long as it isn't one of those beastly 2" thick rad's it will work. I am going to be WCing and will post pics when I finish - probably tonight but I have a heater core right now, should be getting a rad in a couple weeks.

You can also put a rad on the back using a rad box.

Add me to the club, just picked mine up 20 min ago!!!

And I'm finally starting to put her to some use as parts ever so slowly arrive...

Well I just got it up and running, having some keyboard issues though, obviously that isn't the case's fault. I love it so far, but I have to say that it is MASSIVE! Holy crap it dwarfs my old Antec 900. I thought it was a mid tower lol. I really like the fan controller/LED button but it does feel a bit cheap. I have it watercooled so I'll be sure to upload some pics soon. I want on the list :P

Actually, your thread helped convince me to buy the case! There's been a link to your review on my 1st post since this thread started. Very informative

Can't wait to see the water-cooling pics. I agree the "dash" seems a bit flimsy at times, but it is useful. Gotta love the handles though.

I have a question for everyone with this case: Is your PSU fan oriented UP, towards the motherboard, or DOWN, towards the floor. Also, which is better?

I recently changed mine to orient down towards the floor, and I think I may change it back to face upwards. My temps seem a bit higher than they were, and about 40% of the large intake fan is covered due to the lack of "air holes".

Let me hear your opinions! Thank you.

Hi, I've used it for a few months with the PSU oriented down and was ok, but since I upgrade my sistem a couple of weeks ago, I tried up this time and temps drop significantly, outake pretty well!!

cheers mate!

Well I wrote a pretty extensive review (I think) and provided a decent amount of information about water cooling. I can't upload pics right now for some reason (says uploaded successfully but it doesn't show up in my gallery).

Review

Also, here is something we can put in our sig's if you want. The (+)'s are supposed to be cross hairs.

(+) Cooler Master Storm Sniper Club (+)

Tell me how to quote it so you guys can copy it..and I will post it properly.

Sweet review, I added it to the OP (+rep).

Also, thanks for making the signature "link". Definitely appreciate it. I was thinking of having my wife make a banner or something for the club, since she's into all of that kind of stuff.

My HDD case arrives tomorrow, along with my Enzotech retention module so I can orient my DK to sit vertically (hopefully). Expect pics soon afterwards!
