This case doesn't seem to get a lot of love around here. I guess not a lot of people have them. Didn't see a club so I figured I would start one. I will update this post but just putting it up for now.
Not sure what the requirements are to get official status I will have to look into it.
. I love this case. A real charm to work with. My only wish is that I had a modular PSU, but even with my one, I managed to work it out. About to put the rear exhaust back in as I just found an adapter. That was the one shellshock to me about this case. Specifically 3-pin fan connections.
Man lightsout!! I gotta say this isnt a bad looking case. Im its starting to grow on me, that or the 600T for my next case. Wont be too soon since Im still considering the custom loop for the tj08-e, I still like its tiny size, but next case will probably be atx.
I think this case has a lot of potential though, I would probably find a clean way to paint or "wrap" the front silver panel, probably make a bigger window too and this thing would be perfect.
Thanks man. Yah I am loving this case for sure, get a few bucks so I grabbed some black extensions for the gpu power, a fan controller and a couple new fans.
But it actually has no window. Really needs one though. But I do like it how it is.
It would probably be pretty easy to hide the silver. It doesn't bother me though.

Lol yeah saw the newegg video right after, I thought it was a tinted window or something. How well does air get past those covers? Enough for a radiator? Curious how temps are with your h100
Bump for wondering about H100 temps, I've been looking at this case for a week or so and I think I'm going to settle for this or a 600t. I really like all the luxury touches (super thick sound deadening, rubber grommets and rubber lined doors, etc). I'd use an H100 too.
I'm also curious if it is possible to fit a fan controller inside the door without it creating a bulge? Has anyone been able to do this?
I have my 1090t at 4Ghz, idles at ambient temp, never gets above 54*c on full LinX load. That is with the stock corsair fans in pull setup inside the case. If I put them on the highest setting full LinX load doesnt go above 50* if that.
As for a fan controller, unless you can remove the knobs, you wont be able to close the door. but it is removable if need be.
Oh, I am now running 2x 140mm YL med fans on the side. Keeps my 4890s about 10* cooler and still dead silent. I am now able to keep my 4890s fans at 50% or less under full load. (Diablo 3)

You need to take off the vent covers if you have fans in those spots. I made that mistake at first and temps were no good. But there is magnetic dust filters on all the fan vents.

Staryoshi a previous owner recommended me the Nasty sentry mesh controller. It will be here on Tuesday. It should work with the front door closed. Its on amazon only 25 shipped.
As for the h100 temps I'm pretty pleased. 2600k at 4.8ghz is in the low 70s while priming. While folding it usually stayed at 69c with some peaks at 70 on the hottest core.
This is with the h100 in exhaust up top and only two front fans intaking. My 670 windforce will be here monday. As I understand it is going to want some more air so I have some fans coming for the side panel.
Sweet, new members, you guys are added.
pez were you expecting the case fans to be 4 pin or something? I didn't quite understand.
Anyone using side panel fans? I have a windforce 670 coming so I wanted to give it some more air. Got a couple of those new corsair fans coming in.

Half of my build is via MC, I have a 680 coming in via Amazon and I need to order PSU/HDD/RAM and a few fans via Newegg.. It should all be together by this coming weekend.
My last build was fully sleeved/modded out, I did a Lian Li with WC and powder coating, etc... Going to be hard to resist modding this one. I had to hold myself back from ordering MDPC-X Sleeving for the PSU.
