Hi Guys!

great review!

I was recently looking at these compared to my planned t10 purchase cause for about the same price I will have support for multiple CPUs in the future....and your review did not help convince me otherwise

Are we goign to see another awsome p0pe build with the 3d printing in one of these too?

Great pics!
Am I the only one worried HDDs won't stay cool enough placed without direct airflow from nearby fans?

I was kind of wondering about that too so I ordered a MAC-102 with my STH10. So far I haven't needed it. There seems to be enough natural ventilation that the drives stay fairly cool. It helps that they are isolated from the MB, GPU and PSU. So far, so good thumb.gif

It's to do with positive and negative air pressure. If you have the exact same amount of air coming in as going out through fans, then the air would be stagnant; but reality is that most people have more air one way than the other so you end up with air flow through the vent. You have to include the air flow from the PSU and Air-cooled video cards that heat-dump outside the case too.

Actually, it just got better as of yesterday. The shipping rates to Australia went down $100-$150 (depending on the case). They're still high, but not as obscene as before.
