I'm giving the AC5 a couple of days to bake in before i start doing any major temp testing, but i let BOINC run at 100% GPU and 88% CPU last night for 10 hours, and it capped at 60C, idle temps are around 30C.

Is it any quieter with that fan on there?

So, deciding on a new case for myself (Scout will be bought by my brother since he needs a pretty rugged case as he's using my hacked up AeroCool POS) due to my motherboard issues and I happened to stumble upon a new HAF by CM that looks like the NDA was lifted today.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119265



I was planning on getting the BitFenix Shinobi XL, but now that I saw this, it's 1/2 tempting, and I'll save myself $50 and get this box. Looks like it can fit a few 240mm rads in it, one on the front and maybe 2 on the top. Plenty of clearance on the bottom of my board too for that molex plug I can't plug in with this board in the Scout.

What do you guys think? Should I keep looking at this box, or just go with my plan and get the Shinobi?

The first HAF I like!

Supports up to one 240mm and one 120mm Radiator

From the edge of the motherboard and the inside front of the chassis we have roughly 3.5” of room; which, is more than enough room to use some of the larger/thicker 240mm radiators available to us

The motherboard will be installed into a removable motherboard tray.

I saw this and loved it, but I dont like that it supports so many SSDs and not more HDDs. i was looking at this to be a home server.

Yeah, I didn't realize that it supported 4 2.5" drives internally, and only 2 3.5" drives in the hot swap bays. I mean, you could turn the 5.25" bays into HDD if you wanted, which I may do to one of them.

You could also get laptop HDDs to go into the 4 bays as well. I think with the current trends we're seeing, more cases will start having more 2.5" drive spaces and less 3.5".

I hope they don't, SSD's prices are not low enough to justify using them as data drives. Soon though they might make sence for a media drive if Ultra HD video catches on, I'm not sure if a HDD will cut it.

My initial reaction is that it would be cool as a file server, especailly if there were several of those removable drives, rather than just 2. The build quality seems solid from a couple of reviews I read, and its only 99.99. I looked into getting Icy Dock for 3 more bays, but that device was 80+ dollars. I can find a case I like better for less than 180 bucks. I think SSD mounts (the Trooper comes with a removable SSD mounting rail that can take up to 4 (I believe), but still leaves plenty of room for 3.5". The idea that you can fit 5 SSDs but only 2 3.5s" is kind of crazy. New egg lists it as able to hold 6 3.5" internals, I'm glad I did more research.

newegg says it can hold 2 3.5's (from X-Dock)

My father passed away Tuesday afternoon. Damn I wish it could have been caught sooner. Makes me think I should go to the doctor more often. @#$%!
