So I got my case today, Love it so far.

I wonder what the UPS guy thought, I ran to the door once he knocked to find these on my porch:

The contents of the small box:

And the contents of the big box:

Refurbished? noo wayyyyy.:

 

[mrfajita]

Mystery box inside the case, contained a few useful things i.e. standoffs:

Got the three exhaust fans installed:

Couldn't get the side panel on like this, had to re-do the cable management (not taking the panel back off to get a pic):

Not only does my motherboard look puny in here, but for once my graphics card looks puny as well:

Sitting under my desk (that server sitting next to it is lighter!):

good work broski

now for that monitor upgrade???? :-D

 

[mrfajita]

Never! I love my Hitachi CRT! (with an S before its name)

Really, other than how much depth of my desk it takes up, I love this thing. Better color and contrast than any LCD I have ever used (other than ones that cost $300>)

 

[Shanahan]

haha I was only messing with ya bro

I love that case. I say you paint the inside black! I sold mine a couple cases ago before this one... I havent put my stuff in this case yet, we'll see how much I like it then haha.

 

[mrfajita]

I am thinking about painting the inside ultra-flat black, but that will probably wait until summer, as I paint in the garage which is not insulated, and paint+cold=bad paint job.
I love it too, its so quiet, and yet everything runs so much cooler

also, did refurb come in good shape? Appears to be

 

[mrfajita]

The only sign that it is not brand new is inside, right above the PSU it looks like a tiny bit of the galvanization came off the steel. Apart from that, it is perfect, although the top IO ports will take some getting used to (already almost broke a flash drive)

Sweet, i have the same case except the nVidia edition.. kinda wish the store i went to had this one in stock....

 

[mrfajita]

I would like the NVidia edition, I prefer green LED fans to blue,

 

[deerleg]

i love red LED fans because i can actually sleep with them on
