Its a great case for the price. I'm going to build into it for my GF's rig most likely.

I removed the mesh my CM 690 windowed side came with, and replaced it with a fan grill. It helped quite a bit.

I did the same with my 590. That grill is seriously restrictive.

Radical_Edward · May 16, 2010, 07:43 PM

Yeah, and if you put a R4 in that spot. Get ready for some annoying air restricting noises. Sounds like a car window barely open at 60MPH. Soooo annoying. (Mine did this before I got a fan grill, now it sounds normal. Yay!)

Perhaps, but it's very narrow. I bet large tower coolers don't fit well.

I guess thermaltake is better than I thought, I'm getting one of those in a week or so

IDK about the price there but should be around 40$

Yeah I bought a V3 case for $40 as my 2nd rig (cruncher) and for a cheap case it's not that bad.

My only con is the little too no space at the top of the mobo.

anonemus · May 17, 2010, 07:21 AM

@T77-- can you post more pics of your cable management? that's also my complaint with my V3

ALI3NTIG3R · May 17, 2010, 03:46 PM

Is the V3 a good Case ?

Better than the Asgard ?

Cable management with this is great, but keep in mind I am no stranger to the arts of C/M

This shot was with old specs>

But remember, like I said before...You might have a difficult time mounting fans to the top vents due to this cases lack of space. As you can see in the pic below- the ram clips get in the way. Also the rad of my H50 barely clears the ram clips (see 2nd pic below). If you don't mind the noise, Scythe Slipstream fans work very well as top fans and wont interfere with the mobo. Overall this case is great quality for value! This case has plenty of places to mount fans, so not having top fans is fine because the heat that does rise will just flow through the vent anyway.

TYPO

Either way, it looks good. That's why I was confused, thinking "wait . . . he's a stranger to cable management, but did that?"

You know if I had a another reason to go down to San Diego, I really would stop by and be happy to do the c/m on your case.

anonemus · May 18, 2010, 02:18 AM

@ t77-- DRATS!!!! if only I've seen your work two weeks earlier I would've never sold my CX400W! I thought it was impossible to CM it in my V3. Very beautiful work!

Radical_Edward · May 18, 2010, 04:39 AM

The GF and I moved things around a bit today. Got another shelf too, now my PC isn't on top of it's old box anymore! Yay!

anonemus · May 18, 2010, 04:49 AM

looking much better, Ed!

Radical_Edward · May 18, 2010, 04:50 AM

Thanks. The room feels much bigger now, and I feel like I have my own little "area" of space. It's nice.
