I have this case. It's not ugly, just looks a bit "industrial". Best case I've ever owned BTW

Fair play! I'm not knocking the case's structure and layout just it's aesthetics - beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

I think it looks 'orrible.

^ those ASUS silent knights are wicked coolers, like a flashy-er version of the 9700.

jbunch07 · Oct 17, 2008

I love that HAF case, I wish I had one, from the looks of it it has great c/m and air flow.

kyle2020 · Oct 17, 2008

excellent for H20 setups too!

ShadowFold · Oct 17, 2008

I would have to say most lower end asus boards.. They dont look to appealing lol Thier mid/high end brown/black ones looks sexy tho.

Check out Bit-Tech's review, it's good!

I think tigger's ram cooler takes the cake here. That's pretty hideous looking.

And talk about drone (this is a Mac clone):

i have the alu version, cools very well is quiet and looks like a beast installed

InnocentCriminal · Oct 17, 2008

I think that's the first time I've seen an aluminium cooler look better than a copper one. Nice!

Trust a Herefordian to like something that looks like a petrol can.

I plan on ordering the same case the first of November. :laugh:

I'm in for one of those petrol cans too. Complete H20 rework, new pump, rad, everything. Plan on useing my old Koolance controller and integrate it into this case.

If it's the Koolance kit I'm thinking of, that would work quite well. Nice one!

Awww, that was cute. It should've been pink though.

It's the PC2 case - it's a customized Chieftech, and pretty decent. I am going to cannibalize the control PCB and the temp readout from it and put it in the HAF.

The PCB gives some great functions:

Temp probe
Fan control - 3 modes, 2 are automatic
Overheat (system shutoff) protection

I think it also has shut off for pump failure. If so, I'll have to figure out how to get that working with the Swiftech pump I have sitting in a box.
