I don't remember posting these before. Yet, I was just reading the thread, random page by random page, and found I had posted about it in December last year. In this thread. And I don't remember doing it. Alzheimers? :banghead:

Akasa Silentium case, original version. Internal, integral, floor-mounted PSU gave up the ghost. Had to do some carving to fit a normal PSU on the rear of the case. Oh noes, cooler is 5mm too tall! No problem. Say Hello to Mr Holesaw, Mr Jigsaw, and a bit of edge trim.

I saw this article, then the name "Andre Yang", then people buying into it, and all I can do is roll my eyes. Similar to what Cadaveca said. Yang may not have cheated, personally, but he was most certainly willing to engage in fraud. Anything he touches will forever be sullied by that one...

How is this card pointless? The Asus Mars II was pointless; cost twice as much and was beaten by two 580's in SLI. Not to mention OC. Still, it pushed boundaries, like this card does, and that's good for everybody. I actually prefer Gainward cards for that reason. Exploring possibilities...

Can I shoot you for drinking what appears to be DIET Dr Pepper? That is a crime against nature!

I use a neutered OCZ ModXtreme for loop testing, completely external. Pulling the battery is just a symptom of habitual paranoia.

Won't get its battery back until it's fully leak tested. Which means, after new tubing. ;) I don't require the power of the AX1200. It was bought with the future in mind. The loss of efficiency below 50% doesn't concern me that much, as the costs are minimal. I'm not happy with the PSU...

Inverted Cubitek Magic Cube. I had to make the PSU brackets to help offset the weight of the AX1200 (the paint isn't great, I know).

I am thinking about switching to 3/8"-1/2" tubing, just because the larger tubing buries everything.

Have you considered the XSPC H2? If you're set on the choices you listed, the CaseLabs gets my vote. I prefer towers more than cubes though, and CL has stated they have towers coming. I like the simplicity of the XSPC tower, however.

Do you have a better picture of the PCI card holder? Is it strong enough?

Some months ago, NZXT actually posted a pic of the Sentry Mesh (not Mix) in a HAF 932 on their Facebook. When I asked why they were showing off a non-NZXT case, the pic was pulled. It's still here (fifth pic on bottom) on their site. Looks pretty good.

I'm not a Corsair fan, but out of Corsair's entire lineup, this is what I'd choose. Fairly sexy. http://www.corsair.com/pc-cases/carbide-series-pc-case/carbide-series-500r-white-mid-tower-case.html

Yep. If you can't get the Trooper, then my vote goes to the Scout.

I only use aluminum cases. I can't stand cheap plastic and steel boxes. That said... I'm looking for a reason to justify buying the Storm Trooper. lol That case is damned impressive. Great set of options. Stealth look, no glaring lights or gaping holes. Checked it out?
