Wow, a crazy case

[Civilian]

In my search for the perfect PC case, I ran across this thing:

:eek:

When I saw the price I was wondering why in the hell it was so expensive, and then I saw this:

By using the VapoChill technology to cool standard Intel or AMD CPU's to subzero temperatures (-25 to -15 degrees Celsius)

If you had this machine(and btw, there is no way in hell I would ever consider spending that much on a case...unless I won the lottery of course ;) ) how much overclocking could you do exactly? Would be pretty cool to hear about someone that has it.

Ya I've seen that before... I don't think it'd be worth the 400 extra dollars for the case to OC... I'd rather just get a normal case and some better parts. :p

I just got this case, and I'm totally in love with it. Removable docks for all your drives, great airflow, good power supply. http://www.sharkacorp.com/cgi-bin/TLSstore.cgi?user_action=detail&catalogno=chen-xpider-blk

I have an older case that looks very similar to that nav: http://www.gis.net/~powda/comp/

:) I like it too.

[�io]

Yeah i posted this recently, i thought it was pretty cool too. :)

[BLuE_ZeRO]

that's almost the exact same case I have powda. Except mine is black.

[Civilian]

Very cool case Powda. It looks great, but does it stay nice and cool? Did you have to add a better heatsink or extra fans?

[mistled]

I feel bad now... my case sucks.... it looks nice and all, but it's not nearly cool enough for this thread.. :tear:


nice case nav, did you go with the standard power supply of did you upgrade to a stealth?

[Navaron]

Nah, I got mine from DIT, and it came with a 420 so I was happy enough with that. We'll see, but I don't think I'll need more juice than that. Yeah my case has 4 led red fans - very sinister looking.

[Civilian]

Sounds very cool, Nav. Is this the PC that you just built/upgraded (or were considering building/upgrading) or an older one? Having 4 fans is very enticing :D

[Navaron]

Yep, that's the case I got,

I got a Asus NForce2 A7N8X Deluxe 333 FSB
AMD Athlon XP 2700+ .13 Micron
DDR 2700 - 512 MB Corsair CAS2/Htsnk CMX
and a WD Caviar 80gb 8mb cache - but it's only ata100, but heh, I'll live.
54x MAX cd
Samsung DVD Rom/ CD RW
Radeon 9700 pro
and a 1.44 floppy, what would I do with out that?


Thanks for the help guys!

[powdahound]

Nothing special in my case at all to be honest... Alpha PAL8045 heatsink (very big and nice) and a bunch of fans (have most of them turned off though; note the fan switches I put in). :) Everything stays cooler in the winter so I don't need the fans on...

and nav... I want your comp, asap. :)

Thermaltake has a very cool case coming out on the 10th, that I am considering:

http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=100031&Category_Code=C1-Thermaltake

It's loaded with 7 fans(none are exhaust) and it's all aluminum. It's also pretty pricey and none of Thermaltake's cases come with mobo trays, which kinda sux.

[Bighoss]

everyone knows my case is the best:D
DELL DIMENSION 4500
can't find these babies on the market no more;)

[Civilian]

Heh, yah. I have a good ol' Gateway, and actually it has been quite good. I have had my Gateway for 4 years, rarely do defrags and I just have the standard exhaust fan in the back. I've only had to reinstall windows 5 or 6 times ;)

[Bighoss]

in two years or so I'm gonna build my first computer. Hopefully that case goes down in price. What does a standard case go for?

[Civilian]

You can get a pretty good case for around $100. That case is expensive because it's made of aluminum instead of steel, and of course most cases don't come with so many fans.

[Bighoss]

hhhhmmm well screw u ultra case not worth that much dinero !
