Scorpio Case

Does that case come with Fans?

Yeah, i agree w Electro. Screw Antec performance. Go with the window/sidefan so you can invite 15 year olds over and impress them with the pretty window/lights.

he is 15 years old, so those are his friends. the Scorpio is very nice performing anyway.

Well, if he ever decides to grow up and realize where performance lies (inside the case) and where you can stuff "what your friends think", then here's my suggestions:

All these cases have slots for 5 fans, are heavy duty, and are made by Antec so they have the BEST power sources available.

Silver w/ 430W
Black w/ 400W

And, if you MUST get a window (so you can make sure your parts haven't changed color):
Silver w/ window & no PSU

Whats wrong with a nice case, im not going to mod and trick it out all I want is a window and a light on the inside. It makes it look nice IMO

Update - I got one of my friends who has been working on PCs for 8 Years and he agrees with alot of the things in this forum except for the cases hes getting me some good deals and is going to build the system. Good Job Rob

Geez vitter, if performance lies so much INSIDE the case then why are you so vehement against a cheaper case. We already know you like "steel" so heat can't be an issue.

Bio, yes that case comes with the same fan setup as the others I am pretty sure. Should be a standard setup for "scorpio" cases or the raidmaxx. If he can beat those prices with ps then defintely go for it. Personally I paid out the nose for my last case and I don't care in the least. I'll have it for another 10+ years prolly.

not if you want a BTX board daleon

Vitter you getting to the point were your being stupid, its a nice scase, and it will performe nearly as well as the antch and as Daleon said your contradicting yourself

Vitter · 2004-05-21, 09:26 PM

Seems pretty simple to me. Steel case doesn't affect heat to any sort of noticable degree (ok, maybe 1 degree celcius) when you have 4-5 fans installed. What more than counterbalances that is that those style of cases are easy to install, solid (can't be scratched or bent or dented), and will last you for god knows how long. If components stay this size, I can see you using a case like that for decades.

An aluminum case with psychodelic paint job, window, and a bunch of other crap? I can see it lasting you a couple of years, either until you hit puberty or you break it.

[EDIT] Sorry for being "stupid" and using coherent sentences and legitimiate argument points. Lemme switch it up and bring it to a more easy to understand level:

Aluminum is easyier to bend and dent but its only like a .01% chance better, so Steel offers no advantage. It's a high Quality case Vitter, you may not like it but alot of other people perfer not to have a drab Biege box.

They are everybit as solid, lighter, more flexible in the side pannels so dents don't happen as often, the side panel flexs and pops back
Stupid does not refer to you scentences, but that fact you can't possibly understand why somebody would want anything but what you sugested, Aluminumcases are recomended by nearly eveyone, AND HE NOT SACRIFICING PERFOMANCE IN THE LEAST YOU RETARD GET IT IN YOUR THINK SKULL.

sorry bio this threads done
