Wow, a crazy case

Civilian · 2003-02-02, 03:15 AM

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

http://www.directron.com/vapochillamd.html

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.

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/TL...hen-xpider-blk

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

I like it too.

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

BLuE_ZeRO · 2003-02-02, 02:55 PM

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

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 · 2003-02-02, 03:20 PM

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

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

Navaron · 2003-02-02, 03:31 PM

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 · 2003-02-02, 03:41 PM

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

Navaron · 2003-02-02, 03:54 PM

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 · 2003-02-02, 04:20 PM

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/Merch...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.

everyone knows my case is the best
