    Any idea how much a Coolermaster Black Widow is worth these days?

    Got one sat under my desk and I'm tempted to put it up in the f/s forums here or on ebay, I seem to remember them being quite rare at one point just wondered if its worth anything these days?

    Hard to say, while it looks great, the cooling is dated, only 80mm fans
    How wide is it? This could have a big impact on the value, average case width has gone from 180mm to 205mm, Partly to accomodate 120mm rear fans but also tower coolers with 120mm fans.
    Shame really it does look very good from the outside

    Also have you cut it up at all? scratches? other ware?

    Well like all decent cases you should easyly get £30 /40 for it if its good condition.

    I would love to get my hands on one due to its classic styling & then set about modding it cooling wise. Duel 120mms at front, Duel or tripple 120mm blowholes full respray etc

    190mm (got my silver 201 here) - there is no way that you are getting a 120mm rear fan in.
    Can't see the front fans for HDDs but I strongly suspect that getting 2 x120mms in would be a pain -where's Gordy Hand when you need him...?

    Not really looks like you would just need to remove the HDD cage Then mount your HDDs in the 5.25bays. this would allow for longer gfxs and improved cooling.

    Looking at it i would also remount the psu at the bottom

    Cheers guys, might have to get the old socket A rig out of there and get it sold, I was gonna gut the dell I just bought and throw the innards into the black widow but space is more of a concern to me than having a flash case these days.
