    You sure the fans are stock? Gordy could probably answer this, he seems to know the 201 range inside out .

    *looks at desk....

    *that case seems familiar

    *ooohh its mine (btw Coolermaster dont do any case's with blue LED intake fan's as standard, you have to change them yourself)


    the PRAETORIAN is the same as the CM201B-SXK. All silver.

    They are even doing a black version of the Praetorian, (black widow with a new name innit ) But as far as i know the black version is anodised all over instead of having the side panel's painted with a mirror finish. Also a few minor tweak's such as label's on the front panel.

    He got it from baybus.co.uk from memory But unfortunatly I don't think they are doing baybuses anymore

    The 201 is and identical case pretty much , its not surprising as it was very popular

    so many replies, wow .. thanks


    the PRAETORIAN is the same as the CM201B-SXK

    the only difference I see, is some texts on the case + the praetorian doesn't come with a stock window ?

    You need to make sure the colours will match first

    good point .. but how do I know for sure without seeing it in real life ?

    I think everything case related, should have a color #, so if you want to buy let say .. a fan controller, you could choose the exact same # if possible ..
