    Cube Case

    I'm after a cube case of some sort (want some space for water cooling gear and such). Any idea where I can get one? I was looking at the Yeong Yang borg cube, but they're like hen's teeth these days it seems. So if anyone knows of somewhere I can get one (preferrably with them in stock) or of a similar alternative that'd be great!

    I have a cooler master 310, and love it, i got mine second hand because the guys wife (who i obviously am very greatful too) made him get rid of it. So i gave him money for a brand new stacker.

    have them in stock, but call for price. I belive the case was around £300. Its old now, so the tray will likely need modding. But its great.

    Hmm, interesting. I'm not bothered about windows or a quadrillion fans as I'm going for quiet, but there's some nice options there.

    theres one there thats got no windows, and the 3 fans running up the front will bolt straight onto a thermochill triple rad fitted inside

    edit: and dont forget you can use the silent yate loon fans (or something similar) on those PA series thermochills with no impact on performance, so theres a plus point.

    Was looking at the mountain mods site itself - they ship international, and it's not much more to get it direct than from O-C. Bonus is more choice of stuff, O-C only do the solid top in brushed alu alas, and I'm after black...

    Now the question is, do I spend $500 on a case?

    I don't get paid overtime, alas.

    Ah ha, it finally arrived! It's nice and chunky, enough space for all my gear I think, and it's real purdy.

    My current rig - A64 4000+, 6800GTs in SLI, all water cooled.

    Planning to have the rad ducted to those two rear fans shown in the pic, pump down on the floor. Fans are all panaflos, with rubber mounts for quiet running. Drives will be suspended using elastic cord below the 5.25" bays. Painted my DVD-R and floppy black a few weeks back for this also, they look nice in the case (have them mounted but it's too dark for decent pics, will take some more friday).
