    CES 2010 New Case Release Thread

    Hey Zero2dash, don't give up on us case makers yet! We are trying very hard and I think we managed to get good balance of airflow and quietness with RAVEN RV01/RV02 and Fortress FT01/FT02.

    Case Production Facilities

    Tom's Hardware has an article of their tour of Chenbro's factory five years ago. It's quite good read: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/china-dispatch,690.html

    Any i7 mATX rumors yet?

    Currently the least expensive X58 board retails for about $230, but that's without the SLI licensing. So I think we can expect DFI to price this one for about $250.

    Big Box Retailers Using Shifty Tactics?

    Perhaps they are just trying to show people the difference between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio on a big LCD/plasma TV? Sad but true, I still see people who don't know how to properly setup their hi-def set top box or disc player to display the correct aspect ratio for their brand new widescreen TV.

    280 or 4870?

    Well, he specifically said he wanted to play Crysis at 1680 x 1050 resolution and 9800GX2 seems to be optimized well for that. I would choose the GTX 260 over the 9800GX2 myself for more well rounded performance too.

    280 or 4870?

    How about a 9800GX2?? If you can still find one for around the same price as GTX 260, it's not a bad choice either. At 1680 x 1050 resolution, it will run Crysis much faster than both GTX 260 and 4870.

    HTPC cases with a short depth?

    Here is another case to consider, it's 14.2" deep but fits most standard parts: Silverstone GD02

    Slim Case

    Newegg created a new section not long ago called "HTPC/Media Center cases" there you will find more slim cases. http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=690&name=HTPC-Media-Center-Cases

    SG01 and ST60EF.

    I think the drive depth is the issue here, some of the newer blu-ray drives are noticeably longer.

    Silverstone TJ07 or Lian Li V2010

    There are many reviews on the TJ07 (google "TJ07 review") and most say it has good or great cooling. Maybe it is not the best case at air cooling, but certainly it can't be "poor," right? Does anyone have numbers that show direct comparison of cooling performance between the two cases? I...

    Which way should I put the heatsink?

    I suggest option A but moving the top fan toward the front of the case instead and seal off the unused slot. You will want to promote a front to rear airflow for best cooling performance.

    smallest standard atx case?

    With its volume at only 12L, the Silverstone LC02 is probably the smallest case that can hold an ATX motherboard, but there are a lot of compromises: http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/p_spec.php?pno=lc02&area=usa As a reference, the SG03 is 22.5L and the A05 is 39.2L

    Why is Lian Li cases so expensive?

    Actually they've been making aluminum cases for about 7 years, after Cooler Master and Soldam. Lian-Li started as a company making removable hard drive racks.

    So, after spending 2 months with my TJ-09,

    I think you maybe a bit too focused on the thickness of the side panels. The side panels are the only places the TJ09 is thinner than the LIan-Li I believe. Have you checked the front panel, hard drive cage, and everywhere else? If you remove the side panels on both cases, I am sure you will...

    Coolermaster Cosmos or Silverstone TJ09, though decision!

    I don't think it'll fit. There is almost no room between the rear fan and the case frame. I'd suggest that you start looking for another radiator. :(
