But then again the point of contention was the build quality and not the design since other case manufacturer were mentioned in terms of design and functionality. BTW it is cramped because it is a mid tower. (not full tower) and because of the thickness of the casing panels all are assembled...
Then he would probably know how thick that case was and how well it was made to be able to say that no case manufacturer comes close to the MacPro case.
Believe the inquiry is for which among the 2 cases.
If it were me I would get the 902. Better layout and built in washable filters w/external fan controllers included.
Neither, it all boils down to CFM rating of the the fan you intend to use. If it moves more air then temps will be cooler.
Regarding the fan butting up against the PSU, partially blocking the airflow path of a fan will essentially lessen the CFM of that fan.
Yeah, that coolermaster looks mean and all business. 10PCI slots and able to support that new mobo board size being intoduced by EVGA. (bigger that EATX).
Have tried that, standard fan won't clear the PSU unless you mod something. Fan placement is my choice to reduce strain on the coolant hoses being farther rather than nearer to the CPU. I can always have a choice on which orientation my fan operates, can either be push for exhaust or pull for...
Tried the Corsair H50 w/this case on the upper exhaust panel. Clearance issue w/the PSU. Must replace fan w/slim profile or modify mounting holes for PSU to lower it a bit.
Using a standard 3.5HDD on the provided mounting position renders the PCI expansion slot useless. Even a single slot VC would rest on the HDD itself. I ended up using a laptop HDD instead which is not my best choice.
It took me almost half an hour to realize why my videocard wouldn't...
Yes, there is a 902 and it's been out for quite some time now. Somewhat different from the 900 since it has provision for better cable management, having cable routing holes and larger depth on the backside where you can tuck your wires out of sight. Addition of washable fan filters also.
