Well, I never thought I'd be excited about a computer case...but the 830 is *beautiful*.
I decided I needed a new case when I got my 7950s as a replacement for my 7900GTXs. Temps were astronomical, and since I'm on air, I needed all the room I could get. My old case was a CM Centurion mid-tower, and there just wasn't enough room.
Well, I got the case yesterday (and a whole bunch of case fans) and slapped it together. It was wonderful to work in. Surprisingly, it's relatively quiet even though I have 7 120mm case fans in it (1 up front, 1 up top, 4 on the side, and 1 in back). I did pull the blue fan and replaced it with a plain black fan as I've kinda given up on the mod look (although the green Zalman AM2 9500 inside looks great at certain angles).
The black anodized look is probably the best finish I've seen. It just screams *stealth fighter* or something like that. It does happen to look like the Navigator's pod from the movie Dune, but I digress (maybe a new mod???).
Anyway, the case is a beast, and it's wonderful.
